The Sharpshooter Fund signed shirt presentation

[RobTheRover]

We've just had the presentation of the signed shirt to the lucky contributor chosen from those who chipped in to the Sharpshooters Fund.  Actually, as the winner was Oslorovers, and he had to go back to Oslo, his Dad, John, stepped in.

Here is a photo of Billy preparing to hand the shirt to John...

Edit : oops, looks like the photo never transferred from my phone.  I'll relink it tomorrow

A photo of the actual presentation will follow in the coming days.

John told me that today was the first time he had been on the pitch at the Rovers, and those in the ground when the presentation took place will no doubt have noticed he made the most of it, dancing a little jig and showing the shirt to all 4 stands.  He certainly was very proud.

Many thanks once again to all who contributed to the fund, and thanks to Billy Sharp and Steve Uttley for the presentation.
