Two TalkSPORT stars are set for a special evening at Crewe Alex Football Club this April, with tickets now on sale.

On Friday 10 April, former Scotland striker, Alan Brazil, and ex-Wales international, Dean Saunders, will headline a special night inside Mornflake Stadium's Hybrid Lounge.

The event will feature the two former forwards sharing stories from their playing and broadcasting careers, alongside a three-course meal and entertainment from a stand-up comedian.

Tickets are priced at £75 plus VAT, with supporters and corporate guests expected to attend for what the club describes as a night of football memories, humour and behind-the-scenes tales from the game.

Brazil, 66, enjoyed a successful playing career in the 1980s, most notably with Ipswich Town, before spells with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.

He also represented Scotland 13 times at international level, scoring his only goal in a 2-0 win over Wales in May 1983.

After a recurring back injury forced him to retire from playing, Brazil moved into broadcasting, first working in TV, before becoming one of the most recognisable voices on radio through his long-running presenting role on Talksport.

Saunders, 61, was one of the most prolific Welsh strikers of his generation, playing for clubs including Liverpool, Aston Villa, Galatasaray, Nottingham Forest, Benfica and Sheffield United.

For Wales, Saunders netted 22 goals in 75 appearances, last featuring for his country a few days short of his 37th birthday in March 2001.

Following his playing career, Saunders moved into management, taking charge Wrexham, Doncaster Rovers, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Crawley Town and most recently Chesterfield in 2015.

Since then, Saunders has established himself as a television and radio pundit.

Head of Commercial at Crewe Alex, James Beckett, told Nub News: "We're really excited to welcome Alan Brazil and Dean Saunders to Crewe Alex for what promises to be a brilliant night.

"Both of them have fantastic stories from their playing days at the very top level of the game, but they've also built huge reputations in broadcasting and punditry.

"Events like this are a great way for supporters and local businesses to come together, enjoy a great meal and some entertainment, and hear some unforgettable football stories along the way.

"We're expecting a fantastic atmosphere and it should be a memorable evening for everyone who attends. Tickets are selling fast so secure them now."
