Following on from my topics last week showcasing my England Rugby and Star Wars collections, I wanted to start a thread for my England football collection. This is where I started collecting back in 1999 and after gathering around 200 I decided I didn't like my original design so came up with these - which is now consistent across the football, rugby and eventually cricket teams.
Thanks for all the kind words on the previous threads - hope I can help people in any way with addresses for any of these ;
Adam Lallana
Alan Devonshire
Alan Shearer ( wrong paper to replace eventually )
Alan Smith
Alan Thompson
Alvin Martin ( Wrong paper - to be replaced eventually )
Bryan Robson
Chris Powell ( card damaged in transit - to replace eventually )
Chris Woods
Clive Allen
Colin Cooper
Darius Vassell ( wrong paper )
David James
David Nugent ( wrong paper )
Dennis Wise
Eric Gates
Francis Jeffers
Gary Neville ( wrong paper )
Gordon Banks
Jimmy Armfield
Joey Barton
John Barnes
John Gregory
Kenny Sansom
Kevin Davies ( wrong paper )
Michael Gray
Mick Channon
Mike Phelan ( wrong paper )
Nicky Butt
Nicky Shorey
Nigel Martyn
Paul Konchesky
Paul Mariner
Paul Scholes
Peter Reid
Phil Jagielka
Ray Wilkins
Scott Carson
Steve Bould
Steve Stone ( wrong paper )
Stuart Pearce ( manager )
Stuart Pearce ( player )
Sven Goran Eriksson ( manager )
Terry Butcher
Terry McDermott ( wrong paper )
Tim Flowers
Tim Sherwood ( wrong paper )
Tom Finney ( wrong pen - but legend anyway )
Tom Huddlestone
Ugo Ehiogu
Viv Anderson
So that's the collection so far, I have about another 20 or so that have been signed with different pens to the blue Sharpie that I send, which is awesome - but OCD prevents me from putting them in the completed file
I have loads of addresses to keep sending and will continue posting as I can acquire stamps and Sharpies
Any help with addresses for the Boys of 66 most gratefully received - that's the biggest glaring omission from my collection currently, only Bansky as a positive so far
As before - sorry for the number of scans
Thanks

Stunning collection, Mal.
You cards are really impressive and having them signed in blue looks good. I can understand the need to have them all the same.

SInce being on this board my enthusiasm for TTM requests has been rekindled - 8 requests out this last week .... and here's the first one back and in my opinion in the centre piece of my England collection
I found the address on Fanmail.biz but had it confirmed by one of the very helpful members on here
Collection #52 ..... Sir Geoff Hurst

Well done to you Mal a great reply I hope we see the other seven very soon .

Not sure whether to count this as a success or not ?
Chris Kirkland - looks perfect when I got it out of the envelope
Until I realised he'd signed the toploader and not the card !!!

that's unlucky Mal, I'd still class it as a success (you could always keep it in the toploader) but I'd also be inclined to write to him again explaining what happened
23-12-2014 10:12 AM
Definitely try again with Chris but great reply from Geoff Hurst, another fine looking collection.

well done with the 2 new additions
23-12-2014 11:03 PM
This is daft - never had anyone sign the toploader before ... then two in two days
Tony Currie
The even dafter thing - one via Sheff Wed ( yesterday ) today via Sheff Utd
