The spotlight is on Chris Sutton as the Warm-Up host becomes the subject of the latest Warm-Up big interview.
Sitting down with his regular co-hosts, Steven Naismith and Kris Boyd, Sutty looks back on his career, starting with his formative years and journey to becoming a professional footballer at Norwich.
Chris talks about taking flight for the Canaries and leaving the roost for Blackburn Rovers, where he won the Premier League Golden Boot and an historic EPL title under Kenny Dalglish.
He covers the ill-fated move to Chelsea and journey north, to Celtic, where he became one of the greatest players to pull on the Hoops.
And Chris talks about how his career ended, back in England under Martin O’Neill, and about his great strike partners, Henrik Larsson, Alan Shearer, George Weah and which one bought him a tracksuit when he was feeling low...
