More Peterborough United promotion heroes announced for special 'Very Posh' charity evening and you could be there!
Further Peterborough United promotion heroes have been announced for a special charity evening next month.
On May 7, a special event will take place, bringing together players and staff from the club’s promotion-winning seasons in 1992, 2000 and 2011 for a night of stories, humour and nostalgia.
The event will take place at the Holiday Inn at Thorpe Wood and all proceeds will go towards well-known local charity the Free Kicks Foundation and the Tommy Robson Statue Fund.
Supporters will have the chance to hear first-hand memories from the dressing room, behind-the-scenes insights from key moments, and reflections on the campaigns that secured promotion and created lasting memories.
A whole raft of new attendees have been announced in the recent days. It has now been confirmed that George Boyd, Gaby Zakuani, Mark Tyler, Marcus Ebdon, Gareth Jelleyman, Steve Welsh, Chris Whelpdale and Steve Castle will all be there on the evening.
More exciting guests will be revealed in the coming days. Follow the Free Kicks Foundation to keep up to date with all of the announcements.
Tickets are priced at £65 per person and include a two-course meal. A limited number of VIP tickets are also available for £75, offering a meet-and-greet with the players on the night.
Tickets can be purchased via www.theposhtickets.com.

Steve Thorpe, co-founder of the Free Kicks Foundation, said: “We’re incredibly excited about A Very Posh Evening.
“It promises to be a brilliant night celebrating some fantastic memories, while also helping to raise money to allow us the opportunity to provide more football-related activities for ill, bereaved and disadvantaged children.
“Events like this show the power football has to bring people together, and we’re really grateful to everyone who has helped put the evening together.”
Adi Mowles, from the Tommy Robson Statue Committee, added: It’ll be a great evening to spend with fellow Posh, full of laughs and shared memories.
"This project has taken a very long time for a variety of reasons but this evening should be one last opportunity to get Tommy home. London Road was where he shone on the pitch as well as, for even longer as an ambassador. Some would say this is the last dive.
“There aren’t many opportunities to hear those promotion stories first-hand and share a room with some of the players who made them happen. We’d encourage fans to book their tickets, come along with friends and enjoy a great night while supporting two fantastic causes.”
