GALA DINNER HOST AND SPEAKER ANNOUNCED

Ahead of our United for 100 Years Gala Dinner, we are excited to confirm our host and guest speaker!

EVENT HOST

Willie Allan

Willie has been on the after-dinner circuit since 1992 and describes his style as a “disruption of expectation”. Following a background in both sport and education, his reputation as a speaker, chair and auctioneer has been forged in a variety of venues from local clubs to the top hotels and conference centres in the UK.

Willie will be recognised by United fans as the auctioneer at our Champions ’83 Dinner back in February - demonstrating his quick wit and personable humour.

GUEST SPEAKER

Neil Forsyth

Neil is an award-winning Scottish writer, author and journalist with a knack for blending humour, satire, and social commentary. He is perhaps best known for his smash-hits "Guilt" and "The Gold" as well as the legendary "Bob Servant Independent". 

His work has resonated with both readers and viewers, and he continues to be a prominent figure in the world of Scottish literature and entertainment.

On the night, Neil will pay tribute to our one-hundred-year history with his sharp humour and unique storytelling style.

Neil said, “It's a great honour to be asked to be part of what will be a very special and memorable evening for the club.”

HALL OF FAME

We will mark the occasion with two new inductees into the Dundee United Hall of Fame for the first time since 2019.

Both will be in attendance and announced ahead of the event along with the many other legendary ex-players who will be making an appearance on the night.
