The autograph will be extinct in a few more years.

It's all about the selfie with a star these days.

The Mirror sent autograph requests to three star players on each team in the Premiership. Identical letters, envelope, etc, posing as season ticket holders.

70% snubbed them.

Article is here.

TL;DR important bit:

Three Everton players – Romelu Lukaku, Leighton Baines and Tim Howard – were the first to send signed photos.


Good on the Blue lids.

Daily Mirror will try and spin it negatively against Everton


"EVERTON ARE BEHIND THE TIMES..." Etc etc

The Prince of Huyton apparently won't even sign them for kids waiting outside Meltwood.

I'm never over that way tbf.

Kids. I'm sure getting an autograph from your favourite footballer would be quite a big thing for them, so to not get any response must be a bit heartbreaking

I will!

Clubs that had all three players "snubbed" is a bit questionable.

Think they need to take into account (Hull and Leicester) for example, if the stadium address was a feasible way of getting it to the desired players so shaming them like that was a bit unfair.

How ever teams where one or two signed it is good evidence that the players asked at that team received the photos and snubbed them.

Sums it up. I think it's shocking not to reply.
