GRIMSBY Town are set to welcome ex-striker Tony Rees back to the club on Saturday – for the crunch encounter with Bristol Rovers.
The Welshman has agreed to be the Mariners Trust's special guest at the upcoming Conference fixture at Blundell Park, which sees two of the league's big hitters go head-to- head.
Rees, who is remembered at the club for his back heels and flicks, scored 33 goals in 141 appearances for Town.
He also gained a Welsh Under-21 cap, and then went on to represent his country at senior level.
Meanwhile, tickets are selling well for the top of the table clash.
They are available online, by calling 01472 605050, or by calling into the Blundell Park ticket office.
Tickets are available at Early Bird prices until noon on Saturday.
