As a 14 year old, I went through a period of turning up at Boundary Park at 1:30 on a matchday and getting players autographs. One day in the 1991/92 season, a mate brought a camera with him and I got my picture taken with every player. That summer, I did work experience in the photography department of the Police HQ and they allowed me to develop the pictures in a very large size.
I wandered down to Boundary Park in the July of 1992 when the players were back in training, armed with these super-large pictures. At the end of training, I approached Milligan to get the picture of he and I signed. He saw the other pictures and asked if I wanted them all signed. Well, that's what I was there for. He took them all off me, told me to hang around and 20 minutes later, came out with every one signed. He was a top guy and he became even more of a hero of mine after that day.
