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.

Jeff Stelling wasn’t the only person who briefly thought Paul Merson had defied the odds.
