"Motty" reveals some great moments

Great night with John "Motty" Motson and Ricky George at the Belfry. A change of venue in the Lichfield Suite was a nice touch for the 150 guests and we were extremely well entertained by the commentating legend, who preceded his talk with a wonderful 10 minute compilation of "Motty's Moments" on DVD.

 

"It was a superb Belfry evening as ever" commented Joe Stainer, Chairman of the Sporting Club "to meet up with old friends, share a few stories, a drink or two and hear a commentating legend is a great treat"

 

John raffled one of his infamous prompt cards at the end of the evening for charity.

Brazil has earned a reputation as a fans’ favourite on talkSPORT and began his radio career in Ipswich, with Radio Suffolk, where he was a co-commentator. His easy way of communicating grabbed the attentions of Anglia TV in Norwich, where he got his first TV exposure and later led to appearances on GMTV as well as Andy Gray’s The Boot Room on Sky TV.

British Lions and Ireland Prop Forward Paul Wallace

We enjoyed a wonderful night in the company of Ireland and British Lions prop forward, Paul Wallace on Thursday 22nd October.  Taking the club members through his early life, breaking into the infamous Munster ranks and enjoying professional rugby at Saracens in the early days of professional rugby with greats such as Francois Pieraal, Philippe Sella and Michael Lymugh.  Paul also took us on a unique tour through the 1997 British Lions winning team, unveiling the culture of winning Ian McGeechan engendered against a seemingly superior Springbok team.  Thank you Paul.
