An Exclusive Business Lunch Experience
Imagine spending an afternoon with one of England’s most iconic footballers.
Not from the back of a crowded conference room. Not from the audience of a sportsman’s dinner.
But seated around the table, sharing lunch, conversation and stories with former England international David Platt.
Following the success of our inaugural Lunch With A Legend event, BW3 and Baguley Athletic FC are delighted to launch a new programme of exclusive Lunch Club events for the 2026/27 season.
Designed for business leaders, professionals and football enthusiasts alike, each event offers a rare opportunity to hear first-hand stories from David’s remarkable career, from Italia ’90 and World Cup football to life in management and coaching.
What To Expect
- An intimate lunch with David Platt
- A premium dining experience with wine included
- The opportunity to ask questions and join the conversation
- Networking with fellow business leaders
- A relaxed and informal atmosphere
- Opportunities to entertain clients or reward colleagues
Unlike traditional sports dinners, numbers are deliberately limited to create a more personal experience where every guest has the opportunity to engage directly with David.

- Thursday 12th November 2026

“David reads the room incredibly well. Open, honest and incredibly humble… The reason guests purchase tickets is to see, meet, listen to and chat with David Platt. BW3 ticked those boxes without question.” – Barry Gavahan, Group CEO, DES Group
“I was fortunate to join a select group of business people for lunch with England legend David Platt. There were some amazing stories and topical insights from the world of football, travel and culture – all whilst enjoying a fine Italian lunch at TRIBE Manchester Airport”– John McHugh, Senior Director – Head of Place & Community at CBRE UK
