The Show was originally a post-match Series for the Euro 2020, but, of course, football games have been abandoned among the many events, because of the Corona Virus pandemic.

"The Euro is deleted, Glastonbury cancelled, are cancelled the Olympic games, Wimbledon cancelled. It is not a great Summer it has?", Crouch says.

"we thought we needed to bring a smile to the faces of The People , so that, instead of making it to the Euro, we have tried all of these things. "

The Format has now turned into a wider Saturday Night show fusing sports, music and entertainment.

"Some of The People that were suppose to be declared in the Olympic games, the logged-friendly way, and we have to be running a tournament," Crouch. "We have to play The People from Live gigs and some amazing guests.

"I think it is, what to distract The People from what is about to happen. It is going to be Fun . "

"I was confident all the way, and as soon as we jump ahead a bit, that's when I began to lose it. If I jumped, I've never been so cold. My feet were like blocks of ice, and somehow took the joy of the whole process. "

One of The Most important benefits of Getting In front of the camera, he adds, was to keep busy in a Time when many retired Players are feeling at a Loose End .

"I was so scared about retiring from football. To observe, you hear stories about people fighting and sit there, not much to do, Loose Women ," he says.
