On Soccer AM...
Friday 27 May 2011 12:17, UK
Patrick Kluivert, Jimmy Bullard and Hard-FI are amongst the guests on the final show of the season!
It's the last Soccer AM of the season and we've got a feast of football and music which you won't find anywhere else! Our first football guest this week is former Ajax and Barcelona star, Patrick Kluivert! Undoubtedly one of the best strikers of his generation, Kluivert remains Netherlands' all-time leading goalscorer, having netted 40 times in just 79 appearances for his country. Brought up through the famous Ajax youth academy, the 34-year-old broke into the first team in 1994 and went on to win a host of titles with his hometown club, including the Champions League and European Super Cup. Following a short-lived spell in Italy with AC Milan, Kluivert joined Spanish giants Barcelona in 1998 in a deal worth £8.75 million, where he was reunited with his former Ajax mentor Louis van Gaal. A season after arriving at the Camp Nou, Barca were crowned La Liga champions, however, it would prove to be his only piece of silverware during his six years at the club. Spells with Newcastle, Valencia, PSV and Lille followed, before in 2008 the Euro 2000 joint-top scorer opted to hang up his boots and begin his coaching career. Currently working with Dutch side N.E.C, we'll be finding out how he is enjoying life as a coach and when he sees himself making the step up into management.Smile
Next down the tunnel will be a man who is such a legend on the show, that he even has an entrance named after him!
Yes, that's right; it's the one and only Mr Jimmy Bullard!
There are tonnes of reasons we love the Hull City midfielder, but none more so than the fact that he always plays the beautiful game with a smile on his face!
Renowned for his brilliant sense of humour, Bullard is the kind of player that even the opposition's fans love and so we're delighted to have him back on the Soccer AM sofas.
Shooting Star
Taking a seat next to our football guests will be the hilarious Angelos Epithemiou!
The Shooting Stars... erm... star has been keeping score on Vic and Bob's show since last year, following his stint as a permanent member of Team B in series six.
Angelos, aka Dan Renton Skinner of sketch troupe Dutch Elm Conservatoire, has become such a favourite amongst fans of the show, that in December he embarked on his first national tour.
His brilliant impersonations and oddball character have found a place in the nation's hearts and we can't wait to see what he has in his carrier bag for us this time!
Now we promised you a feast of music and that's exactly what you're going to get because indie rockers Hard-Fi and Frankie & The Heartstrings will both be playing live on our stage in the Frank McAvennie Park!
But if that lot isn't enough to keep you entertained then fear not because we'll also have all your usual favourites, and lots, lots more, including; a one-on-one Dance Off between our very own Raj and Bas Savage!
Plus, Darren Campbell will dropping in to pick up a cheque on behalf of our charity partners, The Youth Sports Trust, Crystal Palace's stunning cheerleaders will be showing us how they lift the Eagles every home game, and former Saints defender Ken Monkou will be showing us why he's gone into the pancake business!
So tune in to Soccer AM, 10am, Saturday, on Sky Sports 2 and Sky 1 for the last show of the season!
