Here goes take 2. Have this time attached a URL to take you to the picture of the jersey. If it works a big thanks to Colonel and Hellchick.

In 2001 I was given a signed 2001 eels jersey for my 30th b'day and was wondering if you could assist me in recognizing the signatures on it (of which I have numbered) as there are a few I do not know.

I always get asked when visiters turn up so thought it was about time to look into it further.

As you could imagine it is my pride and joy and really would be appreciative if you can assist in any way.

Thanks heaps

4 is Alex Chan
8-Brett Hodgson
9 is Jayson Cayless
13-Mick Vella
15-Nathan Cayless
18 to me looks like another slightly rushed signature of Brett Hodgson's (is there a possibility he signed it twice?)
21-not 100% positive but i think Brad Drew
24- i think David Westley but definitely not Vaealiki
and 25 is Luke Burt

Thanks heaps Vaealikis Girl. Are you 100% with those ones. What about 18. Brian Smith. The jersey was organised through the club where the players sit down at a designated signing day so who knows if it was signed twice.

I am 100% positive of 4, 8, 9, 15 and 25 and that 24 isn't Vaealiki.

99.9% positive on 13 and pretty sure 24 is david westley.

21 i'm not positive as it's hard to see but it looks like Drew to me.

With 18 i thought about it being Brian Smith but his tend to be really easy to recognise and i don't think it matches any of the other players named. I could be wrong though. However, if you look at it and compare certain parts to 8 which i'm positive is Hodgo's it's very similar. For example, the B at the start, the section that kind of looks like crossed t's and a capital H in one, and the line and dot at the end.

Can you tell i'm really bored ;-)

How cool is that jersey!

For what it's worth I reckon 18 is definitely a different sig, not a double up. It might even say "Grothe" with an E overlapping the G at the start?

another opinion can never hurt ;-)

4. Alex Chan
8. Brett Hodgson
13. Mick Vella
15. Nathan Cayless
18. I would have to agree that this is either a double hodgy or smithy. sorry!
21. Brad Drew
25. Burty

fun fact: If you have alex chan's signature on an eels jersey. it is always on the 'A' of asics :D

I am very close to positive that 21 is Brad Drew. And i still stand by my theory that Hodgson has signed it twice ;-)

As for Vaealiki, nope his is definitely not on there.
