Gunners legend on stage at Invicta

By David Watters

Folkestone Invicta

Ex-Arsenal forward Perry Groves - now an often outspoken contributor on BBC 5 Live - has been unveiled as the guest speaker at Folkestone Invicta's upcoming Gentlemen's Evening.

Groves, pictured, a regular on 5 Live's Monday Night Football Club and elsewhere on radio and TV, will be on stage at the Ryman South outfit's Stripes Club next month Thursday, November 7.

Now 48, Groves is fast becoming one of the most popular attractions on the after-dinner circuit and Invicta say tickets are now on sale for the dinner priced at £30.

Known to team-mates at his first club Colchester United as 'Snowball', Groves, for reasons he may well divulge on the night, is expected to entertain guests with other anecdotes and tales from his colourful life and career including his six years at Arsenal and 155 appearances for the Gunners.
