Hide AdPreston-born Jones who was an understudy to Sir Tom at PNE, said: “It was an honour and privilege to play and train alongside Sir Tom during the 1950s.
“Sir Tom was such a good football ambassador for both Preston and England and I’m looking forward to reminiscing about him.”
The event , in partnership with the PNE Former Players Association, starts at 7pm and tickets cost £10 with proceeds going to several charities.
There will be a football quiz, hotpot supper and musics from acoustic duo Darren Jackson and Ben Ainsworth.
