Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher and local comedian Mike Lodge head the bill at this Friday's Hall Road Rangers Sportsperson's Dinner.

Gallagher was a top-flight official for 15 years, from the inauguration of the Premier League in 1992, to his retirement in 2007.

He was also a FIFA-listed referee for eight years, and was a match official at Euro 96.

Meanwhile, comedian Lodge has been performing since he was just nine years old, making him one of the most experienced entertainers on the local circuit.

His career has seen him support the likes of Tommy Cooper, Ken Dodd, Paul Daniels, Russ Abbott, Cannon and Ball, Joe Longthorne, Roy Walker, Duggie Brown, and Brian Conley, and as well as possessing a fabulous singing voice, he performs incredible portrayals of Elvis, Tina Turner, Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, Boy George, Gary Glitter, Sammy Davis Jr, and Liza Minnelli.

Tickets are ?20, and with that, you'll get a three course meal, with all funds going towards helping Hall Road Rangers Football Club.

It's on Friday, March 16th, at Dene Park, and the evening kicks off at 7.30pm.
