Signed in person and witnessed by the collection's owner, who confirms this signature is genuine, not printed. Close-up photos are shown so you can see the signature for yourself.

A full-squad signed D.A.F.C. football from the mid-1990s, believed to include the signature of Norrie McCathie - Dunfermline's long-serving captain, who died in January 1996 and remains one of the most loved figures in the club's history - alongside manager Bert Paton and around a dozen team-mates including Allan Preston and Andy Hawkins. The signatures are unauthenticated and the handwriting takes some reading, so please study the photographs, which show the ball from several angles. The ball shows light soiling and yellowing consistent with its age. A quiet, meaningful piece for anyone who stood at East End Park in that era.

Ball shows light soiling and yellowing consistent with age, signatures mostly legible as ink marks though handwriting style makes names hard to read. Assessed from photo only.
