Former striker Steve Torpey will be the special guest for the restaurant Q&A, with hospitality on sale now for the Iron's home league encounter against Gloucester City on Saturday, November 11th (3pm kick-off).
The acquisition of Steve Torpey in January of 2000 proved to be money well spent. A then-record fee of £200,000 was paid to Bristol City to bring the striker to Glanford Park, and he would be a massive success in the seven-and-a-half years he would stay at the club.
Sitting at sixth in the Iron's all-time goalscoring record with 74 goals, Torpey's debut came against Cardiff City in a goalless encounter at Glanford Park with his first strike for the club coming two games later as Reading were the visitors.
Across his spell at the club, he would become notorious as a presence leading the line for the club, and would often throw his weight - and elbow - about, resulting in a handful of dismissals across his career.
Going out on a high, he celebrated promotion to the Championship with the Iron in 2006-07 before departing at the end of the season. His final game saw him picked to start against Carlisle United, the last match of the season, for the first time in 22 league games. He would receive a standing ovation when replaced on the hour mark, signalling the end of his time with the club. He signed for League Two side Lincoln City following his departure.
