I wrote to former Chelsea and Burnley player Jim Thomson last month and had my cards back signed together with a really nice letter from him.
Jim played 39 games for Chelsea and 297 for Burnley between 1965-1981 scoring 3 goals.

What a brilliant letter Rob, wise words from Eddie McCreadie. Great reply from a very generous man.

Brilliant that Rob a very nice letter from him and great cards too...maybe we should highlight the line where he says "it only takes 30 seconds to sign an autograph" to some of these modern day footballers who dont seem to care about fans and wont sign for people lol 🙂
