Bill said: "It’s an absolute pleasure to be welcoming one of English test crickets finest bowlers to Springhill CC.
"We are opening the club to the public to come and enjoy this great evening with us as well as presenting awards to some of our brilliant young players."
He added: "We hope to see lots of people there to share this special evening."
This year is the 50th anniversary of Wolves 1974 League Cup victory and fans will be treated to tales of the dressing room.
Bill said: "We have two double league cup winners and a man who was once the world's most expensive footballer in Steve Daley. There Q&A memorabilia, photos and a chance to have a pint with genuine heroes.
"We have done a few with the lads before and it’s great fun. They are wonderful guys with great stories to tell. They say never meet your heroes but these lads prove that wrong they are Wolves legends and brilliant entertainers with wonderful stories and lots of time for the fans."
Tickets are available from the clubs involved on Bill's Facebook.
