PON get Shola Ameobi Panini sticker signed for charity

Collecting football stickers. The staple of many a young football fan (and plenty of grown-ups too). A difficult but enjoyable mission which, if/when completed, gives you a massive of achievement.

Chasing stickers is hard enough as it is - but imagine doing this while also getting all the players to sign the ones with their face on it. Pretty much a case of God Mode difficulty level.

This is exactly what Stickerchase are doing at present, however, and it's being done for a good cause.

Their mission is to get the 2014 Panini World Cup sticker album signed by all the players in the collection, all before the start of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Once completed, it will be auctioned off, and proceeds will go to Sport Relief.

We at Pride of Nottingham are delighted to have done our bit, with Chris getting a sticker of Shola Ameobi - who played for Nigeria at the Brazil World Cup - signed by the Notts County striker himself.

How did he find out about Stickerchase and get involved? He said: "I posted a picture of me with Shola Ameobi on Twitter, pretty straightforward really - I had kept hold of it for sometime and thought 'Shall I post it?'

"I have pictures I've never shared on social media, even with Jack Grealish and Callum McGregor but I thought why not with regards to Shola.

"Then out of the blue I receive a tweet and a DM from @StickerChase asking if I could help them, I didn't need to see much after noticing it was for charity and Sport Relief - I just gladly agreed."

He was sent the sticker and, on Friday night in County's 2-2 draw with Accrington Stanley, was able to get the signature from the big man himself, which he will send back off to Stickerchase.

At present, they stand at 74 stickers out of 615 and have just over nine-and-a-half months left to complete their mission.
