In these challenging times, when live football just isn’t possible we know it doesn’t stop you dreaming about the beautiful game.

 

We think it’s your love for the team you support that can act as a ‘pick me up’ – a little tonic to put a smile on your face and the faces of others. That’s why Wickes TradePro have teamed up with talkSPORT to hear from you – the nation’s tradespeople, on the moment you truly fell in love with football.

 

We’ve got £500 in Wickes vouchers to be won for the one we like the most and think is most likely to put a grin on our listeners faces. That entrant will join Jim White live on air to tell all on Friday between 10am -1pm.

 

So, if you’re in the trade and have a story to share please enter below.

 

 

Please note that by entering this competition your information will be used in accordance with Wireless Privacy Policy, and your data will be used to contact you in case you are selected as the winner.
