I was also on the Fortune one,but there is a lot of signed bits from him,after looking,I ruled him out too...I was even lookin for a Tony or someone beginning with R...Talal said:The one to right of Mesh is J. Something, looking through the squad we had 3 J's, Robinson, Fortune and Barnes so leaning towards Fortune.
it’s a good mystery tho,isn’t it...!!!
even got to the point,I’ve been trying to find Richard Murray’s,but 100% sure someone on here would have known,if it was...👍1 -
Staff member perhaps? Jimmy Hendry was physio at the time wasn't he though I'm not sure he'd be signing shirts!NorthheathAddick said:

Who was the chubby pie-throwing physio? I'd love to think that he signed a few shirts.Talal said:

Here's the story so far, can we get the others?
The only one I've not put on yet out of those suggested is Deal Keily. I looked online and there are several they all seem to have a very large D with the e inside it, looking like a hurriedly drawn Easter egg. @ElfsborgAddick, can I ask did you mean the one in the bottom right corner, and how certain are you?

Nicking from the other photo there's Pringle and Tiler above Hunt.
To left of Konchesky mght be Mark Bowen.
Under PLC what about Danny Shittu?0 -
Sorry Stig, whose signature and where?Stig said:Here's the story so far, can we get the others?

Since my post a few others have corrected my thoughts.
I'll then have another stab.0 -
Thanks to some super sleuth work from @ElfsborgAddick and his own collection, we've now got most of them on @Talal's shirt. Just a handful to get now.
I haven't put the Danny Sittu suggestion on here yet as I wasn't sure. It does look like it could read that but there are several examples online that are all very well defined, identical to each other and different to this. At first I rejected the idea because of the differences, but the more I looked the more I could see some similarities. Could it be that what Talal has is an early prototype Shittu signature? What do others think? Elfs?

Under plc
Scott Snake Parker0 -
Above the Charlton Badge I thought at first glance was Steve Gritt but I dont think he was around at the time, so the only one that fits in would be
Stuart Balmer ?0 -
Above Sasa looks like Kevin something
So Kevin Lisbie maybe0 -

Above Deano also looks like it begins with a K, so looking at that timeframe with the other players
Kevin Nicholls
Kevin James
But I dont really think it looks like either0 -
Above Kinsella, its very small writting but looks a little like
Keith Jones?1 -
Above Robinson, its probably not as I don't see why he would nake the K so prominent, but the first name looks like it start with a J
John Salako?0 -

Hopefully @cafc999 can help.1 -
Premiership graphs are not really my speciality but I am pretty confident it is not Shittu.
Above the badge looks like Steve Jones and above Johnny Robinson looks like a rushed Jesper Blomqvist, not 100% but the J looks bang on his.
A good early example of a Mark Kinsella autgraph there where you can make out every letter.0 -
I think think the one above Robinson is John Barnes,it’s so similar to the Home shirt...just think the marker didn’t catch the whole shirt as he was signing...1

Could be. I have a Blomqvist that looks similar to that though albeit a very rushed one . But I also have Barnes that is similar.NorthheathAddick said:I think think the one above Robinson is John Barnes,it’s so similar to the Home shirt...just think the marker didn’t catch the whole shirt as he was signing...

Looking at both of their signatures on ebay I'd say it's almost certainly Barnes.

Defo agree that Blomqvist does look very similar too...(1st time I have looked at his to be honest) the plot thickens...cafc999 said:

Comparing an official card to a rushed graph on a shirt is not a great comparison. Some of those man utd cards were either pre printed, auto penned or stamped. I am probably leaning towards Barnes after having another look. I will try and find my jesper to show how awkward authenticating signatures can be.Talal said:Looking at both of their signatures on ebay I'd say it's almost certainly Barnes.1 -
Just a quick Google image search shows how many different variations Jesper has.
0 -
All of the Blomqvist ones have a loop for the top of the 'J' whereas Barnes is much straighter, leading me to think it's likely to be his.0

Definitely Barnes' after seeing that card.Talal said:All of the Blomqvist ones have a loop for the top of the 'J' whereas Barnes is much straighter, leading me to think it's likely to be his.0 -
Look at the end of Jespers for variations.
As I said, leaning towards Barnes as that era not my speciality
I will try and sort out some other player example variations later including a John Terry that looks like the letter O.0 -
Assuming it is Barnes', I've taken close ups of the remaining seven. To the left of Mesh looks like Kevin James and Kevin Nicholls. Above the 'S' of Mesh looks like 'Mike' so maybe Salmon?
Steve Jones seems most likely for above the badge.

Keith Jones would be better than Kevin James!
Scott Parker's looks quite a bit different on a Google search though.

The reason I said Parker was he fits the time frameTalal said:Keith Jones would be better than Kevin James!
Scott Parker's looks quite a bit different on a Google search though.
Also it would have been a very early signature and he may have changed it as the years went on
But to me its clear therecis an S 2 T'S a P and a squiggle after the P0 -
Could well be but to me it looks more sophisticated than his current one which would be a bit odd.paulie8290 said:
