ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH, FL, October 27, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The 1985 Bears Super Bowl Championship winning team are reuniting for one night only to celebrate Chicago's Super Bowl XX win.
The official reunion, the Allstate GLORY DAYS Legends of the Chicago Bears 25th anniversary, kicks off with a breakfast club meeting between Coach Mike Ditka and Coach Buddy Ryan. It is the first time the two will be side-by-side in years. Comic and entertainer Tom Dreesen will bring the two football greats together for the breakfast and later host the official reunion show.
Coach Ditka said: "Everyone thinks they know about me and Buddy and so much has been written about our relationship. It will be good to catch up after all this time. We can throw a little light on those rumours and stories!"
The evening will be a mixture of storytelling and live entertainment as the legends re-live Chicago's only Super Bowl win. Chicagoan John Vincent and local band 7th heaven will entertain the audience.
