A Load of Squit 5,066 Posted April 8, 2018 Nice story My Uncle took his 13/14 year old grand daughter to the away supporters party and the queues to meet the players were so long that the players had left before they got to the front to get her shirt signed by her heroes.Looking for a seat to sit the tearful girl down to recover from her disappointment, the only 2 chairs free were with "4 blokes in black shirts" who turned out to be Ed Wootten, Edmund Riemer, Christian Fluthmann and Chris Domogalla who were happy to let them sit down. My uncle, who''s first game was in 1959, was obviously wholly uninterested in meeting the players but mildly berated Farke''s backroom staff on behalf of his Grand Daughter about the players leaving.Ed Wootten, supported by the other 3, suggested that she attend training today, have breakfast with the squad and then take all the pictures and get as many shirt signatures as she required. My Uncle chose to play golf instead (!), but she went along with her Mum and younger sister and had the "best day of her life"That''s pretty cool isn''t it? Although my uncle can be a pain in the arse so they probably just gave in to him "gorn on" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
