Posted this in Reddit TH but it's not hugely busy in there so thought I go straight to those likely to know...

Hello All. As a kid in the 80's I was a massive spurs fan. I had the kit, pendants, posters of Glenn Hoddle, all of that (I'm sure some of you can relate!). My dad was a PEI in the prison service and did the FA coaching modules and made friends (he is an outgoing chap) with lots of people and players. He was a good player himself. I fell away from football, largely because I was rubbish and built more for rugby.......Anyway, he managed to get me a signed football from the era and I wondered if anyone cared to guess a year? (I have no idea and can't recognise all of the sigs) I have cross referenced the signatures with merchandise available and they all look dot on to me, but I have no idea who some are. I thing there are around 13 odd signatures on it and I recognise Glenn Hoddle, Paul Allen, Ray Clemence and Gary Mabbutt. Anyone care to have a crack?
Ah, can't post links yet. Sorry about that.

Thanks!
 
Ah, got you. Thanks. It's a bit....old so...

So annoying when people sign their autograph and its totally illegible. I've got a few signed menus from Player of the Year dinners we used to have in the 80s/90s and I can't work out most of them, and I was the one that collected them!!!
 
Great stuff. So far I reckon I can identify;
Glenn Hoddle
Ray Clements
Gary Mabbutt
Paul Allen
Gary Stevens
Mitchell Thomas
John Paulston
Chris Hughton
Leaving 4 unidentified.

I use to have a few menus from the Anglo-American sporting club dinner and dances.My neighbour( who was in the rag trade) gave them to me.Likewise, I couldn't make out most of the signatures. Two I could, were Bobby Charlton and "King Pele" as he signed himself(I presume its THAT Pele).Gutted I don't know where they are anymore. Likewise with a lot of my programmes

4?

1986 -7 squad would be if I am correct, and the remaining 3 are

Paul Miller ( 2nd pic right - next to Hughton )
Tony Parks (top one last pic)
Waddle ( top one first pic)
That's all 11 isn't it?
