Jim is joined by the star of Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week and 8 Out of 10 Cats, Dane Baptiste, as he steps up as player-manager of his dream five-a-side team. 

With a particularly impressive balance of quality and outright skullduggery, Dane’s side is revealed among tales of dad-vendettas, the low quality of British football nicknames and training ground recreations of Goodfellas.

Warning: features a highly creative use of the substitute rule and some of the finest abs known to mankind.
