SAINTS fans will not want to miss what legendary wingman Tom van Vollenhoven says will be his last ever visit to St Helens when he flies from South Africa for the three day Farewell Festival at the club's historic Knowsley Road stadium.

And we have four family tickets to be won for the Sunday Farewell Extravaganza worth £25 each in a special competition.

The flying Springbok is jetting back along with Cliff Watson and Dick Huddart to take part in the historic Saints Farewell Festival at Knowsley Road in October.

The three were chosen in the club’s 17 Greatest Saints and alongside the likes of Alex Murphy, Kel Coslett and George Nicholls, will attend the blue ribbon Greatest 17 dinner on Friday, October 15.

“It’s an honour to be selected in the team and be a part of the Saints farewell celebrations,” Vollenhoven said. “I hold St Helens close to my heart and to see so many greats in one room will be fantastic.

“I’m looking forward to arriving in England for what will be my last visit to the country.”

Second-rower Huddart and prop forward Watson will join Tom at the Greatest 17 Dinner which is the first event in the club’s stunning Farewell Festival.

The Greatest 17 Dinner on Friday, October 15 will be a black-tie dinner held in a giant marquee on the Knowsley Road pitch, the scene of so many great memories.

The evening promises to be a once in a lifetime event for Saints diehards, a night of real emotion and nostalgia, reviving many wonderful memories of the old ground.

Tickets are £99 per person including a lavish three course meal and live entertainment. Special Premium Packages are also available.
