Comedy legend Dan O’Reilly aka “Dapper Laughs" takes on a critical challenge to see if he can become the ultimate football fan, even though the top ‘lad’ has never liked football in his life! Could his head be turned by too many balls?
Dan is determined to find out why football is such a ‘fan obsessed’ sport and see if he has this latent love for football. But the real questions are, if he doesn’t, can he still a lad? Will this quest end in glory or failure?
