Brian McDermott is returning to the town he called home for 15 years, giving a talk at Blue Collar Corner.
The 61-year-old was at the club from 2000 until 2013, and again in 2015/16, taking the club to three FA Cup quarter-finals and a Championship title.
Despite all the success, it was recently revealed that the former Leeds United boss suffered with alcholism and depression for a large part of it after losing the 2011 play-off final to Swansea City.
