SAINTS legend Danny Wallace returns to St Mary's tomorrow night - just one month before the biggest challenge of his life.

The inspirational former winger, who is now suffering from multiple sclerosis, is currently in training to tackle the London Marathon on April 17.

Wallace now struggles to walk just a few hundred yards, but believes he can complete the gruelling 26.2 mile course in around four days to raise money for his multiple sclerosis charity, the Danny Wallace Foundation.

The 41-year-old, though, is taking time out from his training schedule for his testimonial dinner at Saints tomorrow night.

It promises to be an evening to remember with the likes of former boxer Michael Watson, ex-England star Ian Wright and European Cup winner Jimmy Case all in attendance.

Watson who fought back from life-threatening brain injuries following his world title fight with Chris Eubank, has become a major inspiration to Wallace in his bid to complete the marathon.

The former Commonwealth middleweight champion famously finished the London Marathon two years ago and has been giving Wallace some training tips.

"Michael Watson is amazing - when he did the London Marathon, it really inspired me," said Wallace.

"I know it is going to be hard - it is going to hurt - but I'm sure I can do it. I don't mind a bit of pain and discomfort as it is for a good cause."

Wallace still holds the record as Saints' youngest ever player when he made his debut against Manchester United under Lawrie McMenemy at the age of just 16 years and 313 days.

He went on to delight Dell crowds for a decade before moving to Manchester United and helping Sir Alex Ferguson lift the 1990 FA Cup - his first trophy as Old Trafford boss.

Wallace's career was then cut short by the onset of MS and he has spent the last ten years coming to terms with his condition.

Close-friend and former Saint George Lawrence will join Wallace on his marathon walk and admits he has really seen the difference in the past year.

He said: "Just before the testimonial match last year he started getting excited, I think he needed something to get his teeth into.

"He is forming his own charity and that will be good for getting him out and about.

"He is out there doing his training and has spoken to Michael Watson. But I don't think it will be straight-forward, I will be amazed if he does it in the time he is aiming for, but I guess it doesn't matter how long it takes.

"He has got the bit between his teeth and he is going for it. We have got some old players, current players and some celebrities joining in.

"I think this charity work is ideal for him really. It gets him out of the house and there is so much he can do."

A website will soon go live where supporters can make donations to MS at www.dannywal-lace.co.uk

Ticket prices for tomorrow's dinner are £55 per person or £550 for a table of ten. The evening includes a three-course dinner, a guest speaker and live music.
