Pontyclun Football Club will be hosting their Annual Gentlemans Evening on the 5th June at Pontyclun Athletic Club. The Club are delighted to announce that this years guest speaker , will be ex Man Utd and Leeds player, Lee Sharpe.
Lee Sharpe began his footballing career at Torquay United, and in his first season with them, after only 16 games, Manchester United noted his potential and swooped to sign him for £200,000, a record fee at the time for an YTS player.
He soon broke into the first team, initially playing out of position at left back before replacing Ralph Milne as left-winger in the 1990–91 season. He played a key part in United’s success in the European Cup Winners’ Cup that season, and he scored a hat-trick against Arsenal at Highbury in the League Cup with United eventually winning the game 6–2. Lee himself cites this as one of the best memories in his footballing career. During eight years at Old Trafford he played 265 games and scored 36 goals.
The night promises to be one of the best with comedy and compering provided by Tank Sherman and some surprises in store for the auction, which last year included signed shirts from Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez.
Tickets are £35 and include a 4 course meal. As always they sell out fast with a large proportion sold to returning happy guests!
