Anyone wrote to football club for signed letter of congratulations for Grooms wedding present?

I got a certificate from Liverpool FC last year to give to H2B, they didn't respond to my email but I got the certificate in the post a week later.

My problem now is that I was too organised and half the players signatures on the certificate don't play for the club anymore!!!

I might try again!

I got one from Man United - its not 'really' signed but Alex Ferguson is my others halves idol so he'll be delighted!

Just need an A4 frame for it now - i got a certificate frame but it wasnt the right size.

Mine came back on 3 weeks I think so fingers crossed!

Ooo I wonder if I could try this with the England rugby side? its the world cup around the same time as we get married and my OH is a HUGE fan

Hey - this sounds a good idea. What sort of thing did you write in your letter, if you can please advise...?

xx

If you don't ask you don't get!

Oh my h2b is a massive Liverpool fan! what did you write in the email? I wouldn't know where to start!

Haha Mrs C!! Yes maybe try again! But I'm sure your partner will still love it regardless. I'll keep my fingers crossed!! xx

I am hoping that you can help me.

My fiancé and I are getting married on the xxx 2011. My future husband xxx is a massive Liverpool fan & I would love to surprise him during the speeches at our reception with a message from the team. Is this something that could be arranged?

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this, if it is at all possible. If you need any more information, please do not hesitate to contact me on xxx or by return email.

If you are able to oblige, my address is: xxx

Kindest Regards, xxx

I wrote to West Ham and they have sent a letter to Mr and Mrs NewName - which i will give him at the reception - havent read it yet! x

I emailed them first and they told me to send a letter to their donations dept. x

I don't know what everyone else did, but I wrote something like;

"Dear Chelsea FC,

I'm marrying my partner Nathan on 26 March this year and I was wondering if there was any possibility that you would please send me a signed letter/card that I could give to him as a wedding present?

I understand you must get hundreds of these requests but I thought it was worth a try. Nathan is a HUGE fan and has even flown to Denmark this morning to watch the match. It would really make his day!!!

Our address should this be possible;

(address)

Many thanks for considering this request!"

No reply yet but keeping fingers and toes crossed! I sent this to their general enquiries email x

Oh no I didnt give them my new surname! Damn it!! Hopefully they will just put our first name instead or email me back aksing what it is!! x

LOL D'oh!

I told them that he is such a massive fan he has even converted me from not supporting anyone to knowing all the words to i'm forever blowing bubbles.

And i also asked them to send him a letter congratulating him on finding such a fabulous wife hahaha i literally wrote that in there....god knows what they've put in the letter!!! lol x

Have you not read the letter?! Ahh I cant believe I didnt put the surname in, I am officially stupid...I might send exactly the same email again with the surname added in, then I might get two letters!! x

This is brilliant! Why didn't I think of doing this. My OH is wearing his team's strip on our cake topper and he even added one of their footballs to our wedding list (which someone has bought - I'm a bit miffed as I wanted all the lovely Nigella Lawson cookware!!)

Just got another reply which may be useful for any Liverpool fans...

Ive been on the LFC website and it says that due to popular demand they don't do this anymore but do a standard copy certificate print, you fill in your self.

You have to request it in writing and send an addressed a4 envelope (pref card backed one to stop damage in post) for them to return in it.

ooh, did that at the same time!

October11 - Did you send it to the address on their website? I was hoping someone had sent one to West Ham, my HTB is a huge fan and hi brother received one for his 30th from Liverpool, whom he supports. Did you send it to Donations, West Ham Football Club, Boelyn Ground, green street, upton park, london E13 9AZ - This is the only one i can find but underneath the address is says that they will only help genuine causes and local charities...did you still send yours??

Thank you! x

Hi

My other half is a huge Man United fan. What address did you use for this?

Thansk Em X

Thanks for posting this - written off to LFC today! eek!

UPDATE - Just got home to a letter and a card from Chelsea so took them less than 24 hrs, am impressed!!

HOWEVER!! All the signatures are not real. They are printed.

Makes it much less special I think, am bit dissapointed :-( Dont even think I want to give it to him, looks a bit rubbish really....

Hiya,

Yea thats where i sent it to - i sent an email first tho and they replied and said to send a letter in.

Good luck! x

Did anyone else get real signatures? Am I right to be a bit dissapointed?? Its not really from John terry is it, some admin girl has just printed it off the computer and posted it - not as special really! x

I was going to do the same next year for our wedding. As OH is a mad Chelsea fan too. Sad that they printed the signatures on but guess if they get soo many requests for it, its hard to get individual ones done. Especially with all the players in the same place at the same time?

I think ill still try and get one though, will wait until next year as half the players will be different im sure!

The liverpool one was printed... if you think about how many requests they get, its highly unlikely that they would have the time to sign them all!

I have sent a request for something to be sent for my OH.. I have high hopes that something will come of it, it is a small local team, so here's hoping! He'd love it. Will get it framed and he'll display it in his office, no doubt.

OMG ! We are getting married on the same day and my OH is a big fan too ! I might give that a go . Thanks for the tip x

I done this but for my OH's 30th birthday last year

I Emailed Arsenal Fc they said to write to them gave me the address ect

About a week later i got a printed letter wishing my OH a happy 30th ect ect

but it was signed by Arsene Wenger him self....needless to say i have one VERY happy

OH when he got it !!!

Thinking of doing it again for the wedding along with a personalised stone

Which will be placed in Armoury Square in London !!

I guess so!! Haha. Oh well...

I got one from man u- they sent it within 1 week. i sent them a letter and they sent it back through the post

I did it over a year ago- and got real signatures- it was before it became popular on the forums so they werent getting as many requests.

sounds like now as its so popular they are only sending out a letter with printed signatures

i got sir alex's signature and wayne rooneys- i had asked for these two. i got a letter with the 2 signatures on, saying congrats etc etc

I wrote to chelsea and heard nothing but contacted them again to say i hadnt yet recieved anything and within 4days a card and letter came. Mayb badger them again and c if they respond x
