OK, here's the story. As most of you know, my niece is MAD about Everton Football, but she also LOVES a couple of other players from other teams.

I sent a nice email to Arsenal asking them for a signed pic of Cesc Fabregas for her as she thinks he's the Best in the World! Anyway, they sent me a signed pic with lots of nice bits and pieces telling her about the club etc.....the picture was signed to me! I emailed the lady back and explained this and she said that she's get another one sent out as soon as the season started again, this was back in July, in September, I emailed her back, just asking nicely if we were still getting a pic, she said that they'd had a problem with the photos and she'd get one sent to me asap.....still waiting!

I emailed NEWCASTLE asking the same, but for Alan Smith, they replied telling me that if I sent them a photo of Alan and a SAE, they would get him to sign it.........I know there's a credit crunch but come on!!

I emailed Tottenham as she likes Tom Huddlestone, I got a letter this morning, a PRE-PRINTED team photo.......as if she'd want that when she's an Everton Fan, I only wanted Tom!

I emailed Everton as she ADORES Jack Rodwell, one of the young lads, I haven't even had a reply from them, even after a repeat email!

SO......NOT A VERY FRUITFUL MISSION!!!!!!

DON'T SUPPOSE ANY OF YOU HAVE RELATIVES THAT WORK AT SAID FOOTY CLUBS TO HELP??????? LOL!!!!!!

Anyway Rant over, just wanted to surprise her with something Unique for Christmas!!

The clubs make enough money you think they would send you out a pic! Hope you get some more results soon

Years ago when I was at school, one summer holiday i sent posters of my fave stars to them with a fan letter asking if they could sign them, i got back... Ian Wright, Ally McCoist, Jarvis Cocker from Pulp (plus a little note), the whole of the band Terrorvision (and a handwritten letter!), a lovely glossy signed photo of the band Shed 7, and the band Therapy signed my postcards! Oh and Chris Evans!

WOW, Annie, they sound like really great people, I wish the footballers were the same!

Ian Wright and Ally McCoist are (ok were) footballers!! But they come from an era where the fans were a priority and the wages weren't millions of pounds a year!!!

I'd email Aresnal again, they sounded the most fan friendly!!!

_________________

OMG what a load of useless b's! I agree with Yvonne, try Aresenal again, they sounded the most helpful!

I don't want to sound like I'm stalking her, she just keeps saying that they'll send it out when they get some!
