StuntPegg - Nieve Petruzziello - has for the longest time been one of Jaack's (and Robbie's!) favourite football content creators... so it was about time she made her Happy Hour debut and of course she did not disappoint! In this nearly 2 hour episode, the trio discuss the ups and downs of being raised in Rochdale (a place regularly topping the charts of the worst UK towns). From having her prized possession stolen by a child, to appearing on the Graham Norton show, Nieve's upbringing was far from normal. Nieve also speaks openly about her mental health journey, her dispute with fellow Bolton football vlogger Thogden, as well as adding her very valuable opinion on the controversial character that is Joey Barton. The boys also test Nieve’s mettle as they put her through a gruelling football challenge by giving her random football teams from the 92 professional clubs in England. Can Nieve tell us where each team is positioned and in what league? More so, can she whip out a random fact about each club? From Man City to Morecambe, Liverpool to Luton, Tottenham to Torquay… just how much does StuntPegg REALLY know about the beautiful game? Learn more about your ad choices.
