Marcus was invited to speak at a special event held at the Boot Room, next to Nottingham Forest's City Ground. The organisers, the Nottingham Hillsborough Survivors Alliance, said: 

"What a great evening. The Green Jumper presentation by Marcus was excellent. Really entertaining stories we hadn't heard before. Everyone had a very enjoyable evening." 

An event to mark 20 years since Brian Clough passed away raised money for a homelessness charity. Marcus was joined on stage by fundraising host Neil Kendrick.

Here's another photo from the event which raised more than £1,000 for the homelessness charity, the Friary, in Nottingham.
