Bob Wilson OBE Signed my book..:-D

As you can see I picked this book up for 99p in "The Works" Christmas sale, And No I did not send the Dust Jacket with the book. I sent the book off to Bob on the 6th Of January, Via a private address, Along with a donation for the Charity Bob and his wife started after the death of their Daughter, The book has been returned to me today sgned and dedicated along with a card from his Charity which has a small note added to it along with another autograph from The English Scottish Goalkeeper. Robert "Bob" Primrose Wilson OBE (born 30 October 1941 in Chesterfield, England) is a former Scotland international football goalkeeper and later broadcaster. As a player, Wilson is most noted for his career at Arsenal between 1963 and 1974. He made over 300 appearances for Arsenal and two appearances for Scotland, the first Englishman since 1873 to do so, having previously played for the England schoolboys under 15 team. After retiring as a player, he turned to coaching and broadcasting, presenting football programmes on television for 28 years, until 2002, and his opinion is still sought by radio and television to this day. His unusual middle name has often been a source of amusement; it stems from a Scottish tradition of giving children their mother's maiden name as a middle name. Thank you very much Bob Wilson, OBE and thanks once again to Royal Mail for the £3.64 worth of Stamps to be recycled once again, I just love sending these books out.
