A footballing legend will be in Weymouth tonight for a sell-out event. 

Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne will treat fans to a talk and Q&A session at Weymouth FC's Bob Lucas Stadium.

Tickets sold out for the session in the company of the England legend within 24 hours.

Football fanatics will be able to enjoy an exclusive 'meet and greet' and a printed 9x6 photograph with the star.

Affectionately known as Gazza, the former Newcastle, Tottenham, Rangers and Lazio midfielder was an icon of English football during the 1990s.

He will always be remembered for his dazzling ability on the ball and some of English football's most memorable moments - as well as his off-field antics.

First it was tears at Italia 90 after being booked in the semi-final against West Germany, before his sumptuous volley against Scotland at Wembley during Euro 96 endeared him to football fans across the country.

Gazza's health issues in his later years including his battle with alcohol are well known - but he is still revered by fans and thought to be one of the best England players of all time.

The news of Gazza gracing the club follows on from another sporting legend to have recently appeared at the home of the Terras.

In September, Olympic gold medallist Daley Thompson appeared before the club's Vanarama National League South game against Worthing.

The former Olympic decathlete was at the club to open its new disability facility for fans which includes an HD TV, complimentary beverages, heating, and bi-fold windows for viewing when the weather is poor.
