Gary Stevens used to live over the road from me growing up when he was playing for us

My dad has taught numerous players over the 80's 90's to play snooker so I quite often would come home to find a player in the house

Hopefully not while your Dad was out :blush:

My mates Uncle is Albert Dunlop

..Albert Dunlop died in 1990. I remember his mother, Gertie quite well because she was 'on the Committee' of Everton supporters club with my mum in the 60s and 70s. Gertie had a season ticket just a few seats from me in Upper Gwladys St.

Played football and went to school with Dixie Deans great grandson.
Played at Goodison.
Alan Stubbs almost ran me over outside Woodwards.
Went to a wedding as a kid that Francis Jeffers attended and got his signature on a napkin.

Any of those count?

Ah yes, I believe that would still be the correct term then as the 'x times removed' goes either way

Sort of I guess, maybe not. My uncle (mums side) married a girl who's dad owned the Dublin Packet pub in Chester. The pub originally belonged to Dixie and my aunty's dad purchased it just after he died.

Not me personally but a slight family connection I suppose.
