Spirit of 78 is holding an Evening with Mauricio Taricco after the Brighton game on New Year’s Day at the Drum and Monkey (start 7pm-ish).
Taricco, now the assistant manager with the Seagulls, will talk about his career and then take part in a question and answer session, followed by a raffle and auction.
On the night, the Drum and Monkey will be turned blue and white with welcome back banners and a free souvenir programme will be available.
The auction — which includes prizes donated by famous figures from throughout sport — will raise funds for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. Raffle tickets can be bought now from the behind the bar at the Drum and Monkey at £1 a book.
