Bruce Grobbelaar at CGSSC

Friday, 20th April 2007

Another famous international paid a visit to Crawley Green when Zimbabwe and Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar was the guest speaker at the latest sportsman's dinner - this time opened to both lady and gentleman members.

Bruce gave a superb speech, recalling his days as an amateur in Zimbabwe to how he overcame his residential difficulties to gain a work permit in this country and his European Cup final"wobbly knees' routine during the penalty shoot-out.

Another excellent dinner provided by our usual caterers and an hilarious hour of comedy from Ian "Sludge' Lees ensured that members and guests once again had an outstanding evening.

Below are some pictures of the evening:
