Sat 10Aug13 - 1 Awesome Reply & 1 Expected Failure

[thehornets]

Starting with the failure which was expected having seen others get the same.

Dougray Scott - 59 days

My pics returned unsigned with a blah blah too busy blah blah note and a crappy preprint. Here's the preprint for reference -

but now my success -

George Reilly - 30 days

One of my three most wanted Watford autographs. Did a bit of digging and found a private address for George. For obvious reasons (if you know the building site story) I was not sure if he would be too happy with me writing to him at home. I was delighted and thrilled by his fabulous reply.

George kindly signed my 8x5 inch Watford card - what a beautiful signature! He also signed my 1984 cup final replica shirt. These are quite sought after. He also sent me a fabulous letter and included an old page from Shoot with his picture plus one of the flyers for his business. I will be writing back to thank him. Over the moon with this reply, and it made my day. My best reply for a long time.

Shame about your Dougray Scott reply Nigel but your George Reilly reply more than makes up for it  , that is a brilliant reply it's always very pleasing when you finaly track down a player you have been looking after for a while very well done to  you . Will you be adding to your shirt ?

I have just read the building site story .

Bad luck with Dougray and well done getting George-wonder if he'd like to hear from a Plymouth supporter (no pun intended!)
Great replies Nigel.

Just goes to show the difference in some people ,one cant take 10 seconds to sign their name and the other can sign everything you send them and write You back a letter.

That more than makes up for the failure Nigel. Love the graph and the shirt. Nice when research pays off.

Brilliant.

That's a fantastic reply from George Reilly, Nigel. The signed items look great and the letter is a lovely bonus.

Shame about the Scott PP. The reply from George is fantastic - really glad you managed to track him down Nigel. The shirt looks the goods too. Will the shirt go out again?
