Splendid evening last night as MC at Carmarthen Town AFC's celebrity dinner at the Ivy Bush Royal Hotel, Carmarthen. Guest speaker Jan Molby and comedian Jed Stone were excellent.

This evening I take on my 'compere' role once again to MC the annual Carmarthen Town AFC celebrity dinner at the Ivy Bush Royal Hotel in Carmarthen. The chief guest speaker is Jan Molby. Here is his potted biography - Jan Molby was born on 4th July 1963 in Kolding, Denmark. Jan Molby was signed by Joe Fagan in 1984 for £200,000 from Ajax and had a great career at Anfield. Jan made the transition to Liverpool easily and worked on the accent, quickly becoming a fluent “scouser” which made him a favourite with the crowd. Jan struggled in the team to begin with and had a few critics but Kenny Dalglish gave him a new lease of life after he took over as manager.

There have been a few late withdrawals for the Jan Molby dinner (see details below). As I write, there are three places left! 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 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 ...
