I'M A very keen collector of autographs of the older ex-Blackburn Rovers footballers and I wonder whether any of your readers could help me.

I have quite an extensive collection, but I would love to obtain autographs of the following:

William Hughes, 1948-49; Bobby Langton, 1953-55; Andy McEvoy, 1958-66; Eamonn Rogers, 1965-71; Noel Brotherston, 1977-86; and Ian Lawther 1961-62.

With the exception of Rogers and Lawther the others have, sadly, passed away.

My hobby gives me an enormous amount of pleasure and I would be delighted if there are any Rovers fans who could help me with my collection.

I would, of course, gladly reimburse the asking price to anyone kind enough to respond.
