LEGEND John Hartson entertained Salisbury fans at a sporting dinner on Friday night.
The Welshman, who was a striker, shared stories at the well-supported event in the Ray Mac.
His career, which spanned more than 15 years, began at Luton Town in 1992. He then joined Arsenal three years later for £2.5 million, which was then a British record transfer fee for a teenager.
At his next port of call, he commanded another record fee, this time £3.2 million, the most West Ham United had ever paid for a player. He also had brief stints at Wimbledon and Coventry City.
In 2001, he moved to Scotland and made 146 appearances for Scottish Premier League side Celtic.
He ended his career at West Bromwich Albion in 2008.
A year after retiring, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, which spread to his lungs and brain, but has since made a remarkable recovery.
There was also an auction of sporting memorabilia and a raffle at the three-course meal.
