An Evening with Grant Holt and Simeon Jackson

Grant Holt and Simeon Jackson are linking up once more to become the latest star guests for Sporting Knights as it hosts an evening with the pair at the Duke's Head Hotel in King's Lynn on Thursday September 10.

Holt, who rose from non-League to the Premier League, scored 78 goals in 168 appearances during a four-season spell at Norwich. He won the club's player of the season award three times in a row from 2010 and was also the Canaries' top goalscorer in each of those three years. Jackson, who plied his trade at Carrow Road from 2010-2013, will be forever remembered for his home hat-trick against Derby County in a 3-2 victory - which included an injury-time winner - and scoring the goal at Portsmouth that got the club promoted back to the Premier League.

There'll be stories and laughs aplenty as Holt teams up with host Gavin Caney for the third time, this time bringing his old strike partner along for the ride for what should be a memorable evening for NCFC fans in West Norfolk and beyond.

For those looking to make an extra special Knight of it, the Duke's Head are pulling out all the stops to put on two special deals for ticketholders that are only available on September 10 - a reduced bedroom rate and 25% off food (see T&Cs for full details). Throw in VIP meet and greet access, the chance to win signed items and some cracking silent auctions memorabilia, this is an event you really won't want to miss!

The Sporting Knight is being sponsored by ScaffCycle and ADB Electrical.
