Southampton FC legend Francis Benali is set to entertain crowds at this year's Isle of Wight Literary Festival.
The Saints hero will be discussing his illustrious football career and his remarkable fundraising efforts.
The festival, held from October 8 to 12 at Northwood House in Cowes, will welcome around 50 esteemed authors, including Gyles Brandreth and Dame Prue Leith.
The event, described as one of the Island's largest cultural gatherings, will also feature music, poetry, and culinary delights.
Maggie Ankers, festival chairman, said: "We have a wonderful line up of authors this year and hope the Island public and visitors will come along and enjoy a whole range of thought-provoking talks and demonstrations.
"Our special events, including the musical finale with Rula Lenska, add an extra dimension to the festival, making it an exciting four-day spectacle."
Tickets are still available and can be bought on the Isle of Wight Literary Festival's website.
