Some of those I have met - Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar when he was an 18-year-old and making his world debut (he was a real brat); Francois Pienaar who captained the Springbok rugby team to victory in the Rugby World Cup in 1995 (in fact, I met the entire Springbok RWC squad); Pa kistanian cricketers Wassim Akram and Waqar Younis ( I still have a photo of me with Younis); England cricketers Alec Stewart and Michael Atherton and yes, I have met Shane Warne!! Also, the genius F1 driver Alain Prost and a few other sporting stars from the 1990s.

But the most amazing experience of my life was to meet the world's greatest living human being, Nelson Mandela, in 1994, prior to South Africa's first democratic elections which saw him become the country's first black president. That was truly humbling.

I've also met Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and the Kaiser Chiefs (but I didn't know who they were until someone told me).
I've seen Damon Hill several times but never actually spoken to him.

I'd be lying if I said I knew them Chris. I go to Silverstone for the GP every year and have just met them there.
