Former Sunderland man Michael Bridges has revealed the ‘valuable lesson’ that Niall Quinn taught him when trying to skip signing autographs.
With a clip of the current Arsenal players signing autographs but not interacting with a young fan currently circulating social media, Bridges revealed how Quinn gave him a timely reminder when it came to showing appreciation to the fans. The former Leeds and Black Cats striker had attempted to avoid signing autographs for supporters prior to entering the stadium, but senior man and ‘mentor’ Quinn had pulled him aside and advised him to go back to the fans and show more gratitude.
“There was a queue of fans at the stadium, and I signed along the line and I looked at my watch and I knew I was going to be late getting in the ground,” Bridges told the Gegen Podcast.
