Gary Lineker

 

Where did you get Gary's autograph? He's the sports guest I would like to meet the most.

I've got quite a few but my prize piece is a set of signatures of the Liverpool team from around the early 1950s which I have on a permanent loan type arrangement from my Dad. The set includes the likes of Bob Paisley, Albert Stubbins and Billy Liddell.

 

My other favourate item is a replica 1965 FA Cup Final shirt signed by Roger Hunt, Gerry Byrne, Ron Yeats, Tommy Smith, Peter Thompson and Ian Callaghan. There seem to be two styles of replica 65 Cup Final shirts out there, TOFFS made some some years ago then Liverpool started making their own ones which I don't think look as good. Luckily mine was one of the TOFFS one which must have looked pretty good because Peter Thompson thought it was the real thing!

I have many and varied ones - a lot dating back to the 80s. They tend on the whole to be football or cricketing ones, mostly in books, but I have picked up a few from events in the past few years as well.

My favourite? Bobby Moore in my autograph book. Such a shame I'll never be able to get him on my World Cup photo

Gary Lineker

Apologies for the delay in replying so hope you see this. I actually got Gary's autograph through the mail, writing to him many years back via the BBC.

 

One further item that I didn't mention is a signed Liverpool FC football I have, which was given to me by my Grandpa, so very precious for that reason alone. I'm not sure of the date but probably late 1970's, early 1980's so has players like Kenny Dalglish on it and others from that generation. I've never actually been able to make that many of them out.
