Sinister side of football’s autograph hunting craze
66% Informative
Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City team spent Saturday night at a hotel 15 minutes walk from Portman Road and where City go, the autograph hunters follow.
Some had arrived as early as 10am , most bringing shirts, City merchandise or photos.
Many looking to profit from autographs arrive with folders full of shirt numbers which are quicker to sign at speed than the shirts themselves.
Stars spend an hour per session to sign in bulk, with Icons paying for their time upfront rather than giving them a cut of sales.
Signed Messi merchandise commands the highest prices, only rivalled by Michael Jordan .
Mohammed Salah and Jude Bellingham have so far resisted making autograph deals, although both occasionally sign for fans.
The best-known are greeted by shouts of their surname as they walk straight onto the team bus.
Guardiola is nowhere to be seen, apparently sneaking out of a side exit while the attention of the crowd was trained on the main entrance.
City’s blinkered focus on their match seemed to pay off, they thumped Ipswich 6 -0.
