An Evening of Laughter, Passion, and Nostalgia As the clock struck 8, the theatre erupted into a chorus of Mull of Kintyre , a stirring prelude that echoed through the auditorium. Then, the moment everyone had been waiting for — the legends took to the stage.

The laughter was loud, the applause even louder, as memories came flooding back and the chemistry between the former teammates lit up the room. The Crowd Takes the Mic In part two, the audience took center stage with a Q&A session that showcased the passion and knowledge of Forest’s faithful. The legends didn’t hold back, offering candid insights, emotional reflections, and plenty more moments of humour that kept the crowd hanging on every word.

It was a fitting tribute to a team that not only made history but continues to inspire generation after generation. Did You Miss It?

Next year marks the 35th anniversary of one of Manchester United’s most significant victories – the unforgettable night in Rotterdam where Sir Alex Ferguson’s men defeated Barcelona to lift the 1991 European Cup Winners’ Cup . It was more than just a trophy—it was the spark that ignited an era of dominance. The final, held on May 15, 1991, saw a determined Manchester United side take on Johan Cruyff’s Barcelona, a team packed with talent. But United’s grit, passion, and teamwork shone through. Mark Hughes , with his two brilliant goals, etched his name into club folklore. Players like Bryan Robson , Steve Bruce , Paul Ince , Clayton Blackmore , and Les Sealey delivered standout performances on the night, showing Europe what Manchester United was made of. That night wasn’t just about lifting silverware—it marked a turning point. For Sir Alex Ferguson, this was his first European triumph with United, and it served as a catalyst for the decades of success that followed .

