An evening with Linvoy Primus, an ex-Premiership footballer
March 11, 2013 11:01 AM
An exciting opportunity to join us for an informal curry supper at which Phil Mann will interview our guest, Linvoy Primus, an ex-Premiership footballer.
Linvoy spent twenty years as a professional footballer, finishing his career with Premiership club Portsmouth FC. He will share anecdotes and insights into the world of Premier League football including Portsmouth’s battle to avoid relegation and his own struggle to make it in this glamorous but often heartless industry.
Linvoy discovered that even when he did achieve the professional success he craved, fame and fortune did not ultimately make him happy. It was finding faith that transformed both his career and his life and which has caused him to co-found the charity “Faith and Football” which uses football as a platform for community, educational and overseas programmes .
Wednesday 1st May, 7.30pm for 8.00pm at the Saint James Centre, Oxford Road, Gerrards Cross, SL9 7DJ.
Tickets are £12 to include supper, and are available from the Welcome Desk at the Saint James Centre.
