All Dan was asking was an autograph. Not sure why Turner went to the extent of make up a BS story, all he had to do was refuse in the first place.
Disappointed for Dan because I know the bloke is trying hard to get the whole premiership team together on the one jumper. I'm also disappointed in Turners behavior.

I know Dan personally, he is a good mate, is as diehard as they come and has a huge heart. Just recently he went out of his way to get my old Spicers Paper jumper signed by Scott Burns himself 'To Roddy'. I can never thank Magpie Dan enough. Whether Dan should have started this thread is debatable but I feel i must post this because a lot of you people are questioning Dans character and integrity when u don't even know the bloke.

Good on you Dan mate, keep punching and keep your chin up.

On the other hand, if the player is approached on a night out with family, friends and just wants to be left alone to live his life, then he should have the right to say maybe another time. But because Turner is long retired, the training option is obviously out. He should have signed. He is a legend of the club, being in the last premiership team. Would it have killed him to sign the bloody thing?!

If you don't agree with what he's said, then you should say why. As is your right to do.

Attacking Dan personally though just doesn't add anything to this thread or this board on the whole.

Play the ball, not the man....

But it's ok for Dan to attack a Premiership Player personally because he wouldn't give him an autograph?

This whole thread says more about Dan than it does about Jamie Turner.

I agree with that PP but Dan hasn't just attacked Jamie Turner personally - he's attacked him extremely publically, via this very widely read Bulletin Board.

Not cool.

Are you serious Andrew, Dan may of attacked Turner but he did so with everyone knowing who Dan is...
Dan hasn't assumed a Donald Duck internet user name and vilified Jamie Turner like many other posters do around here when the Pies get beat ( no argument however from you Andrew when that happens )
Dan is a passionate Collingwood supporter moreso what many others may appreciate. Dan is the type of guy who loves to interact with players, A chat a wave of the hand etc etc and collects memorabillia not for profit but for keepsake.
It would of been a big thing for Dan to spot Turner and ask him to sign his football..as far as i can see Turner has treated Dan like a piece on unwanted furniture...I dont like that!
So Dan has called Turner arrogant from what i've read and heard from Dan i'd say he is pretty much spot on. If Dan had of been some reporter with a 500.00 cheque wanting to rekindle Turner's thought's about the 1990 Premiership i bet he wouldn't of been waved away.

Jamie Turner is a Collingwood premiership player and in latter years we dont havn't had too many of them..We still look upon these guys as Gods and even today some 16 years later thay are very much still in the public eye even if it only be Collingwood eyes...Jamie Turner should remember that, Just recently Andrew i got to sit next to Bill Serong at a function ( i shared lobster with a collingwood legend ) i was in awe and i was at times nervous as he was my 1958 premiership hero, he treated with kindness and respect all night and i did not move from that chair one inch let me tell ya

Lets give Dan a break on this one..He's a great Collingwood person goes to all interstate games and most training sessions, He's expressed an opinion and is entitled to do so.
I hope this post is pointed out to Jamie Turner because Jamie has hurt a magpie brother..we're all better than that
