League Vice Chairman Peter Playle welcomes Paul Merson.
 
The Evening started with a Fine Four Course Meal, and then the 200+ crowd were entertained by some really funny stories associated with Football and Guest Speaker Paul Merson, Paul speaking and keeping everyone entertained for over an Hour. I must say having organised the League Presentation Dinner for over 25 Years this was by far the Best After Dinner Speaker I have seen, the League has some big names as Guest Speakers But None were as Good as Paul Merson.
