    What are the chances of this happening?
    Hi guys,

    I'm just after a couple of opinions before I go ahead with this idea.

    It's my friends 21st Birthday in the next couple of months and I'm after getting a signed Cristiano Ronaldo shirt for him for his birthday. I don't want to buy one from the internet as they are expensive and I'm not 100% sure if they are all authentic as there's so many fakes out there.

    So I proposed the Idea to buy a Real Madrid shirt and send it in the mail along with a covering letter to Real Madrid explaining what the shirt is for and to see if they would sign and return the shirt. At least then I know that the signature is 100% authentic.

    What do you guys think of the chances of actually getting the shirt signed and also has anyone ever done anything similar?

    There's no harm in trying, but I highly doubt it.

    Go for it, I know a friend who sent in his Newcastle shirt to Match of the Day and got it signed by Shearer so maybe.

    You have a 50/50 chance of it happening. It could happen, or it won't