Check our last An evening with Lord Ian Botham below Note- some tour dates are theatre settings An evening with Lord Ian Botham Get tickets for An evening with Lord Ian Botham Legends don’t come much bigger than Sir Ian Botham. An icon of English sport and culture – there has never been a bigger personality with a zest for life as much as beefy! Whether it’s being a ‘big match player’ for England Cricket (so much so the 1981 Ashes are referred to as Botham’s Ashes), whether its playing football in the 4th division whilst captaining the England Cricket team, raising Millions of pounds for Leukaemia charities with his ever impressive and gruelling walks which in turn earned him a knighthood. He has gone on to become the president of Bloodwise (a blood cancer charity) has a life peerage in the House of Lords, a thriving wine business and has even been inducted into the ICC cricket hall of fame. Here are a list of reasons that we love The Right Honourable The Lord Botham Kt OBE or Beefy to his friends 1. Sporting Legend England consistently provides the world with sporting icons. Names such as Sir Henry Cooper, David Beckham, Kevin Keegan, Frank Bruno, Linford Christie, Daly Thompson and Nick Faldo. Ian Botham can comfortably include his name on that list of English sporting heroes. Whilst Botham is a natural sportsman who still is very active with his golf, shooting and angling. It was Cricket where Beefy truly made his name Botham’s Cricketing career lasted from 1972 to 1993 and in that time his record stands at over 5000 runs, including 14 centuries, took 383 wickets, and 120 catches, He was also the fastest to the double of 1000 runs and 100 wickets. He is possibly the finest all-rounder that English cricket has ever seen It was the 1981 Ashes series that solidified Beefy as one of the nation’s heroes – a genuine match winner whether he was batting or bowling. The Ashes was his finest hour. England went 1-0 down in the series after the first two tests and needed a hero. Botham had been removed as captain and the weight seemingly lifted from his shoulders went back to doing what he did best, winning cricket matches. England won the series 3–1 despite being 1–0 down after the first two Tests. Before the third Test at Headingly, the inspirational Mike Brearley was reinstated as England captain, replacing Ian Botham, whose 12-Test tenure as captain had been winless and whose previously excellent form with both bat and ball had fallen away (he had made a pair in the second Test at Lord's). A galvanised Botham took 6 for 95 in Australia's first innings and scored 50 in England's, but Australia nonetheless compiled 401 for 9 declared (John Dyson scoring 102) and bowled England out for 174, thus forcing England to follow on 227 runs in arrears. Despite a stubborn 46 from Geoff Boycott, in the second innings Botham came to the crease with England on 105 for 5, still requiring 122 runs to avoid an innings defeat. He played an outstanding innings of 149 not out, sharing partnerships of 117 with Graham Dilley for the eighth wicket, 67 with Chris Old for the ninth and 37 with Bob Willis for the tenth, to set Australia a target of 130. Australia then reached 56 for 1, seemingly well set, before Brearley switched Willis' bowling end to allow him to bowl down the slope. Willis bowled a superb spell of 8 for 43 to dismiss Australia for 111; England became only the second team in Test Match history to win a match after being made to follow-on. The fourth Test at Edgbaston was a similarly inspired comeback victory for England. England conceded a 69-run first innings deficit, and set Australia a target of only 151 in the fourth innings. Australia reached 105 for 4 before Botham took five for 11, including a spell of five wickets for a solitary run, to end Australia's second innings at 121 and give England victory by 29 runs England also went on to win the fifth Test at Old Trafford to retain the Ashes, including another century for Botham (who reached his hundred in 86 balls). Botham scored 118 from 102 balls, dominating a chalk-and-cheese partnership of 149 with Chris Tavaré, who blocked his way to 78 from 289 balls. Botham's innings included 6 sixes, which was an Ashes record until Ben Stokes's innings of 135 at Headingly in the 2019 Ashes series. Second-innings centuries from Allan Border and Graham Yallop could not avert defeat. The sixth Test at the Oval was drawn, with Dennis Lillee taking 11 wickets in the match and Botham taking 10. 2. Charity work and walking As with most things in life it was chance that lead to the next chapter in Ian Botham’s life. In 1977 an accident on the cricket field lead to a broken toe and a bit of time in hospital. It was during this spell Sir Ian Botham was first made aware of the realities of children suffering with leukaemia “It was shattering news for me,” Botham explains. “I simply couldn’t take in what I was hearing.” Giving £50 for the annual party on the ward was a start, yet Botham knew that more could be done. “Over the years, the seed that was planted that day grew and grew.” Botham discovered more about the disease – a cancer which starts in blood-forming tissue – and knew that he could put his public status to good use in raising funds for the cause. In 1985 Botham set himself a challenge to walk from John O’Groats to Lands End to raise money and awareness of this horrific disease and aiming to make £100,000. With the publicity and the nations love of Botham he was £10,000 over his target by the time he had reached the Scottish Border, he still had all of England to go! By the time he reached Land’s End (and Jumped into the sea) he had quadrupled his original target and raised £400,000. A fuse was lit under Botham and the British public fell in love with him even more – This meant Botham simply HAD to continue walking and raising money. Beefy’s walks continued throughout the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s – challenging himself to walk various different routes and in different countries with his most recent ones taking place in Sri Lanka, South Africa and Australia. Perhaps his most famous challenge was in 1988 when he replicated Hannibal’s trek across the alps! For all of his efforts Botham has raised over £25 million pounds for childhood Leukaemia charities and in the 4 decades since Botham started walking for charity the survival rate of Childhood Leukaemia was 20% it now sits at 85% and rising It all started from a broken toe 3. Knighthood and Lifetime Peerage In 2007 Ian Botham became Sir Ian Botham as he was knighted by the queen for services to cricket and charity. Sir Ian said of the honour As a patriotic Englishman, nothing compares with having my work recognised by Her Majesty the Queen and it’s an honour and an occasion that I’ll never forget. It eclipsed great events in my life like my first Test match, Ashes victories and even Headingley 1981. I was particularly pleased that my work for Leukaemia research had been recognised and though the award was made to ‘Sir Beefy’, I accepted it on behalf of the countless people who have helped me over the years in the fight against that terrible disease. The knighthood won’t make any difference to who I am and the way I am, but I will always treasure the honour bestowed on me and I hope the publicity and prestige that goes with it will help us to raise even more money for the fight against Leukaemia that is my life’s work.” In 2020 Sir Ian became Lord Botham with his lifetime peerage and has become the UK’s trade envoy to Australia. To sum up Lord Botham is a difficult task – he played 4th division football for Scunthorpe while representing England at centre back. He is a hero of the Ashes in 1981, a hard partier, a respected baron and trade envoy, a tireless charity campaigner, a regular commentator on Sky sports and team captain on question of sport, a golfer, angler, grouse shooter and now has his own brand of wine! In short – there is only one Beefy and he has lived a full and inspirational life that inspires the nation, regardless of their background An evening with Lord Ian Botham 5 Dates and locations to choose from 9th June - Scunthorpe 12th June - Lincoln 13th June - York 20th June - Stoke 21st June - Manchester

