Stick to Football (2023) : 1x133

Gary, Roy and Ian have arrived in New York for the World Cup, and there has already been plenty of action both on and off the pitch! We begin by looking back on their first few days in the USA, from sightseeing around New York to watching the New York Knicks finally win the NBA Championship.
