SAINTS goalkeeper Antti Niemi will be making a public appearance in Southampton between 2.30pm-4pm next Thursday at St Mary's Saints Megastore.

To commemorate the event, the Daily Echo has teamed up with Antti's new official kit supplier Uhlsport to bring you an exclusive competition.

Just by sending us a postcard, you could be meeting Antti and receiving a pair of gloves signed by the Finnish international goalkeeper who has been superb ever since he joined Saints from Hearts for £2m in 2002.

The winner of the competition will be invited to meet Antti at St Mary's Megastore, receive their prize and have their photograph taken with the Saints stopper.

Antti joins Inter Milan keeper Francesco Toldo, Valencia shot-stopper Santiago Canizares, Chelsea No 1 Carlo Cudicini and Juventus midfielder Pavel Nedved as Uhlsport endorsees.

To enter, simply send a postcard with your name and a day-time contact telephone number to: Antti's Gloves Competition, Sports Desk, Southern Daily Echo, Test Lane, Redbridge, Southampton, SO16 9JX.

Closing date for entry is next Tuesday, October 28.

The winner will be notified by telephone on Tuesday and must be available to meet Antti two days later.
