Stick to Football

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by SkyBet. On this week’s special guest episode we turn the tables and have our very own Gary Neville in the hot seat. Ian Wright steps in as host alongside Gary’s former club team-mate Roy Keane, fellow England international Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott to chat about the former Manchester United captain’s career. With 8 Premier League titles, two Champions League, three FA Cup’s, a Club World Cup and 85 England caps on his honours list, the panel talk about his early days in the Old Trafford dressing room and establishing himself as one of the all-time Premier League greats. Gary also reveals his close relationship and admiration of his sporting star siblings Tracey and Phil. He also talks honestly about post-football career that has seen him become a regular football analysist, England’s assistant coach and an infamous spell as Valencia manager. Having previously revealed on Stick to Football that he won the 1999 treble with his boyhood club before he could even do a pull-up, we end the show with a pull-up challenge for Gary and the guests. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by SkyBet. On this week’s special guest episode we are delighted to be joined by American Football legend and Burnley co-owner JJ Watt. Watt announced his involvement with Burnley in 2023 and reveals his special connection with the town and football club, relationship with manager Vincent Kompany and his aims for the future at Turf Moor. Despite a struggling Premier League season following promotion from the Championship, the 6ft5 Wisconsin man reiterates his long-term ambitions and talks about the rise of American footballers investing in English football clubs. Regarded as one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, a competition he and siblings Derek and TJ have made a lasting impact in, Watt offers a unique insight into the difference behind the scenes and structures between America’s and UK’s national sports. The 3x Defensive Player of the Year, who spent the majority of his career at Houston Texans before retiring at Arizona Cardinals, was the first player to make multiple 20+ sacks in multiple NFL seasons speaks and he explains how he used to eat up to 7500 calories a day as well as telling us who he thinks which footballers could make it in the American sport. Finally he talks about how his last NFL game coincided with his new-born son Koa’s first game and life after retirement which has seen him enter football club ownership.
