TWO former teammates who earned reputations as ferocious midfielders will be reunited to tackle fans’ questions this October.
Kevin Ball and Alex Rae both played for Sunderland under Peter Reid in the late 1990s, developing a formidable partnership in the middle of midfield.
Now they will be the special guests at Hard Tackles and Lasting Impressions at the Stadium of Light on Thursday, October 8.
There will be a drinks reception, two-course meal, comedy and a question-and-answer session.
Tickets are £20 per person. To book, call 0871-911-1555.
Ball is now the club's senior professional development coach, while Rae works for Belgian club KRC Genk.
Meanwhile, Sunderland AFC has extended its partnership with Global Radio for another year. It will mean events and offers are promoted via Heart and Capital FM.
