News : Thanks to all who attended the Inaugural Sportsmans Dinner

Friday 4th February 2011-Inaugural Globe Arena Sportsman’s Dinner

In Association with The Bay Radio

 

The Inaugural Globe Arena Sportsman’s Dinner proved to be a real winner on Friday 4th February, with a sell-out crowd of local businessmen (and women!) and fans alike.

After a VIP meet and greet with the event sponsors The Bay Radio, The Friends of Morecambe Football Club were delighted to welcome retired Southampton and England International Footballer Matt Le Tissier as the guest speaker at the first Sportsman’s Dinner to be held at the Globe Arena. After a superb 3 course dinner of Carrot & Coriander Soup, Braised Beef and Double Chocolate Fudge Cake, Matt entertained the guests with memories and witty anecdotes from his 18 year professional career and was more than happy to sign countless autographs throughout the evening. He was ably assisted on the evening by local comedian and Master of Ceremonies, Lester Crabtree who kept the crowd laughing until late.

 Up for auction on the night were a framed and signed Steven Gerrard shirt and photo, and a framed and signed Ryan Giggs shirt and photo, accompanied by a 2008 Champions League Final programme (Moscow) which both raised a fantastic amount for The Friends of Morecambe Football Club. Raffle prizes included a Southampton shirt signed on the night by Matt Le Tissier, 8 vouchers for Morecambe Football Club Matchday Hospitality and 24 bottles of Shrimps wine!
