I have been lucky enough to have been doing a little wheeling and dealing on ebay recently buying and selling some Northampton bits. With a lot of influence of this board I bid for and won an autograph book with nine former Manchester United signatures in. They are George Best, Ian Ure, John Aston, Pat Crerand ( twice, which is ironic as I still want him to sign my book) Steve James, Brian Kidd, Tony Dunne, Nobby Stiles and Shay Brennan. There is also a scribble which I presume was where somebody tried the pen out to see if it worked ok, I can't believe it is actually a signature.

Now this is also where your influence comes into it. As I have seven of the European Cup final I would like very much to get Alex Stepney, Bill Foulkes,David Saddler (yes Paul Knock knock :-D) Bobby Charlton and Jimmy Rimmer to also sign the book in biro. Now I know I am asking a lot here but I would be very, very grateful if I could get any help with addresses which I wouldn't tell a soul about. I thought I could write to them first to see if I could send the book on special delivery and everything for them to do the same with returning it.
Over to you, Like I said, I would be very grateful.
Ralph.

#10, Alan, I had no idea Jimmy Rimmer lived in Australia so I must thank you for giving me the heads up on the memorabilia show at the NEC. Cheers mate.

Great purchase Ralph,some great signatures on there.
Jimmy Rimmer currently lives in Canada so you'll need to get him at the memorabilia show
15-10-2010 10:36 PM
Ah, Canada. Makes the NEC a must Rob. Thanks.

It just gets better, I just visited the event site to find out that David Sadler, Alex Stepney, Paddy Cerrand, John Aston, Tony Dunn, John Fitzpatrick and Jimmy Rimmer will be there on the sunday so I can get four more for the autograph book leaving only Bobby Charlton and Bill Foulkes for the 68 team and Paddy Crerand can hopefully sign my Northampton book. I love this place.
