Tom Clarke, John Welsh, Paul Gallagher and Chris Humphrey will be appearing on the channel’s ‘Nick Kicks’ programme.

North End skipper Clarke and midfield terrier Welsh will go head to head in a Mr and Mrs style “Teammate Challenge” answering questions about one another - hoping to avoid a pie in the face from Gallagher and Humphrey.

”Stringer added: “Nick Kicks gives football fans a look at their favourite teams that you just can’t find on any other programme. “I am so pleased that we are back and can’t wait for football fans to see what we have in store for clubs this year.”
