Discovery has ordered a new series following Peter Crouch as he attempts to breathe life into a non-league football club.
The former Liverpool striker will join the board of directors of the unnamed club for the upcoming 2021-22 season and cameras will follow his attempts to bring the side success on and off the pitch.
Tentatively called Save Our Beautiful Game, the eight-part series has been commissioned for Discovery's recently launched streaming service discovery+.
Simon Downing, head of content for sport at Discovery, said: "We're beyond thrilled to welcome Save Our Beautiful Game to discovery+.
"The series takes us through an important narrative of community-loved grassroots sports interwoven with heart-lifting scenes of Peter's homecoming to support local teams.
"It's a fantastic story that will undoubtedly resonate with Discovery's passionate sports fans!"
The show, which will also feature Crouch's wife Abbey Clancy, is expected to debut later this year. body check tags ::
