sparkysmum Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Judy (mother of Andy) had a day at our local primary school. She did some tennis coaching with the P3's and some other activities. She was fab At lunch time she must have signed a couple of hundred autographs and gave out hundreds of signed photos of Andy What a lady, not a hint of "celebrity". Lots of TV cameras around but I'm not sure what it will be on. Wish other sports people wre as down to earth Ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I heard her being interviewed on the radio ages ago and thought what a nice, down to earth person she sounded . (Well, she is Scottish so what else would you expect .) Chris Hoy has been to my kids' school and by all accounts is the same . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Would LOVE to have met Chris Hoy. Went to see Dame Kelly Holmes the winter after she won her double Olympic gold. She was lovely too & happily signed photos. Which sportsperson would you like to meet the most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 We were childishly excited when Erik Zabel (Tour de France rider) cycled alongside our car in France on holiday a few years ago. (OK, so we didn't "meet" him but we were still excited .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 We were at a cricket benefit dinner a couple of months ago and there were quite a few sporting heroes there. The ones that came over to our table were really down to earth and lovely. Lawrence Dellaglio was ever so friendly and Matthew Pinsent was just enormous but very nice with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina C Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Still on the hunky rowers theme, James Cracknell came to a company thingy in Oxford yesterday. Gave a very funny speech. Seb Coe did a turn for us via video too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
