Published: 5 January 2023

The son of World Cup winner and football legend Nobby Stiles will be speaking at a charity event in Exeter in March.

John Stiles will be speaking at Exeter’s historic Guildhall about his dad and how dementia affected his family.

The talk is part of the Lord Mayor of Exeter’s Charity Wine and Canapes Evening on Wednesday 8 March, between 6pm and 9pm.

All proceeds from the event will go to the Lord Mayor of Exeter’s chosen charity, the Exeter Dementia Action Alliance.

John will be talking about the story of the “little man”, his dad Nobby Stiles, who against the odds became a World Cup Football Champion.

He will also share his family’s journey with Nobby’s dementia. There will also be an opportunity for all guests to ask John any questions in the Q&A section at the end.

The event, which is sponsored by Rodney Spiller Wealth Management, Southern Healthcare, Devon Contract Waste, will also include an auction, raffle and the opportunity to have a personalised cartoon drawn by cartoonist, Tony Husband.

Tickets, priced £22, are available from the Exeter Corn Exchange website at https://www.exetercornexchange.co.uk/whats-on/john-stiles-remembers-his-dear-dad-nobby/
