Like that a lot wouldn't worry about the graph being neat I have a few from some of the Chelsea players in their 80s and they have tidy graphs I think as Daz says they were better educated in the art of hand writing in the good old days.:)

Good to see the book again, Richard. I wouldn't be worried about the neatness of the sig. As has been said, the older generation often have lovely writing.

Lovely addition the book. As others have said, the ladies and gents of a different generation past had better standards of handwriting. As long as the elderly signers do not develop the shakes, they retain the most beautiful handwriting in many cases.
