Pubs in south London and Surrey are holding a competition that will give football fanatics the chance to meet footballer and Sky Sports presenter Chris Kamara.

Teams from around the UK will take part in a series of heats, with the winning teams going forward to the regional heats which will take place in May.

The George on King Street, Twickenham, the Winning Post on Chertsey Road, Whitton, the Willow Tree on Vale Road, Worcester Park, The Bell on Bell Road East Molesey, are all taking part in the event.

The winners of the regional heats will then go forward to the grand final on Saturday, June 2 in Nuneaton, which will be hosted by Mr Kamara – but there will only be one team who will walk away with the £5,000 cash prize.

Chris Kamara said: “People can often talk the talk when it comes to football but I am keen to put the nation’s knowledge to the test to find the UK’s biggest football fans.

“I want to encourage groups of friends across the country to come together for some footy fun and sporting banter – it’s going to be unbelievable.”

To take part in the competition people should visit the pub which is taking part with their team name and contact details.
