Hosted by Events 105, the night will see the hero of many Falkirk fans in the 1990s talk through his time at the club and share some of his best memories.

The former Aston Villa, QPR and Sheffield United forward made over 60 appearances for the club and despite a glittering career, he enjoyed his football the most at the Bairns.

Stainrod commented ahead of the night that the relationship he had with the fans was unlike any other club he played for.

“I am very excited to be making a rare trip back to my old stamping ground to tell my side of all of the stories from that time.
