BIG names in the world of football are warming up for shows at Weymouth Pavilion.

World cup hat trick hero Sir Geoff Hurst will talk about his illustrious career on Thursday, March 19 while King of the Jungle and former manager Harry Redknapp will be in town to appear at the theatre on Thursday, April 16.

This will be the first visit to Weymouth Pavilion for Sir Geoff, who is back on tour by popular demand after a successful year in 2019.

He will talk amusingly about his time playing for West Ham and England while the second half will be a question and answer session with the audience. Geoff will be joined on stage by his great friend and agent Terry Baker from A1 Sporting Speakers who will once again be asking the questions.

It promises to be a great event for football fans.

Harry Redknapp toured 50 venues with his live show last year and brings it to Weymouth Pavilion for the first time on April 16.

The former Southampton and Portsmouth manager's relaxed and funny style will regale the audience with stories old and new from his football and TV career. This is said to be one of the funniest, most entertaining talk shows on the circuit.
