Worked with David on a Teesside construction site an absolute gent. What a treat to get to know someone who played at such a level.

Would anybody have a contact address for David. I am an Ipswich Town Season Ticket Holder and also an avid autograph collector ! (Since the age of 11 - am now aged 47 !)I am on a personal mission to get an Ipswich programme dated 1991, signed by the whole team. Many thanks in advance.
