Football memorabilia unites fans and players alike. Fans want to get as close as possible to their heroes, whilst footballers are no different when they break through into senior football and they seek out the idols - sometimes even at half-time, as Darren Ambrose reveals below - that made them want to become professional in the first place.
And that is why this season’s signed Gold and Junior Gold Membership signed shirt competitions have proved hugely popular already. Most recently, Jaïro Riedewald’s match-worn shirt from the Brighton & Hove Albion game was up for grabs, plus Members had the chance of winning signing-day shirts from Michy Batshuayi, Eberechi Eze and Jack Butland.
