THE Carling Premiership is offering football fans a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with legends and star players from their favourite teams with the launch of ‘Carling Presents an Evening of Legends’.

‘Carling Presents an Evening of Legends’ … is a series of free events, one for each of the twelve Carling Premiership clubs where fans will be able to ask the legends and star players of their team the questions they have always wanted answered.

Aisling Duffy Carling Marketing Manager is excited about helping fans get closer to their favourite sports stars.  “We have created the Carling Presents evenings to help the fans get closer to the legends and star players from their favourite teams in the Carling Premiership. Each of the clubs has such a great history of legendary players, so we are looking forward to bringing the legends back to the club, with the current stars.

The events are free and fans have the chance to find out everything they ever wanted to know about their football heroes, get a picture taken with them and the Gibson Cup, as well as enjoy some ice-cold pints of Carling. The hype surrounding the events is already building and we expect the tickets to be in high demand.” 

The events kick off on Wednesday 18^th November with Glentoran legends Jim Cleary and Billy Caskey joining current star players Keith Gillespie and Captain Paul Leeman.

Next will be the turn of Lisburn Distillery on Wednesday 25^th November when legend Tommy Wright will join forward Glenn Ferguson.

Wednesday 2^nd December will see Glenavon legends Paul Byrne and Gerard McMahon quizzed alongside Manager Marty Quinn.

The last event before Christmas is Wednesday 9^th December when Cliftonville legends Marty Tabb and John Platt and striker Chris Scannell go under the spotlight.

The other eight Carling Presents an Evening of Legends dates will be announced soon. The BBC’s Jackie Fullerton, a football legend in his own right, is looking forward to hosting all twelve Carling Presents events. “I am delighted to be involved in Carling Presents as it provides football fans with a fantastic opportunity to find out more about the legends and star players of their favourite teams in the Carling Premiership,” said Jackie.
