how old is too old to ask a player for an autograph

[olliwarne]

i think you can't be too old to ask for an autograph.
i collect cricket (england&sussex) autographs myself and I keep asking for autographs whenever i get the chance.
so do alot of other men at hove cricket ground.
if you look up to someone and you support him or the team he plays for I see no reason why you shouldn't get his autograph.
what i don't like though is when people get their lovely shirts signed or other clothing items.
get autographs on photos or autographcards .

Oh dear more memories... Tony Grieg, Imran Khan, Geoff Arnold, Kepler Wessels, that fiery little Pakistani batsman ... name, name... forgotten! Are we the sport equivalent of train spotters?

Javed Miandad... sorry had to remember that name.

Who cares? If you want an autograph then go for it. Life would be very dull if everyone adhered to the unwritten rules.

I had to stop one signing my shirt I sponsored. Didn't want it ruined with pen and all...

Years ago, the young Miss Bracknell had some bald-headed, moustachioed bloke, who she didn't recognise, come up to her in the Club Shop, wielding a black felt tip pen, that he used to scribble (all down the sleeve of her nice new Albion shirt) the words ... Peter Ward.

Almost as bad ... the time my 4 year old nephew accidentally kicked his football over the hedge of a garden up Manchester way - and another bald-headed bloke emerged from his gate, offering to write the words Bobby Charlton all over the ball.

Nice one. Football, the world's most powerful religion, accepts no ageism
