Title: Aston Villa ball signed by 2011/12 squad - for sale
Post by: alan_clarke on March 06, 2012, 08:02:35 PM: Anyone interested in a signed football by this years squad for £45?

Will be at the game on Saturday so I can bring it along then. If no interest I'm just going to give it away to my boss!

It’ll be like one like of them stamps when the Queens head is upside down!

Post by: Rip Van We Go Again on March 07, 2012, 10:47:09 AM: Will anybody be that interested in it being signed by our squad?

One X looks very much like any other.

Post by: TRO on March 07, 2012, 12:07:47 PM: Can I suggest giving it a charity for raffling ?

Better than "giving it away to your boss".

I take it you didn't agree with my suggestion then? That's a shame. I'd have raffled it off at work, made one lucky child very happy indeed and raised money for acorns in the process. Instead your boss gets a freebie. Oh well.

Post by: brian green on March 11, 2012, 09:53:33 PM: It does not have Heskey's autograph. He grasped the ball firmly, chose his spot, pointed the biro with great deliberation and signed the back of his hand.
