Blair Gavin


I met him at Al Lang Stadium in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2020, when Phoenix Rising, whom he was an assistant coach for, came to play the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the USL Championship Final.

This was my first in-person autograph in 7 months after COVID-19 virtually shut everything down in 2020. Ironically, the match ended up being canceled the day after I got this autograph after numerous Rowdies coaches and players tested positive for the virus.

Blair signed a 2011 Upper Deck Major League Soccer card #12.
