How about Diego Maradona?? Would be a massive guest who'd I'm sure would generate a lot of interest. Looks as though he's open to autograph signing events too - http://www.athletespeakers.com/speaker/diego-maradona/

I'm glad you had a good experience with Carl Froch. Don't get me wrong he wasn't rude or anything just didn't overly take to him. I suppose that's the good thing about these events. Everybody gets to meet different people and have different experiences with them. I'm pleased you had a good chat with him.

Went to Collectormania 23 on Saturday and met the boxer Anthony Joshua. All I can say is what a top guy. I've met a lot of movie stars and sportsman over the years but he's without doubt one of the best I've met. I got my photo signed by him and literally stood there for about 3 minutes chatting to him, he never once stopped eye contact or tried to move me along. He comes across as a very humble and genuine guy. I know he's just starting out on his career but I really hope he goes to the very top. He was telling me about fighting in Glasgow, fighting at Wembley on the Froch/Groves undercard, going to schools around where he lives to do talks etc. Near the end he asked my name and where I was from, we had a handshake etc, just a top bloke all round. I was very, very impressed by him. I also met Carl Froch and Kell Brook. I wasn't overly impressed by either of them to be honest, neither were rude but found them a bit arrogant, there was no warmth, they gave standard answers and generally didn't seem overly interested in being there or meeting anyone. Met Paul Gascoigne, didn't get a lot of time with him but I did tell him about my memories of Italia '90. Got a handshake and a bit of chat. Was rushed a little but still a great person to meet. Finally got my Italia' 90 England shirt signed. Met Jack Charlton, again another top man. Asked him his most memorable match in charge of the Republic of Ireland. Said it was their 1-0 win over Italy in New York at USA '94. Also spoke to me about Paul McGrath and we discussed about him marking Baggio out of the game. Also met the actors Costas Mandylor who had a few stories to tell from the set of the Saw films and William Sadler who was a nice bloke. We discussed The Shawshank Redemption. All in all a top day, Anthony Joshua definitely topped it for me, I'll be telling anyone who wants to listen about what a nice guy he is.

I'm going to keep it brief but basically myself and my mate had the same issue as everyone else. We got there just before 9am and gave up by 12:45. I've never seen anything like it! I have found this vid that someone has posted (not me) on YouTube of todays queue - www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP4H6ZFrxd4

How about maybe trying to get possibly the greatest player of all time Diego Maradona to an event?? I'm sure they'd be huge interest if somehow Diego was persuaded to come over?

Hi, I met Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa on Saturday and I must say he was great. Probably the best guest I met of the day (others I met were Tom Sizemore, Robert Knepper & Christopher Lloyd – all were cool). I found Cary to be very welcoming and very friendly. I told him I liked his t-shirt. (it looked like the tattoos he had from Showdown in Little Tokyo) I got a Showdown photo signed and I asked him his favourite scene from Showdown in Little Tokyo. He said it was when he chopped the girls head off. This reply cracked me up, wasn’t expecting him to come out with that. I did tell him that I hated his character in that film and he was proper evil, he said I’m glad because that was the idea. My mate asked him about Pearl Harbor with which he got a very interesting answer about the scene of the planes on the Japanese aircraft carrier taking off. Cary was happy to pose for photos with both and me and my mate and was it. Overall I found him to be a great guest. I'd love to see him back at a future event. I was just wondering what anyone else talked about/thought of Cary?
