Axed Soccer Saturday stars Phil Thompson, Charlie Nicholas and Matt Le Tissier have launched their own rival TV show, produced by Manchester’s Chief for Paddy Power.
The trio were sacked by the Sky Sports show, fronted by Jeff Stelling, last month. In the new sitcom, titled Pundits, Thompson, Nicholas and Le Tissier share a house and “bemoan their luck after getting shown the door.”
Using at camcorder and with ‘Score Saturday’ plastered on a bedsheet, former Charlton manager Alan Curbishley takes the anchor role to “help the lads get back on their feet.”The first episode of the series was released on Saturday.
