Have met various Somerset players at matches, and have the whole NZ team signitures when they played somerset. Had a chat with McCullum, although he refused to give me his keeping gloves! That was when he was with GM.

Went up to Taunton the other day and saw Jos Buttler and Nick Compton in the car park. Then went to Pizza hut in Taunton where Charl Willoughby was having pizza with his wife and kid.

Haha, didn't see him at first. Then this kid ran past our table and when his mum told him off I heard the SA accent. Looked over and saw it was him, didn't feel it was right to interrupt his lunch to ask for an autograph.

When Eng were out in the Caribbean, my cousin went out to watch a few games, ended up in the same afterparty as the whole squad. He's got hundreds of pics of him and the squad, and a shirt signed by 15 or so pissed England players!

Met Shane Warne a few years back when he was playing for Hampshire, signed my Aussie 99 EC shirt which is now framed on my wall. Pride and joy!

Also met Saj Mahmood out in Didsbury, Manchester and I can honestly say he was a total t*sser.

Just wondering how people have got free kit off pros? Do you just talk for ages and if they're nice enough they'll give you kit? Or do you ask?
Just wondering on this one? 8)
