Justin’s dreams were dashed and his shirts were ‘ruined’
Everyone dreams of getting their favourite player’s signature and for fans who follow their club from afar, that’s so much more difficult.
But one overseas fan, known only as Justin, thought his moment had finally come to get Christian Pulisic’s signature with Chelsea on tour in the US.
But it didn’t quite go to plan.

Ecstasy turned to agony for one unlucky fan
Justin patiently waited outside the Blues’ training camp for Pulisic to appear, armed with two shirts, one US and one Borussia Dortmund one.
However, he was left distraught as another Chelsea player signed the shirts instead. Walking up confidently, Jorginho promptly signed both shirts, despite both clearly featuring Pulisic’s name.
To make matters worse, the one player he wanted to sign the shirts didn’t, as Chelsea’s number 10 walked on by, leaving Justin empty-handed.
Justin, who is also a self-proclaimed Manchester City fan, expressed his disappointment on Twitter, claiming that his kits had now been “ruined.”
He said: Yesterday I attempted to get @cpulisic_10 to sign his USA & Dortmund kits at Chelsea training (he didn’t). Instead Jorginho shockingly walked up and immediately signed both without asking. I have no idea why, nobody else did. My jerseys are now ruined and I’m very disappointed.”

Despite his setback, Justin insists he is still going to get the forward’s signature one day, it’s just going to be shared alongside an Italian player who has no affiliation to the US or Dortmund.
