He may be just 11 but Strood schoolboy Daniel Stevens is an impressive name-dropper.

While other lads enjoy computer games and football, his passion is collecting autographs.

And, surprisingly for his age, being a big fan of music from the 1950s and 1960s, much of his album includes singers and bands from nearly 50 years before he was born.

The Strood Academy pupil is not one to miss an opportunity in his hunt to get signatures from the rich and famous.

When Jimmy Osmond came to Chatham’s Central Theatre for his Andy Williams tribute show, he followed him over to the KFC in the High Street.

Not only did he get his autograph and tickets to the performance, but the American pop idol bought him a takeaway.

Elvis-mad Daniel tracked down Priscilla Presley in 2015 when she appeared in the panto Aladdin in Milton Keynes.

To his amazement the Hollywood star sent him a signed Christmas card to his home in Gordon Road.

While his mates might be listening to the likes of The Vamps and Shawn Mendes, Daniel is more in tune with the Tremeloes and Manfred Mann.

Both bands are still touring, so he was thrilled to enlist the likes of Mike d’Abo, Paul Jones, Brian Poole and Chip Hawkes on his books.

And from an even older era, P.J. Proby and Wayne Fontana have also signed in.

On the sporting side he has Sir Geoff Hurst and Gianfranco Zola.

More up-to-date stars include Midge Ure and Billy Ocean.

Dad Scott, 50, said so far his son had a 100% success rate – apart from Ringo Starr, who declined but gave him a high-five instead at Jerry Lee Lewis’s final UK concert at the London Palladium.

Mr Stevens said: “I believe in etiquette and me and my wife, Tanya, have always made sure he doesn’t pounce on people as soon as they arrive on the scene like some autograph hunters do.

“He always addresses them politely, and being a child helps. It would be pretty rotten to turn him down.”

Mr Stevens, who works for a tank services company, added that Daniel’s hobby was also helping him with his dyslexia.

He said: “I set him a challenge and once he has got a signature, I get him to write up a background piece on the person.”

His pastime, which he inherited from grandfather George Woodgate, who specialises in sporting figures, has also rubbed off on his sister, Ciara, eight, who has just started her own collection.

This year Daniel is setting his sights high.

He is aiming for Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Mick Jagger, Sir Elton John and Sir Tom Jones.

He said: “Sir Tom would be great because he has played with Elvis – that would be the icing on the cake.”
