Have selfies replaced autographs when it comes to bonding between sports persons and fans? I hope not, because autographs are as enduring as photographs. Autograph hunters even share autographs, sell autographs, but who would want your selfie?

Autograph-hunting is no easy business, unglamorous too. It takes guts to approach a mega star who may be in no mood to hold yet another pen and inscribe away on a very busy day or at an inappropriate time.
