Simon's Spurs Shirt Signatures...

Simon recently won a Tottenham replica shirt in a charity auction, signed by members of the illustrious squad at White Hart Lane.

Trouble is, we can't work out what half of the signatures are, so we're wondering if you can.

We've numbered them, so drop us a line (click "Get in touch" at the top of this page) and let us know!

(PS - the usual disclaimer - this isn't a competition. You won't win anything other than the admiration of your peers and an award-winning broadcaster. Simon rather likes the shirt and would like to keep it.)

=== AN UPDATE (15:45) ===

Thankfully, the Spurs Press Office have cleared up the issue for us - they think. They've sent us a list of the names they reckon match the numbers in the photos.

Scroll to the bottom of the page if you want to find out.
