Spirit of 78 is staging an Evening with George Burley at the Drum and Monkey following the Blackburn game on Saturday 18th October (6pm). The event, which will raise funds for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, will also feature Soccer AM’s Franky Fryer.

The evening, which is sponsored by KBB East Anglia Ltd, will see ex-full-back and boss Burley give a talk on his two careers at Ipswich Town, followed by a question and answer session from the floor.

Franky will provide some laughter along the way and take charge of the raffle and auction which will help raise funds for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

Auction items already donated include a framed, signed ITFC shirt, kindly provided by the Big Match Framing Company, a signed Liverpool shirt, a signed Manchester City shirt, a signed shirt from Theo Walcott and signed boots from Carlos Edwards.

Raffle prizes include a Blu Ray player, cookware, bedding, an ITFC toaster, an ITFC retro shirt, decanters, wine and more. The event should end at around 9.30pm when there will be a special presentation.

There will also be a free souvenir programme on the night which will include details of a trip to Holland planned for March which will see fans travel to watch two games at Helmond Sport and NAC Breda and meet up with some ex-Town players.

Entry is £5 with tickets available beforehand at the Drum and Monkey. Spirit of 78 recommend that tickets are purchased in advance as interest is high. To reserve a ticket or for more information, email ,a href=mailto:spiritof78@outlook.com>spiritof78@outlook.com.
