Name the team by the autographs: Part 1 or a random series

[Peabody]

Who are the two just under Tony Macedo?

PS: Eq, the Maestro has 'staggered' his signature, the Haynes is just below to the right...

Still can't see it. I think my mince pies are going!

I'm definitely on the verge of signing up to the Old Sod's Army now!  092.gif

Bloody hell Eq - even I can see that and I'm blinder than a bat's bum.

It is quarter to eleven in England. He probably downed his fourth ale by now.

I thought that was Bill Dodghin (that you mentioned) and the other I assumed was Brian Sullivan.

You know him so well, Mr Sipwell :beer:

Course it was Bill Dodgin CH, I have been to bed since then and it was so hot last night, I could'nt sleep. Brian Sullivan, he was the one who everyone thought was going to be the next big thing in football and then he turned his back on the game.

The signature at the very top left hand side, is that one of the Hinshelwoods?

I think the Hinshelwoods had long flown the coop by then Mr P. Is that signature not that of a former full back Barry Mealand?

[Ron Sheepskin]

What I find interesting is that you can read most of the names. If I look at the signatures I have on shirts/footballs from the last 3 or 4 years, very few of them are legible as anything other than a random squiggle.

Is this down to an increased demand for players autographs to flog on ebay? Or is it due to marketing departments chaining a player to a desk and not letting them up until they've signed 5000 frisbees? Either way it looks like the trend is for the fastest scribble possible. If you've never watched Bobby signing autographs out of his car window at the player's car park on a match day, then you should. He barely changes down from 3rd gear as he signs.

...a good point RS, here is the signature of a player in the current squad, there is a clue in that they sign their squad numbers - but without that who the hell would be able to decipher that?



Mind you - in all honesty my signature looks like a spider has dipped its legs in ink and pirroueted across the paper whilst under the influence..!

[CorkedHat]

I think I have them all now except for the one bottom left which is a Rod Someone (not Marsh or McAree), Who is it please?

[LBNo11]

...CH et al - did we ever have a player named Rod Watson, because that is what the signature look like, I have not hear of him other than there was a player named Watson who played for us 4 times..?

[The Equalizer]

There was a Trevor Watson who was with us until '64.

[LBNo11]

...yes, I have him on record, but I was trying to make out the bottom left upsided-down signature that CH couldn't read (even though he is  :down_under: ) It looks like Rod but the rest is difficult to decipher - mind you the former player named marsh changed his signature a few times, so it could be him..?

[The Equalizer]

My first instinct was Rodney Marsh - I think we have a winner there.

Do we have any idea what year this was?

[LBNo11]

...looking at the squad this would be 1963 - 1964...

[CorkedHat]

I have changed my mind. You are right - that is Rod Marsh. He was certainly around Fulham at that time
