FOOTIE fans can now sign up to be part of a Barry sporting event when a legend of the game fields some questions.

Former England international and Southampton FC player, Matt Le Tissier will pitch up at the Barry Island Sports & Social Club on October, 10 – to wow what is sure to be a sell-out crowd.

Matt, known to Southampton fans as Le God was once described, by Manchester United supremo Sir Alex Ferguson as “one of the most gifted players of his generation” while Anfield hero Ronnie Whelan said: “Matt is one of best speakers on the after dinner circuit."

The event kicks off from 7pm.

Mack Events co-founder, Ross Mackintosh said: “We are really excited about bringing Matt Le Tissier to Barry. I have been lucky enough to meet Matt and also watched his talks and Q&A.His stories are hilarious and very honest One of the best things about Matt is that he has time for everyone and is very approachable.”

All who attend the event will have the opportunity to meet the sports star, have a chat and a photograph with him.

Ross said: “Bringing sporting Legends to Barry has been a huge success.

We have put on evenings with Liverpool Legends Jan Molby and Ronnie Whelan, Lions and Wales superstar Jamie Roberts, Arsenal legend and Sky sports star Paul Merson and we have just put on a sold out evening with Neil Razor Ruddock in our own Mack Events marquee at Romilly Park.

“Bringing Matt Le Tissier to Barry is really exciting as we have been trying to arrange it for the past 12 months and have finally been able to pull it off. Matt has such a high profile as he is on one of the best and most well known shows on Sky Sports - Gillette Soccer Saturday.”
