UMF: An Evening with Sporting Legends
Join us for a unique evening where we will hear from three legends of British sport – footballer Gianfranco Zola, F1 champion Damon Hill and golfing great Colin Montgomerie.
Find out what it takes to achieve sporting greatness at this special Ultimate Masterclass Festival triple-header at Aberdeen Music Hall.
After starting out as an apprentice to Diego Maradona at Napoli, Gianfranco Zola went on to become a Premier League great at Chelsea, where he made 229 appearances and won the League Cup, FA Cup, European Cup Winners’ Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
The Italian international – who played in the 1994 FIFA World Cup – has been inducted into both the English and Italian Hall of Fame and has also managed at the highest level.
Damon Hill famously overcame Michael Schumacher to win the 1996 Formula 1 World Championship, after narrowly missing out on the title in 1994 and 1995 in controversial circumstances.
It was a triumph over adversity for Hill and his Williams team following the death of Ayrton Senna at the ’94 San Marino Grand Prix, after which Hill found himself team leader with only one season’s experience in the top flight.
Colin Montgomerie is one of Europe’s most decorated golfers having won 31 European Tour Events and topped the continent’s Order of Merit on eight occasions.
He is also one of the greatest Ryder Cup players of all time, having never lost a singles match in eight outings in the sport’s most prestigious match. He also captained the European Team to victory in the 2010 Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor.
The event is being delivered in partnership with TotalEnergies, The Legends Tour and Staysure.
Show starts: 7.30pm
