🎤 Faith, Football & Laughter: A Night with Marvin Andrews & Tam Cowan

On Friday 31st October Lodge Zetland hosted a Sportsman's Dinner speaker night and this was one for the books, an evening that blended heartfelt wisdom with razor-sharp wit, thanks to two unforgettable guests: Marvin Andrews and Tam Cowan.

🙏 Marvin Andrews: Strength, Spirit & Unshakable Belief

Marvin opened the night with a powerful message rooted in faith, resilience, and the beautiful game.

He spoke with humility and conviction, reminding us that setbacks are just setups for comebacks. His mantra—“Keep believing”—echoed long after the applause.

Tam followed with his trademark humour, delivering a masterclass in storytelling. From football commentary to food reviews, he brought the laughs and didn’t hold back. His tales from Off the Ball and beyond had the crowd in stitches, and his sharp takes on Scottish life were as relatable as they were riotous.

What made the evening truly special wasn’t just the star power, it was the atmosphere. A packed room, buzzing with energy, shared laughter and reflection in equal measure. Fans, creatives, and curious minds came together for a night that reminded us of the power of storytelling and community.
