TENNIS players Greg Rusedski and Gordon Reid helped raise £91,000 for charity by sharing stories of their careers at an event in Glasgow.
More than 400 sports fans gathered for the annual Action for Children Scotland’s Sports Dinner at the Hilton Hotel on Friday.
The night was hosted by sports presenter Peter Martin and guests heard Mr Rusedski talk about a career that saw him reach British number 1 on three occasions, and the final of the US Open, which led to him winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award and ITV Sports Champion of the Year.
He was joined by Alexandria-born Paralympic gold medalist, and two-time singles grand slam champion, Gordon Reid MBE, who won gold in the men's singles event at Rio 2016.
Paul Carberry, director of Action for Children Scotland, said the night "gave fans the opportunity to hear two tennis icons tell the story of their careers".
In aid of disadvantaged children, young people and families in Scotland, the total raised since the sports dinner first launched is almost £650,000.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
