One purchase I had not got round to posting, plus framed a couple of bits.
Picked up this massive signed 12x16 inch photo of Dave Bassett from his Wimbledon days for 99p plus £1.75 postage from one of the EPS sellers over Christmas. Dave gets a lot of flack from many Watford supporters, but I always liked him, and felt he was never given a chance by both players and some members of the club staff when he took over from GT after GT's main golden era. I already have a Watford card signed by him, but liked this pic.
Also framed a couple of bits - the Dietmar Hamann Doig print from Christmas, and our 2009 reply from Rik Mayall (a favourite for both Kelly and I).

nice pick up Nigel, I'm always put off purchasing photos that big as I just wouldn't know what to do with them (don't have room on the walls)
Nice frame jobs too, love the Rik Mayall piece

Nice Rik Mayall framed pieces too.

#2 - Greg. I am also put off buying pics that size, and in this case forgot to check, just assumed it was an 8x10. 🙂 I have some large signed items already stored flat in large envelopes and a box, so have added it to those for now.
#3 - Alex. I am pleased with the Hamann Doig signed by both, and think it looks great framed - much better than in a poster tube. 🙂

Great items. Also liked Dave Bassett. Always, and still does, spoke his mind. Was a great manager, in my opinion. Well done.

pmsl...... I love that Rik Mayal frame mate. Brilliant:)
Alex and i met Dave bassett in Preston, and he sat at my table for the dinner. He was a really nice chap to chat to from what i remember. ~Too many drinks that night ~lol:) There was him , Peter bonnetti and a very very drunk John Bailey:) Who i'm afraid was very loud and rude and did not make the pudding course lol:)
Great work you done there mate, well done:)

Dave Bassett was in an almost impossible position after what GT did for Watford and it's a pity he didn't get the chance he deserved. I really like the framed pieces especially Rik Mayall.
