Hand signed football

Hand signed football

Post by Bes502 »

Morning all

Arsenal have been very kind and have given me a hand signed football, (with authenticity certificate) they have been the only club in the premiership who have help me!!, I am this weekend running the London Marathon for Sense (deafblind) people.

All the money raised will be given to the charity, a great collectors item or gift for someone.

Please dig deep, as I will have to on sunday to complete the marathon.

Thank you for reading this, please pass on, I hope I cn raise some extra money for a very very special charity.

Thank you

Hi normally these threads are posted in the notices section but it isn't used and i guess read too much so will leave it here for a few days.

Good luck in the marathon and your fundraising :barscarf:

Would have raised a lot more if signed by our past players who were world class and very much sought after..... :lol:

But good luck and I hope you raise loads, HighburyJD should be your first bidder I would have thought :wink:

Well I just bid £100 for it. Hopefully you get far more. I might sell it/raffle it on again for a charity close to myself.
I might bid again too.

And I know you say that in jest but isnt it the truth ? A cousin of the wife had/has a source that works for the club that I think could get me a jersey signed by the players but at this point in time I dont know that I would want it :oops: :( :(
