Two Leeds Utd legends to share stories at King’s Hall Ilkley

Leeds United fans are invited to a special live event at King’s Hall, Ilkley on Tuesday 29 September, as former strikers Jermaine Beckford and Michael Bridges take the stage for an evening of memories, laughter and football insight.

Hosted by ex-Premiership player Andy Couzens, An Evening with Beckford & Bridges will revisit iconic moments from Elland Road, including Beckford’s famous Old Trafford winner and Bridges’ role in Leeds United’s early 2000s Champions League run.

The event promises a mix of storytelling and fan interaction as Beckford and Bridges reflect on their playing days and the dressing-room culture that shaped some of Leeds’ most talked-about matches. Attendees can expect behind-the-scenes anecdotes, analysis of pivotal moments, and candid discussion about life during the highs of cup glory and European nights. Andy Couzens will guide the conversation, drawing on his own Premiership experience to add perspective and provoke lively banter.

Jermaine Beckford will recount his unforgettable FA Cup strike at Old Trafford — a goal that remains a high point for many Leeds supporters — while Michael Bridges will look back on the club’s run in the Champions League and the squad dynamics that took Leeds onto the continental stage. Together, the trio will explore how those moments influenced their careers and the club’s legacy, and they’ll take audience questions to bring fans closer to the action.

VIP tickets are available offering opportunities for photos and autographs, making the event a memorable occasion for supporters seeking a personal connection to the club’s past.
