One Purchase and an ex Newcastle reply.

I wrote to former Newcastle and Middlesborough player John Craggs at a private address on 13th September and received my cards back signed today.

John Craggs spent all of his playing career in the North East.He played over 100 times for Middlesbrough F.C. but also had spells at Newcastle United F.C. and Darlington F.C. before taking up a coaching role at Hartlepool F.C. Middlesbrough paid a then club record £60000 fee to bring John Craggs to Teeside in 1971. After a testimonial match against Newcastle United F.C. in the summer of 1982 John left Middlesbrough to re-join his former club before ending his playing days at Darlington F.C

My purchase was the following 3 Everton signed cards for £10 which included Alan Ball.

Does anyone know if Colin Harvey is still scouting for Bolton or any contact details for him or Howard Kendall as I've got a few other cards of them I'd like to get signed?
