As we head toward Christmas and the end of another unforgettable year, everyone at Superstar Speakers would like to wish you good health, happiness, and a joyful festive season spent with the people who matter most to you. Looking back, it’s fair to say that the year began in the strangest and most challenging way imaginable. January and February tested us like never before. A total of 14 events had to be postponed due to an extraordinary run of incidents that were completely beyond anyone’s control. We faced extreme weather, including Storm Eowyn, the most devastating storm to hit Ireland since 1961, which resulted in all flights being cancelled in and out of Ireland. On top of that, there were serious and deeply unfortunate personal circumstances affecting some of our guest speakers. The sad illness of Frank Bruno, who was hospitalised overseas for several weeks, meant all of his scheduled events had to be postponed. We also had other speakers suffer serious health issues, including two heart attacks, which understandably brought everything to a halt. These were situations none of us could have predicted or prepared for, and they were absolutely no fault of our own or of the speakers involved. Sadly, during that period, our team was subjected to some truly horrible abuse, including death threats, which was an incredibly distressing experience for our staff. It was a tough start to the year, and one we won’t forget. Thankfully, once we moved past those early months, it was business as usual—and what a year it turned out to be. Across the year, we proudly delivered 134 events, including a 20-date exclusive tour with England legend Bryan Robson. We were honoured to work with an incredible lineup of football icons such as Robbie Fowler, Les Ferdinand, Jaap Stam, Andy Cole, Tony Adams, Alan Shearer, Emmanuel Petit, Ian Rush, Duncan Ferguson, Stuart Pearce, John Barnes, Steve McMahon, Norman Whiteside, Ronnie Whelan, and many more. We also welcomed boxing legends including Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton. Tragically, we lost Ricky Hatton later in the year. Ricky was not only one of the greatest boxers this country has ever produced, but also one of the most entertaining, honest, and loved after-dinner speakers around. Above all, he was a genuinely warm and humble human being. He will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him, working with him, or simply listening to his incredible stories. It was also a sad year for music, with the loss of Mani, legendary bassist of The Stone Roses, who worked with Superstar Speakers for a short period earlier in the year. Mani was an icon, particularly in Manchester, and his influence on the music industry will never be forgotten. Our thoughts remain with his family, friends, bandmates, and the countless fans whose lives he touched through his music. None of this would have been possible without the fantastic venues and teams who supported us every step of the way. A huge thank you to brilliant partners such as Hotel Football, the Crowne Plaza and Mercure hotel chains, and the many theatres across the country that helped us put on unforgettable shows, including the Theatre Royal Nottingham and The Lowry, Manchester. We also want to say a massive thank you to everyone behind the scenes who makes these events happen: our dedicated staff, security teams, technicians, photographers, and our brilliant hosts including Jed Stone, Alan Keegan, Pete Graves, Mark Peters, Graham White, Jared Earl, and many others. But our biggest thanks of all goes to you—the supporters, the fans, the guests. You are the heart and soul of every event. Your energy in the room, the applause, the laughter, the smiles, and sometimes even the tears are what create the magic. Seeing fans meet their heroes and listen to the people they idolise is exactly why we do what we do. Without you, none of this is possible. We’re already looking ahead with excitement to lots of new events in 2026, and we can’t wait for you to join us again for more unforgettable nights. From all of us at Superstar Speakers, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year—filled with good health, happiness, and special moments with your loved ones. 🎄✨

Sunday evening was one to remember as we had the privilege of welcoming back Hall of Fame boxing legend Nigel Benn  for an exclusive signing session at the Superstar Speakers Framing Workshop. It’s always an honour to spend time with “The Dark Destroyer,” and catching up with him in person is something truly special. Nigel is heading back home to Australia in just a couple of days, so having him with us before his flight made the occasion even more meaningful. Despite his busy schedule, he took the time to sit down and sign a fantastic range of memorabilia for Superstar Speakers — including photos, shirts, and gloves , all of which capture iconic moments from his incredible career. During the session, we had the chance to chat with Nigel about his journey — from his early years in the army , where he built the discipline and toughness that would later define him, to his unforgettable boxing career , filled with legendary battles and world-title glory. As always, Nigel’s stories were full of honesty, humour, and the raw passion that made him one of Britain’s most loved fighters. We’re delighted to announce that all signed items from this exclusive session are now available to purchase online at Superstar Speakers . Whether you’re a lifelong fan, a collector, or simply want a piece of sporting history, this is a rare opportunity to own memorabilia personally signed by one of boxing’s true greats. Be sure to check out the collection — once they’re gone, they’re gone!

What a fantastic evening it was at the Crowne Plaza in Nottingham , where fans were treated to something truly special — the reunion of two Forest greats who lit up the City Ground in the 1990s. The event brought together Bryan Roy and Stan Collymore , the iconic centre-forward partnership that terrorised Premier League defences some 30 years ago. For Forest supporters, seeing them share the stage again was a nostalgic trip back to one of the club’s most exciting eras. A Lethal Partnership of the 90s Back in the mid-90s, few strike partnerships in English football were as feared as Roy and Collymore. Their mix of pace, power, flair, and finishing ability made Nottingham Forest a force to be reckoned with. Together, they struck fear into defenders up and down the country and gave fans countless memories to cherish. Legends Reunited On this special evening, the pair met fans, signed autographs, posed for photos, and then took to the stage to reflect on their time in football. Supporters were treated to candid insights into their careers — both the highs and the challenges — along with behind-the-scenes stories that only legends of the game could tell. A Perfect Venue for a Memorable Night The Crowne Plaza  proved the perfect setting, offering an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere where fans could get up close and personal with two icons of Forest’s proud history. The evening flowed seamlessly, blending nostalgia with humour, passion, and reflection. An Evening That Will Stay With Fans For those who attended, it wasn’t just about reliving memories of goals and glory from the 90s. It was about celebrating the legacy of players who gave everything in the Garibaldi red and reconnecting with the spirit of Nottingham Forest. All in all, it was an unforgettable evening  — a great venue, two incredible guests, and a room full of fans united by the love of their club.

Fans — young and old — poured into the theatre, relishing the rare opportunity to meet their idols face-to-face for photos and memories that will last a lifetime.

This was not just a celebration — it was a homecoming. 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. Host and MC Jed Stone kicked off part one with a series of expertly crafted questions, drawing out hilarious, heartfelt, and often surprising stories from the players. 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.
