Iv been to blackpool this weekend to watch the rallying and whilst there i thought id give mr jimmy armfield a knock and see if he would mind me asking for a signature. I knocked on the door and his mrs answered and asked me in... i declined cos i didnt wanna trail a mess in the house...mr armfield then appeared around the corner with a big smile and shook my hand and asked how i was and where id come from i said wakefield... he then said he'd just read about the cathedral wakefield in the paper and asked who i supported and seemed pleased when i said my home town club rotherham. I asked if he would mind signing his book and a photo of him and di stefano (already signed by alfredo) he said he'd love to. He was suprised to see it signed by mr stefano already and said wat a super player..... he then joked that will be worth something....typical yorkshireman looking after the pennys to me lol made me chuckle.... told him i would be treasureing the photo and he seemed chuffed.....he patted me on the shoulder and shook my hand and thnaked me for visiting. WHAT A LEGEND and heres my items 🙂
