Summary
This week's guest on Off The Hook is former Norwich striker turned pro-wrestler Grant Holt.
Grant is one of the few players to have played at every level of English football, from non-league all the way up to the Premier League.
He joined Jimmy in Chichester Harbour and (eventually!) headed out for an unforgettable day of mackerel fishing under the watchful eye of skipper Mac.
They reminisced about Paul Scholes masterclasses, Delia Smith's infamous outburst, their shared love of 90s wrestling and caught a bucketload of mackerel in the meantime.
