He's best known for chatting away on the This Morning sofa and now, Eamonn Holmes is taking his conversation to a whole new realm. Combining two of his greatest passions - football and talking - the TV host has launched his very own podcast. And fans are going to love it. The podcast, A Pint with Eamonn and the Gaffers, will see the much-loved presenter cosy up to legendary football managers in pubs across Britain.
The 59-year-old said: "I'm passionate about football and have so many memories of watching the big matches in the pub.

"Sharing a pint with some of the men who were in charge of the teams was such an honour. They offered so much insight to their careers – plus some big opinions on the current Premier League season too. I really hope this new podcast helps unite football fans in their love of the game and reminds them how much fun it can be watching the big matches down the local."

The football-mad This Morning co-host also revealed his favourite spot to watch the game. "There really is no place like the Great British pub," he said. "It's a unique place where people have come together for hundreds of years and is a place where memories, and now podcasts, are made. It's also the place where we tend to be the most vocal about our teams and their rivals. So, where better to sit down for a chat with some of the biggest names in the game?"
