Dominic Matteo loves PUNDIT
Here's what Dominic Matteo has said of our game:
"That game was fun. Love the football. Some good questions as well. Some tough questions. It didn't take long for us to get talking. I really enjoyed it and i think it's something that I really would play myself and I think it's really exciting."
And why has he said this?
Well, in 2020, PUNDIT met the famed scotsman and professional footballer in Harrogate near Leeds first and foremost to talk football but also to show him PUNDIT - football's original trivia game.
It was a wonderful night full of nostalgia and stories told by Matteo himself, but he was also impressed by our game. We were very proud to have such an esteemed footballer being a fan of our game.
Since then, Dominic has shared us on his Instagram profile endorsing us even more.
