Former footballer Garry Thompson, who played for Coventry City, Aston Villa and West Brom, is set to appear at an event in Warwick next week.

On Thursday December 2, the footballer will be attending an event at the Nelson Club in Charles Street, Warwick, to speak about his book.

He will be joined on stage by former colleagues Gary Shaw (Aston Villa) and Peter Bodak (Coventry City and Manchester City).

Garry will be talking about his career and reminiscing over his career in football which spanned the 1970s, 80s and 90s through his recently published autobiography - Don't Believe a Word.

BBC CWR's Phil Upton will also be attending, taking the former players on a trip down memory lane to provide an insight into their playing careers and reveal a few, never told before, stories from 'back in the day'.

Signed copies of Garry's book will be available on the evening.

Entrance is £3 per person, or £10 for groups of four. Doors open at the Nelson Club at 7.30pm for an 8pm start.
