Feel like a right detective at this point. Line 2, next to Warren Barton, has to be Ian Rush right? He was August 97-May 98, so I think Robbie Elliott is officially done for.

He signed in Jan 1998, which would rule out Robbie Elliott. Signature below. It looks very similar, but just for the surname. Probably sacked off his first name due to size constraints and just went with AGriffin? I also just realized Gary Speed didn't sign until Feb 1998, so I think I'm ready to rule out Elliott.

I think you might be right. It's more convincing than the Elliott one. Pistone arrived the same month Elliott left, but I can't find any specific dates. Pistone's signature according to Google:

Updated pic... timing wise we're looking EARLY 1997 season if that one on Line 4 is actually Robbie Elliott. I dm'ed Bjarni Guðjónsson on Insta to see if one of these is his

Thank you! Currently MS Painting these names over the top and will post it again. But I'm still fairly convinced the bottom one next to Rob Lee is Gary Speed (upside down), not Georgiadis. Robbie Elliott and Georgiadis didn't play for us at the same time also fwiw.

I do not. Was trying to identify a Gullit/Dalglish autograph to assist... but failed. That'd be bangin. It's obviously not the end of the world if I can't get a few, given the names identified so far are mostly that of our better players. Will gather together everyone's input momentarily... Also I can photograph in more detail if that'd be helpful. But for the most part I think some of them are just shitty autographs given it was probably annoying to sign this thing.

Gentle(wo)men, I have had this signed NUFC shirt for over 20 years and only just mustered the effort to put it in a frame (albeit a cheapy Chinese Amazon affair). ($500+ quote to get a framing company to do it!!). Anyway, I figured I'd print something off that lists all the autographs / the year of the shirt, and stash it inside. Or maybe make it look fancy and slap it on the front/underneath. One minor caveat: I'm not sure I recognise anyone's autographs other than Shearer and "STEVE HOWEY"*, so here's where you come in... I rotated it on it's side to make it easier to reference. Hoping that someone / many folk can help. So far: Line 1: ?? Line 2: ?? Line 3: Shearer, ??, Ketsbaia? Line 4: ??, ??, Shay Given, Phillipe Albert? Line 5: STEVE HOWEY Line 6: Gary Speed, Rob Lee Many Thanks, SEMTEX *started googling some players and worked a few more out, then got very stuck. Not convinced they're all (or any of them ) are actual signatures

Position of the goalkeeper on this is quite impressive. Ignoring the question of whether he needed to rush out, for now.. Richarlison puts it to the left side of the keeper… and yet it still nestles in the bottom right corner of the goal

I decided to take a wee break because I was finding that NO was no longer a positive influence, mostly due to certain UNSAVOURY characters. Which, in conjunction with the stresses of new child #2, was making me a rather morose motherfucker. But more importantly, I don’t know anything about Dan Burn, but we should definitely sign him. Anything to reduce the chance of Mike’s Captain Jamaal from wearing the shirt again.

Pretty great name on him. Must buy imo.

To make money

They're speed holes. They make the players go faster.

Aye there's no way I'd be giving up my number while sitting in the reserves. Fuck that. They can always take it off him if they care that much.

I mean, I'm not one to defend the crooked nosed blancmange but we have literally no idea about fitness levels / injuries of players at this point in the season. I'm sure Clark and and Kraft aren't going to be his first choices long term.

aye thats fine. Donkeys are canny.

cos he's a bellend

why no lascalles? Always pleased to see that bellend dropped.

fucking maggies cunt

Aye my assumption is that no-one really needed his position that much. But obviously far too lazy to look at squads and evaluate that nonsense.

Couldn't be arsed to work out how to change to pounds, but.... All big fees with certain types of risks imo.

I mean, 25m isn't a wild fee these days and I think plenty of clubs gamble that kind of money. Basically anyone other than the top 6 I could see potentially being interested. Everton Villa Leeds West Ham. Plenty of teams that would take 25m punts on promising players imo.

If he's not another Kenedy, aye. I'm a little lost as to why no-one is competing with us here tbh.

We're not competing for anything, what the fuck does it matter if he plays for someone else? Would've been fun/interesting.
