    Footballers? The closest I get is that I was good friends with John Worsfold's wife, Georgina, at primary school. I also played against a few of the early Eagles in my high school days.
    Other than that, none that I know of.

    Used to have a drama class with a few Neighbours/Home & Away stars and they weren't any good at acting back then either
    If ignorance is bliss why aren't there more happy people around ?
