This may seem a touch silly to some, but this is how I'm goin about takin care of one fo my friends. I'm srue throught the course of the night several ppl saw my friend Steve all decked out in his brand spaking new Dutch national team soccer jersey (size XL) w/ CORSTEN 1 emblazened on the back in large white characters.... all told spending somewhere in the neighbourhood of $160... all w/ the goal of tossing it to Ferry in the booth to have it autographed & tossed back.
Now what happened next is still a mystery to me b/c his version of the sequence of events is such that I cannot comprehend someone actually udnertaking such actions, so I shall leave that bit out as I cannot confirm nor deny his account's validity. However, that being said, in the process of Ferry launching said jersey back to Steve on the stage it was either intercepted or taken or whatever... the point is that it's rightful owner was stripped of his prized souvenir on his birthday either on purpose or by accident.
Flash forward to today & whilst surfing the forum at Ferry's site I come across pics of said jersey autograph & all displayed proudly w/ thanks & praise to Ferry for this item. Obviously there is an error here that needs to be rectified & I'm sure that as a community someone or several ppl likely know the individual now in possession of this jersey ... so I shall be including links & photo's (with great thanks to drgoodvibe & stingray for posting photos which provide incontravertible evidence of Steve's place as the jersey's rightful owner).
I thank you all in advance for your help in this, & to who ever has the jersey I really don't care that you have it as long as we get it back to Steve as it's something I'm sure we would all wish would be done for us should we ever face this situation.
now this is my first time attempting to post pics & links & what not so please bear w/ me....
thanks again
P.S. I'm sure the photo's need no explanation as to the sequence in which they occured during the night as we were there

Straight up from the "t" in travelninja (not the best shot of his face but w/ a zoom in you can see what Steve looks like)

Steve's now on the platform as Ferry begins (waving the jersey to greet Ferry...naturally)

Another shot to show that it is indeed Steve w/ the jersey on the platform (trademark white longsleeve shirt & shaven head clearly visible)

And now the link to the forum at Ferry's site clearly displaying the same jersey & outlining some of the circumstances which led to what I sincerely hope was an accidental change of ownership:

So there's the evidence guys. Any & all help is greatly appreciated, & I do extend my apologies to "Chinaman" as he's listed on Ferry's forum for having to do this & take away what is truly a great souvenir, but unfortunately my good man, it is not yours. |
