Sunday mornings just got a whole lot cooler with Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller and Stephen Graham already confirmed as special guests on Jonny Owen's new radio chat show.
Bringing the art of a good old fashioned natter to the talkSport airwaves, Jonny Owen and Friends will cover everything from Adidas trainers to first memories of the Beautiful Game.
The Nottingham Forest director will be taking the reins from 9am to 11am every week starting May 24.
Broadcasting in lockdown for the meantime, Jonny's fiancee, the Bafta winning actress Vicky McClure, will naturally be popping up to say hello while the show records live from their Toton home.
Jonny said: “talkSPORT has always been a part of my life and I can’t wait to get stuck into the new show.
"I really want people to tune in and bask in football culture. There will be big stars, lots of laughter and chat from the worlds of sport, the arts and beyond.
"I hope you can join me and friends for your Sunday mornings on talkSPORT.”
Welshman Jonny of course has form in sporting endeavours and was the director of I Believe in Miracles, the story of the history-making Nottingham Forest team who won back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980.
Head of talkSPORT Lee Clayton said: “Jonny has a fabulous voice, an enormous contacts book and a passion for sport and we are really excited about him joining the talkSPORT team.
"As we brace for the return of live sport, we have an ever-growing line up of star presenters, new programming and specialist content, of which Jonny’s show is a major new part.
"We like to think we’ve kept sports fans smiling through lockdown and we will continue to do so as we move into a bright future of live sport. During lockdown Breakfast got Bigger and now Sundays have too.”
During lockdown talkSPORT has launched a new national breakfast show with Laura Woods, Freddie Flintoff and Ally McCoist plus specialist documentary shows with strikers called Up Front With speaking to some of the biggest names in football.
Jonny Owen and Friends launches on talkSPORT on Sunday, May 24 from 9am-11am.
