I remember being at Maine Rd with my grandad in the late 80s early 90s, and we use to walk up the the railings/crowd barriers and he would shout over at players who would normally run over to sign my autograph book. I would have been 8-12 year old and thought it was great. I also remember waiting for bloody ages after the match at the players exit, and same again, meeting the players and signing autographs.
My little lads 6 and we go each week but never had an apportunity to get an autograp or really meet the players away from the crowd. I’ve certainly never seen a player come over to sign an autograph in years and years at the side of the pitch. I appreciate it is a different game and atmosphere around football now but has anyone ever seen anyone get autographs or where is the best place to stand or go. We don’t mind waiting after a match either, but can you actually get an autograph or two?
Cheers