Football fans in Watford were treated to a memorable evening as the iconic Bryan Robson made a special appearance at Watford Football Club as part of his official UK Meet & Greet Tour with Superstar Speakers. Fresh from a trip to Spain where he watched his beloved Manchester United compete in the Europa League Final, Robson arrived in great spirits—despite the team’s defeat—to greet fans with his trademark warmth and enthusiasm. He took time for photographs, signed autographs, and connected with supporters before taking to the stage for a live two-part interview. Joining him on stage was none other than Alan Keegan, the legendary “Voice of Old Trafford,” who had also flown back from Bilbao earlier that day. Together, Robson and Keegan treated the crowd to an entertaining and insightful evening, filled with behind-the-scenes stories, heartfelt reflections, and humorous anecdotes from Robson’s illustrious football career. Throughout the evening, Bryan shared incredible tales from his time on the pitch—recalling what it was like to play alongside football greats such as Paul Gascoigne, Eric Cantona, and many more. With over two decades at the highest level of the sport, Robson’s career includes captaining Manchester United and England, earning the nickname “Captain Marvel” for his relentless work ethic, leadership, and commitment. The event was made all the more special by the exceptional setting of Watford Football Club, whose facilities provided a perfect backdrop for the evening.

- Fantastic Legends Football Match was much more than just a football match
Legends Clash in Memorable 9-3 Thriller at Carlton Town FC Football fans were treated to a spectacular afternoon of action as the Manchester United Legends faced off against the Nottingham Legends on Sunday, 9th February, at Carlton Town Football Club. The event brought together footballing icons, memorable moments, and a fantastic community atmosphere — all while raising funds for a fantastic cause. The game ended in a remarkable 9-3 victory for the Nottingham Legends, with some outstanding individual performances lighting up the pitch. Former Nottingham Forest striker Marlon Harewood was in unstoppable form, bagging several goals, including one strike that will go down as one of the finest ever seen in a legends match. His clinical finishing proved the difference on a day when the legends showed they still have plenty of magic left. Great Goal from Marlon Harewood https://youtu.be/J4pDIZmQe0E?si=FSyHgDd7WBY4lZFW 🏆 Defensive Masterclasses and Treble-Winning Presence It wasn’t just the attacking players who stood out. The Manchester United Legends were bolstered by the presence of Treble winners David May and Wes Brown in defence. Their positioning, leadership, and experience were evident throughout the match, providing fans with a nostalgic reminder of the club’s golden era. Meanwhile, on the Nottingham side, Des Walker rolled back the years with an incredible defensive performance. The former England international demonstrated his timeless ability to read the game, making crucial interceptions and showing younger fans exactly why he was so revered in his playing days. 🎙️ Entertainment On and Off the Pitch The matchday experience wasn’t just about the football. Nigel Jemson took on co-commentary duties, offering insight, humor, and anecdotes throughout the game, while Alan Keegan, the iconic “Voice of Old Trafford,” kept fans thoroughly entertained with his trademark energy and charisma on the microphone. Special guest appearances added to the sense of occasion. Nottingham’s own boxing star Leigh Wood was in attendance, alongside former football manager Ron Atkinson — who famously managed both Manchester United and Nottingham Forest — and legendary striker Ian Storey-Moore, who also represented both clubs in his career. ⚽ Goals Galore and Memorable Moments The match delivered a feast of goals, with several strikes deserving a place on any highlight reel. The Nottingham Legends’ attacking prowess, led by Harewood, proved too much to handle, but the United Legends had their moments too, with some fantastic link-up play and clinical finishing keeping the crowd entertained until the final whistle.
