Summary

In an effort to become podcasting's version of UK Gold, we're spinning it back and replaying the glory days of QK every Tuesday and Thursday. This is: QK Reloaded. We'll be playing through our original episodes in release order. And this is... Arch-Gooner and Soccer Saturday's finest, Paul Merson. This episode was first released on 20th March 2017. --- This week we're joined by the legendary Paul Merson to discuss playing for England, Steve Morrow getting suplexed by Tony Adams after winning the League Cup, living with Gazza and much more. We have some awful examples of footballers acting, plus there's a wonderful listener contribution on the subject of having a childhood kick-about with an actual real-life 90s footballer.
