He will be joined at the ECC Club by Geoff Palmer, Derek Parkin, George Berry, Kenny Hibbitt, Willie Carr, Mel Eves and Colin Brazier, while fellow club legends Terry Wharton and Phil Parkes will also be in attendance.

The night, hosted by Jason Guy, will include a question and answer session and hot buffet, while supporters can have their photos taken with their heroes as part of a meet and greet when the event gets underway at 6pm.
