Managed to get a football signed by Minnesota Vikings players Jared Allen and Kevin Williams last night, absolutely over the moon!

Living in the UK it is very rare get to meet my heroes from the NFL, but there was a special event featuring Jared Allen, Kevin Williams, Donte Whitner, Ramon Foster and Uche Nwaneri to help promote the game in England.

I was lucky enough to bag one of only about 200 free tickets and attended what was an amazing evening.

Unfortunately the players had to rush off for a flight so didn't stop for autographs, but I was near the front and luckily managed to shout Jared and Kevin as they walked off and they both walked over to sign for me. Both were really nice guys and Jared was especially funny.

It was a shame I couldn't get the other guys autographs - especially Donte - but I tweeted Uche and he said sorry they got rushed off stage quickly.

I was really luck to just get Jared and Kevin in the end, and it was awesome to get one of best Defensive Duo's in the NFL on one ball.
