When I first started collecting autographs properly about 2 and a half years ago, before the designing of the photocards, I used to send out Match Attax cards to clubs for signings. During the 2008-09 season, I sent out cards to Jonathan Woodgate and David Bentley via White Hart Lane. Being a novice at the time, I had no idea that sometimes secretaries forged the signature of lazy footballers who couldn't be bothered to sign the autographs themselves.
I stopped sending the Match Attax at the end of the 08-09 season but at different points I received these back. I know that both Bentley and Woodgate sent out secretarial autographs to items sent in at some point. I was wondering whether anyone could tell me if they think these are secs or genuine. I am fearing the worst but if anyone could give me an insight one way or the other I would be grateful.
Thanks
Matt

Thanks Matt. I had my suspicions but good to have them confirmed.
