The latest 'View from Richmond Park' column from the Carmarthen Journal -
Carmarthen Town AFC will hold their annual celebrity dinner on Friday, May 20, at the Ivy Bush Royal Hotel Carmarthen.
This year's principal guest speaker will be Jan Molby, a superb football pundit and after-dinner speaker.
Molby became manager of Swansea City in February 1996, but was sacked in October 1997, along with his assistant, Billy Ayre. He had taken Swansea to the Division Three play-off final five months earlier, but they lost to a last-minute goal by Northampton's John Frain.
Molby was a Danish international and played in the Mexico World Cup. He signed for Liverpool from Ajax in 1984, becoming popular on and off the field, quickly becoming a fluent “scouser”.
He played 292 games for Liverpool, scoring 61 goals and winning two League Championships and two FA Cups.
The celebrity dinner has become a firm favourite on the sporting calendar and is always a sell-out. The funds raised will go directly to support Town’s prestigious community projects.
Tickets can be reserved by contacting Jeff Thomas, 55 Bronwydd Rd, Carmarthen SA31 2AP or by phone : 01267 236227) or email: jeffthomas@jeffthomas.plus.com
