Like that a lot wouldn't worry about the graph being neat I have a few from some of the Chelsea players in their 80s and they have tidy graphs I think as Daz says they were better educated in the art of hand writing in the good old days.:)

Good to see the book again, Richard. I wouldn't be worried about the neatness of the sig. As has been said, the older generation often have lovely writing.

Re: THE BOOKS BACK

Lovely addition the book. As others have said, the ladies and gents of a different generation past had better standards of handwriting. As long as the elderly signers do not develop the shakes, they retain the most beautiful handwriting in many cases.
