I took this photograph of Shane Warne at a Sporting Dinner at The Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square. i was the official photographer at the event. Shane was leaving shortly after his speech and i followed him out and asked if i could get one more photo of him , on his own which obviously he agreed to. I also asked him for an autograph . i then realised i hadn't come out of the main function room with my pad , so he signed the back of my business card. 

This was over 20 years ago and both the photo and the autograph were sealed in a  protective cellophane slip in pouch and forgotten about.

There are many more which i have collected and still have, all 7" by 5 " photographs in 10" by 8" mounts and all one offs. including George Best ,Sir Bobby Charlton , Sir Ian Botham , Sir Stirling Moss, 

Tony Blair, Dennis Waterman, Frank Carson, Brian Blessed, Will Carling, Denis Law and  Andrew Flintoff, Donny Osmond, Frank Bruno, Sir Henry Cooper, all with genuine personally obtained autographs. There is even one of Sir Geoff Hurst who kindly signed the mount 3 times  ( one for each goal in the 1966 World Cup Final ) . these and many more will be sold soon. I have worked as an events photographer for nearly 35 years , its been great but now is the time to sell them.
