Giggs, Brown & O’Shea to take centre stage at special fan event in Manchester
Manchester United fans have the chance to rub shoulders with a trio of club icons – including all-time great Ryan Giggs – at a special fan event being held at Hotel Football next month.
The unique opportunity being staged on November 21st will give guests the chance to get up close and personal with Giggs, plus his former teammates Wes Brown and John O’Shea.
The players, who made more than 1,700 appearances combined for United, helped define an era of dominance for the club from the late 1990s up until Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.
From behind-the-scenes dressing room stories to career-defining moments and reflections on life after football, the evening promises candid, unscripted insights from the heart of the club’s golden years.
The event will be staged at Hotel Football, which is just a stone’s throw away from Old Trafford – the ground that made all three players household names among football fans throughout the city.
With various ticket packages available, guests have the opportunity to enjoy a Q&A, VIP reception, and have a photo with the players, with premium options also including matchday tickets and a hotel stay.
Giggs is the most decorated player in British footballing history, winning 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, and four FA Cups over an astonishing 23-year career.
Brown was part of the historic 1998–99 treble-winning squad, along with Giggs, and went on to win several domestic honours, along with O’Shea who also earned over 100 caps for Ireland.
Event ticket packages:
Gold (£129): Includes a three-course dining experience, live Q&A with the legends, auction, and entertainment.
Platinum (£299): All Gold benefits plus a VIP reception in the Players’ Lounge, professional photo with the legends, signed shirt, and complimentary drinks.
Accommodation Packages: From £432 for two guests with Gold tickets.
For guests who want to make a long weekend of it, Hotel Football is also offering a number of excellent hospitality packages for the Manchester United vs Everton game the following Monday.
From pre and post-match hospitality to a Q&A with a United legend, matchday tickets and a stay at the hotel, there’s a package for everyone on the Hotel Football website.
Jessica Southworth, Director of Sales and Marketing at Hotel Football, said: “Welcoming Ryan Giggs, Wes Brown, and John O’Shea, three players who have left an indelible mark on the club’s history, is a true honour.
“This event isn’t just about nostalgia, it’s about connecting fans with the stories, personalities, and moments that shaped an era.
“Alongside our matchday hospitality, this evening reflects our commitment to being more than just a hotel, we’re a hub for football culture, memory, and community.”
The event comes weeks after Hotel Football was shortlisted once again at the World Travel Awards, reinforcing its reputation as a premier destination for football fans and visitors to Manchester.
