Theatre-goers in a football frenzy

Football fans will be in for a treat when England legend Jimmy Greaves returns to the Hazlitt Theatre and presents one lucky theatre goer with a signed print.

Jimmy Greaves is hailed as one of the greatest English goal scorers of all time, and in his comic show, Jimmy Greaves At 70 Tour, he reminisces of his time a professional footballer and shares locker room secrets. 

During the second half fans will get to ask him questions, and he will also bring along a special mystery guest, usually an ex-star such as Ron ‘Chopper’ Harris, Steve Perryman, Martin Chivers, Ricardo Villa, Cliff Jones, Dave MacKay, Bobby Smith or Pat Jennings. 

The first customer to book a ticket for the show, Bernie Maxted, will be presented with the signed print from Jimmy himself. 

‘Greavsie’ is legendary in football because he scored an all-time record 357 First Division goals, plus 44 for England in just 57 games (the all-time record of 49 goals took Bobby Charlton 106 matches to amass). In all matches before his premature retirement in 1971 at the age of just 31 he scored a modern record 491 goals.

The show will begin at 7.30pm on Tuesday, March 30, and tickets cost £18.50 or £16.50 for concessions.  Call the box office on 01622 758611 or book online at http://www.hazlitttheatre.co.uk/
