Sir Trevor Brooking at the Courtyard

Des Kelly, one of Britain's best-known sports columnists and now patron of the England Blind Football Squad, hosts a celebratory football chat show at Hereford's Courtyard on Wednesday August 18th at 7.30pm.

Special guests include football legend Sir Trevor Brooking and goalkeeping giant Ray Clemence, MBE.

Des will take a walk down memory lane looking at Sir Trevor’s 17 years at West Ham and his time under England managers Sir Alf Ramsey, Joe Mercer, Don Revie and Ron Greenwood. He’ll also be discussing with his guests the state of play in football following South Africa’s World Cup, and look at why events like the Blind World Cup are so important for the growth of the beautiful game in this country.

The evening is a must for all football fans, and is programmed to mark and celebrate the Blind World Cup which The FA are hosting at The Royal National College for the Blind’s thePoint4 during this week.

VIP tickets £35, offer the opportunity to enjoy a drinks reception after the show with Des Kelly, Sir Trevor Brooking and Ray Clemence.

Other tickets £18, concessions £12.


Meanwhile another event at the Courtyard, on August 16th at 11am, will feature The Rural Media Group and their Same but Different project which looks at equality and diversity in Herefordshire.

A special documentary by the Shoot Out team captures the preparations for this summer’s Blind World Cup in Hereford, and the legacy it will leave. This is a brilliant opportunity to see the work in progress, and to discuss equality, diversity, and sport (and the media’s role in it), not only in the week The FA hosts the Blind World Cup in Hereford, but as we start to count down to the London 2012 Paralympics and Olympics.

Entry is just £2 and the audience will each receive a free pass to one of the World Cup games at The Royal National College for the Blind’s thePoint4.
