Mr Taylor said: “I’m really looking forward to visiting different places and meeting new people.

“I always planned to play the exhibition circuit more after over 30-years at the top of the professional game and I’m determined to enjoy it.

“Whitby is a cracking seaside town and I’m looking forward to my visit. It should be a fun night but you never lose that competitive streak and I’ll be wanting to win.”
