‘Solicitor Saturday’: Law Firm Releases Surreal Personal Injury-Themed Sky Sports Spoof

By |

For those unfamiliar with the show, Sky Sports' 'Soccer Saturday' sees washed-up ex-footballers offer excitable commentary on unfolding events in the Premier League every week. Neither its format nor its content is obviously analogous with personal injury law.
