An Evening with Simon Thomas – 18th February

Simon Thomas was as inspiring as ever as he spoke candidly about the challenges he has faced in his life as well as sharing his love for Norwich City and telling wonderful anecdotes about his life on the screen.

Here is a selection of the feedback we received on social media:

A very emotional watch tonight. Such an excellent idea to speak to #ncfc fan @SimonThomasTV @NorwichCityFSC @NorwichCityCSF. Heartfelt words & stories. Showing vulnerability is so important. 2 hours of enjoying life in the moment which, as Simon said, matters so much #thankyou

It was very enjoyable. Fascinating insight to what goes on behind the scenes.

Kathy

It was so refreshing to hear Simon speak so honestly. It was a fantastic evening with a brilliant host in Michael Bailey.

Amy

Just wanted to say what an excellent evening this was. Simon was a superb guest ably assisted by Thomas Jnr who brought his Dad a cup of tea. His life story was fascinating with humour aplenty but also tinged with sadness. Michael Bailey handled the delicate aspects of Simon’s recent life very sensitively indeed.

I would like to thank Diane and the rest of the NCFCS committee for organising a very entertaining event.
