One of my 2009 New Year's resolutions is to try and obtain signed photographs from some of the beautiful game's beautiful characters. I'm not looking for the superstars, but rather those who make everything that little bit more interesting.

To start things off I have the one and only Tony Pulis. I was sent this in the week Tony said this of the January transfer window:

"We can’t get the top players. We are looking for players where there is something wrong with them. We are not at Crufts, we are at Battersea Dogs Home. We go looking for strays, get them in and cuddle them."

Truly great man.
