Peter Crouch says:
“This tournament has been a long time coming but it’s finally here! Maya, Alex and myself can’t wait for the games to start and for the nation to go Euros crazy. We will be dissecting the highs and lows of the action, plus having a chat to loads of top guests. Whatever the outcome, we will be having a good laugh along the way with a surprise or two for sure! Honestly, I can’t wait.”
Cultbox visitors with long memories will no doubt be reminded of the various Baddiel & Skinner Fantasy Football shows, that led to (among other things) the famous collaboration with The Lightning Seeds that gave us the immortal Football’s Coming Home. Will Crouchy be demonstrating his own musical skills? There’s only one way to find out!
