My Longest gap betwwen request and than a reply turned up today..had to do a bit of digging before finding out when this one went out....I wrote a good few  retired Athlete's Sharon, Steve Backley, Roger Black, Chris Akabussi, Geoff Capes amongst others with this one going out on the 26th of October 2009....I remember it as if was yesterday :^O...this was from the day when I used to send out a couple of index cards to be signed......................These were not returned I'm afraid but Sharon was kind enough to send a couple of signed promo cards...When I say a couple I really mean 10  yes TEN, 7 of the same with one signed in silver and the other 6 signed in Black....A B/W photo signed in Blur biro...just visible, another B/W card signed in Blur Biro and a nice recent colour photo signed in Black. Very unexpected result today....Lynsie De Paul once sent me half a dozen signed pic's but I've never had so many returned before...I wouldn't dream of sending so many....Maybe a litle bit of guilt with the lenght of the reply...Who knows...But I ain't complaining.

I think the phrase: 'worth waiting for' is very apt on this occasion!  Great, if late, reply!

excellent those Alex good of her to send so many extra's but guess its a "sorry for the wait" gesture, very nice anyway 🙂

#5 not sure about that Suarez is class at diving even gets the arms up in the air effect and the moaning face right 😉

Those long forgotten requests that come back out of the blue are the best surprises in this hobby, and what a brilliant reply! That's a remarkable response from her. Congrats Alex.
