My kids talked me into waiting back after the game with them to get some player autographs and selfies.
It was quite good actually, seeing the ground empty and people start to wind down after the game, stewards and the like.
We did ok and got Jones, Glover and a few others in the massively overpriced Boro autograph books - good on them for coming out and spending time in the rain with the kids and bigger kids like me.
I was talking to my wife tho and in all the years we had season tickets (for 13 years, Robbo era onwards) we never once stayed after the match to hang around. We had full on legends of the game, Juno, Barmby, Merson, Rav, Viduka, Boksic, Schwarzer etc. and never once did anything apart from leg it to the car/pub bang on the final whistle. We can't think of any friends who ever stayed behind either.
Was it a thing back in the day to get autographs or to hang around to see the players and did we miss out?
