GUESS who's coming to dinner? Sean Bean, helping out his old mate Steve Cowens.
Steve, reformed football hooligan and author of Blades Business Crew, is organising a dinner in the Platinum Suite at Bramall Lane where the Sheffield-born actor and fanatical Blades fan is guest of honour.
"I've organised dinners before but this
is the biggest so far," says Steve, who is charging £45 a head and double that for VIP diners, who get to meet the star.
"He's a very good friend of mine. We go back a long way," says Steve, who is also hoping to persuade Paul Heaton to sing at the dinner on November 14.
Definitely lined up is songstress Stephanie King with Gary Sinclair, the Voice of Bramall Lane, compering the night.
