Secret Santa, Parties & Football At Christmas! | Stick to Football EP 11

Welcome back to Stick To Football for our Christmas Special episode.
We are back with a full-fit squad with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott who kick-off the show with their hilarious Secret Santa gifts.
The panel catch up on their week before delving into what life is like as a football over the Christmas period.
From parties, preparations and disruptions as a player to a manager, Gary, Jamie, Roy, Ian and Jill relive hilarious anecdotes from their careers in our festive special hour whilst tucking into a traditional Christmas Dinner.
Super 6 is also back and Ben is in festive spirits sporting an elf outfit as Gary and Roy go head-to-head. Gary has built a strong lead over Roy and there’s a £1m jackpot up for grabs on the Super 6 app.
Finally we end the show with your Community questions. Will Nuno Espirito Santo be a success at Nottingham Forest? Are Premier League managers getting out of hand? And should we scrap extra-time after 90-minutes when a match ends as a draw and go straight to penalties instead?
If you liked the episode don't forget to let us know in the comments and if you want to listen only you can catch Stick to Football on all major podcast platforms.
We have plenty more special podcasts to be released over the festive period, so subscribe now so you never miss an upload.
We hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This is quickly becoming my favourite football show on KZbin. No messing, just five football friends having a good old chat.

[@JM91x]

What is your favourite currently?

[@byronbrigden]

100% an it’s not just because they’re ex players. It’s their characters because of the era’s they grew up in. 99% of other football podcasts are just younger people with zero personality, talking absolute garbage.

Watching this feels bizarrely great. I‘ve only known this show for a few weeks, but it‘s almost like being on a Christmas party with your old footie mates, whereas it‘s actually five former top players with a solid collection of trophies under their belt. Brilliant.

[@jonwilliams3664]

Keano in the Jungle would be absolute comedy gold. Everybody and I mean everybody would tune in. The man is an absolute legend😂

[@briandolan6829]

Great Show. Thx. Of course Wrighty won't remember, but I played against him in a Sunday league match over 40 years ago. Cup match. I played for the 'Prince of Wales' and he played for 'Ten Em Bee'. We knew he was on Crystal Palace's books. We lost 3-0. he was so fast. Scored 1 goal and crashed a shot against the Bar from 25 yards on the volley straight from a corner. Best player I ever played against. Great to see he has become a humble man.
