Paul Merson’s hilarious story of asking out Kylie Minogue had Jeff Stelling spinning around
Former Soccer Saturday presenter Jeff Stelling is now the host of a podcast based around the beautiful game.
On Football’s Greatest, he chats each week with a different footballing legend, such as Phil Thompson, Sir Geoff Hurst and his old colleague Chris Kamara.
While chatting with former Arsenal and England player Paul Merson, things went a bit showbiz with a story about the striker-turned-midfielder asking out pop diva Kylie Minogue.
It’s too funny to miss.

Somebody had to say it.
She probably said to him, "You should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky." https://t.co/RQhHGgoHBw
