Ok, we at onlinegooner owe a favour or two, and today we are returning one by plugging a dinner that is taking place at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium in a fortnight’s time.

Don’t take this flyer as verbatim. This will be an evening of anecdotes and humour. Not sure who did the marketing for this, but discussion of the current England squad will be probably be limited with the focus on the truth behind Ray Parlour’s encounters with Eileen Drewery and humorous memories of the dear departed Bobby Robson from the players that served under him. And there are a few cracking stories about the great man.

It’s a simple equation – retired players = funny stories. The ones they couldn't tell when they were still playing. It’s an evening of laughter and reminiscence with some familiar football faces. With a three course meal and some free drink thrown in for good measure.

And you can get 10% off the prices on the flyer by mentioning you were made aware of this offer through REDaction.

So Thursday 3rd September. Places are £125 per person (before the 10% off deal), or £1175 per table for ten people (again, quote REDaction and this goes down by 10%).

Contact details to book can be found on the flyer.
