Considering how long Eric Webber was at the club as a player and manager finding his autograph isn't easy... Especially taking into account his importance in the history of the club, being the first in charge to gain promotion for United.
I have most of the teams he either played in or managed complete on single sheets but his signature is the one that always seems to be missing. Quite possibly it wasn't his 'thing' to sign and kept away when the pen and paper came out.
But at last i've managed to get hold of one, signed on his picture in a programme.
And by chance it's from one back in 1959, our promotion season, for the game against today's opponents Darlington (that's if you are looking at this today, the 6th of March 2010, otherwise that comment is totally irrelevant!)
Also, Tim has already posted a copy of this complete programme in the correct room so i'm only showing the relevant parts.
(Now watch everyone pour in with Webber autographs!)
