Book him, officer!

BAFFLED footballers have told how they were pulled over by a police car with sirens blaring — so they could sign autographs for a besotted WPC.

German side Hamburg were in their team coach on the way to a match when they were forced off the motorway by traffic cops.

But instead of a ticket, all they got was a demand from a blonde female officer for star striker Mladen Petric's autograph.

The Croatian forward, 30, said: "All the other players were smiling. I thought they were taking the p***, so I didn't move at first.

"Eventually I realised they really wanted me to go to the front.

"When I got there a young police woman told me she was a big fan of mine, got out her autograph book and asked for my autograph."

The bizarre demand emerged when the club Tweeted the encounter with a picture after the match.

It read: "Our team bus stopped by the police because cop wanted an autograph."
