I have mentioned Kettering Town several times in the past. Most football fans can remember the whole Kettering Tyres story. It was a pleasure therefore to hear of the activities around a forthcoming league match when many of the Legends of that era will come together……..and there is an exciting shirt side-story (see below.)

The story so far – click here

BUT

On January 17th there will be a very special reunion of the legends of the 70s. Paula Conde-Sharpe sent me this,

“The 50th celebrations are going to be epic. We have 7 of the original players from that legendary team attending the celebrations as our guests in Hospitality. I think that’s pretty incredible!!! They are in their late 70’s and 80’s My dad is one of them!! Kettering Town are just outside the playoffs in the Southern League Premier Central so three points will make it a great day.

This is an exclusive opportunity to experience the club1872 Hospitality Suite alongside true Kettering Town legends, including six of the original 1976 players who proudly wore the pioneering Kettering Tyres shirt, joined by other iconic figures from Kettering and the wider footballing world.

The day begins at 12 noon with engaging talks from our special guests, followed by a two-course meal and a complimentary drink. You’ll also have the chance to meet the manager and players, all of whom will be wearing the iconic Kettering Tyres kit, making this a truly unforgettable celebration of the club’s heritage.

This is a landmark occasion and a historic day of celebration not to be missed.

Places are strictly limited and can be booked via Fanbase accessed via www.ketteringtownfc.com.
