Mark Lawrenson was  a regular BBC football pundit for over 25 years often teaming up with old club-mate Alan Hansen.

"Mark was terrific very well received by the audience, very easygoing, not fazed by anything, enthusiastic and everything we could have hoped for from a host. I know that many of the attendees enjoyed talking to him about football and their favourite teams.  We especially found his humour and the question and answer session to be highlights of the day. Please pass on our thanks to Mark for doing such a well-received and professional job that many of our customers will be talking about for some time to come we suspect..!"    Mark hosted and presented the awards at the Reco Floor Awards Lunch - March 2014
