The scandalous saga of Jermaine Pennant

Ankle tags. Threesomes with Ashley Cole. Cat murder cover-ups. No one embodied noughties football excess like Jermaine Pennant.

Jack and Zach from The Upshot are joined by Mickey Down (co-creator of HBO/BBC sensation Industry) to delve into the wild life of a Premier League bad-boy.

Starting with his hungover hat-trick on debut for Arsenal, we explore some of Jermaine's most colourful antics and biggest scandals, including some utterly ridiculous tales of boozing, law-breaking and tabloid stitch-ups.

And there will be the odd mention of actual football too.
