Not particularly impressive, but I guess mine would be Craig Bellamy, from my time working at MCFC as a student. Tis a nice piece of marketing artwork, with a "motivational" statement that I can get behind.

Mine would be the great Sir Garry Sobers, from 1966 when he was captain of the West Indies touring team and just plain Garry, the best all-rounder ever to grace a cricket field.
I can't claim to have collected the autograph myself, however. When I was at college I was given (I won't bore you with how this came about) a small red autograph book which A.R. (Tony) Lewis (Glamorgan and England) had taken round the country with him in 1966 and 1967. A number of counties are represented, but the best bit is the double page devoted to the West Indies team, and Garry Sobers is the most notable name there.
On a different note, I have a great Town autograph memory. My son (aged 8 at the time) and I went to watch Town play at Fulham in the F.A. Cup in January 1996. My son loved to get his heroes' autographs but liked me to do the asking. The team bus arrived by the main stand at Craven Cottage and we spotted Kevin Seabury. I asked him if he would sign the match programme, reached into my pocket for a pen and found...nothing. " Don't worry," said Kevin and disappeared into the Fulham shop, reappearing after a few moments with a borrowed pen, with which he signed his autograph and said that he hoped we would enjoy the game.
What a nice man! A real local hero who played in virtually every outfield position during his time with Town.

Bobby Moore. He was visiting his father in the London Hospital in about 1971-2. I was a medical student there. His wife Tina was with him.
