I get them in my autograph book first and then if ive got a photo or poster of the player I try and get that signed too.

Some player like Rio Ferdinand dont sign photos though he does always sign people autograph books. Im guessing its in case theres someone there who will just flog it on ebay or summat.

when you ask them to sign, do you provide photos, or just a piece of paper/notebook/index cards?

yeah most of them are really nice and fan friendly but theres some who are for lack of better words arseholes.
At most it takes the players 10 minutes to sign autographs for everybody waiting but you get some cocks like Thierry Henry for example who sit on the coach for 40 minutes instead of signing autographs which pisses me off because theres some players just as good as him such as Lampard and Terry who always sign autographs.

Well done. I would love to meet some footballers!
