It's not a photoshop..

Got my lads shirt signed by RICH LANE!!! at the Bears training session (they had a few pitches set up and the players swapped in/out of touch games with the supporters and did photos/signings while on the side) in Bristol today. It did get some some comments from other players afterwards! :D

Even more amazing. What did he say when you requested he sign it in that specific way?
That sounds like a pretty cool event.

He was as calm, collected and as graceful as he is a spiral bomb!*

It was pretty good, the kids seemed to love it!

The TNT sports people were there filming it and my lads got interviewed about it. If there is a short interview with 5 boys (not all mine), one of them in a blue coat (he's actually holding the RICH LANE!!! shirt) could someone record it and share it please?

They may not have made the cut as my lads friend was interviewed and asked:
"Who's your favourite player?"

He paused for a moment thinking and replied

"I don't really know their names" :D

No idea...

Bristol seemed to make harder work of that than necessary! From the radio (radio Bristol) BJVR and VV the best players on the pitch.

This is outstanding work. I want to tell people about it, but unless you’re on this site, it would just sound weird! Greta stuff
