Sent Sunderland programme, two index cards and one pic to Joe Bolton on 3/11 received back 31/12 all signed. He signed the middle page SIX times, one on each of the photos. He also inclosed a page and a half letter which was a nice touch and gave a little insite into his memory of the 1973 FA Cup run. He sat on the bench in the final and in the second paragraph he remembers "wearing Dick Malones top coat (cromby), with Bobby Kerrs false teeth in one pocket and Billy Hughes teeth in the other" Fantastic!!
Great man and many thanks to Joe for a great reply.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT MAN AND RESULT. SIGNING THE PROGRAMME 6 TIMES AND HIS LETTER IS A TRUELY NICE READ TO A GENUINE FAN. NICE OF HIM TO SAY ABOUT MISTAKES AND HANDWRITING AND IF HE CAN EVER HELP AGAIN, NOW THAT IS A LEGEND WHO GENUINELY APPRECIATES HIS FANS, LOVE YOUR RESULT..

That's a wonderful reply - I love seeing responses where the signer has clearly enjoyed the request. These are the replies that make the hobby special, not thrusting an eBay bound picture over a card door for an ex-Beatle.

That's what this hobby is all about, Joe getting just as much enjoyment from your request as you have done from his reply. Pleased for you. Top reply mate.
