  1. I only went to meet the footballers, had a bit of a wander round. They were great. I have no idea who most the other guests were as they are not to my interest, but I have now Googled Evanna Lynch and have an idea who she is. Made me a bit hot under the collar! haha. What a beauty!

  2. Felt real sorry for the feamle Showmasters assistant I saw, not sure if the same one had responsibility all day, she seemed at her wits end bless her.

     

    I find it a bit comical with the whole shirt thing - more for the fact that I think there was still the option of getting an item (although not shirts) and a photo or similar signed, as the Showmasters lady was tallying off what was what.

     

    Therefore my question is this.

     

    If I had paid a premium to get an item signed, do you think he would have signed a cricket bat for me if asked?

     

    :P

  3. They say it's always diasppointing to meet your heroes don't they... however

    Given the press and everything over these last few years I wen't in with a frame of mind that wasn't expecting anything. He didn't seem on the best form but was polite enough to me and showed interest in the book I asked him to sign.

    Admittedly the no signing shirts rule seemed a bit bizarre.

    Alot of money perhaps, but to me an oppotunity not be missed, and a photo I will treasure.

    Feel sorry for those who left with negative experiences.

  4. By far the biggest draw for me too... unless another icon is pulled out the bag.

     

    I don't know how or if this event is advertised and as such how popular it will be - so my other concern is getting there and finding queues are such etc that I don't get the oppotunity to meet him / get his autograph. As such, do people think its worth being able to prepay for his autograph in the online shop, in the same fashion as the photo session?

  5. Im going for the stereotypical footballers I'm afraid, thats all that really interest me... ex England Internationals in particular.

     

    I'm all for the Italia 90 reunion, I think that's a fantatsic idea, the first World Cup I remember, and with great fondness. Massively selfish, but if you wanna concentrate on those who's autographs I don't have already then I'd appreciate it hehe!

     

    Gary Stevens, Stuart Pearce, Terry Butcher, Bryan Robson, Peter Beardsley, Gary Lineker, Paul Parker, Tony Dorigo, Steve McMahon, David Platt, Steve Hodge, Paul Gascoigne & Trevor Steven. Oh and I guess David Seaman technically, although he pulled out late with injury.

     

    Would also like to see players from the Euro 96 squad who I havent met yet.

     

    (Seaman, Pearce, Platt, Gazza as already listed from Italia 90) Plus Gary Neville, Alan Shearer, Darren Anderton, Steve Howey, Ian Walker, Nick Barmby, Jamie Redknapp, Steve McManaman, Phil Neville, Steve Stone & Robbie Fowler

     

    Also would like to see some of the World Cup winning squad of 66, but those who haven't done the rounds already at Showmasters events, the forgotten squad meebers, or those who just don't appear. Bobby Charlton (although have read this is a near on impossibility to secure Bobby for these events), John Connelly, Ron Springett, Jimmy Armfield, Gerry Byrne & Terry Paine.

     

    Ummm Matt Le Tissier, Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen.

     

    Think thats about it, if I think of any more will let you know.

     

    Not asking too much is it?? Looooolllllll

     

    Oh, and David Beckham. Easy! hehe

     

    :) :) :)
