How do you get football players to sign your shirt

Question

if i go to a football match how do i get football player to sign my shirt do i have to pay extra for them to sigh it?

Answer 1

well I was a Chelsea mascot when I was a younger and I got a signed shirt of all the players from that it was quite expensive. You cant go to their training sessions as they wont let you. Well they may sign your shirt if you in the front row near the tunnel but if you do you wont get many. Sorry

Answer 2

almost an impossible request, sorry

Answer 3

no ofcourse not. you can just get passes for the players rom or something and ask them to sign it

Answer 4

Chelsea's a tough one, because they're such a big club.

If you're extremely lucky you can get a ticket around the tunnel and you can ask them there for an autograph during training.

My best advice is to find out where they hang out during the week, and try to catch them there. Find out off the grapevine where they go for food etc, and see if they'll sign it for you.

If you see them in a restaurant, more often than not they'll sign something small, as long as you don't pester them. Then again, I heard that Ashley Cole gets annoyed when asked for autographs, and Lampard has to be in the mood as well, or he refuses.

I'm lucky. I'm a Swansea City fan. Since Swansea isn't a massive city you tend to see players around the place anyway.

Plus during training sessions before the game some of the players come over to sign shirts. They're good that way. I've also had things signed in Paco's restaurant, Starbucks, the cinema, Debenhams and Pizza Hut.

It helped with me that I was friends with the owner of Paco's restaurant. He's spanish, and is good friends with our manager, Roberto Martinez, and he introduced me to him. Roberto now recognises me, but can't pronounce my name propperly (he always says "I know it begins with a G, and it's Welsh, but I can't say it!).

London's such a big city, it's impossible to get that kind of raport.

Answer 5

i guess you got it be in front row, but i doubt that you get a player to sign a shirt that easy, because you could make money but selling it but i doubt it

Answer 6

Just give them some money.

Answer 7

any club will sell you one pre signed with a certificate of authentication, i used to have several but they are scattered everywhere in pubs all over the world.

Answer 8

I have loads of signed shirts and autographs from different clubs in England. With Chelsea I'm not sure about the ground layout. But basically if you stand close to the dugout/tunnel the players/manager will sign autographs for you. You need to be in the stand where you are able to stand by the dugout. Get in there as early as possible. Also, when players turn up in their cars, there's often a place that they park and walk past, signing autographs as they do. There'll be some barriers up and fans waiting for autographs there.

Failing that, send your shirt to the club itself, or to a certain player. E.g Frank Lampard C/O Chelsea football club

And put The club's address on it. All fan mail is passed on, and lots of things are signed and returned to you. I think it'd be safer to send a picture to be signed if you were to do this, as if it goes missing a shirt is so expensive.

Answer 9

It helps if there are some nice hoots underneath!!
