  Stiliyan Petrov: My Battle With Leukemia, HEARTLESS Di Matteo At Villa & Celtic v Rangers 14.09.2026 1h 28min

  This Week, Laura Kirk-Francis & Gabby Agbonlahor are joined by a legend of both Aston Villa and Celtic, Stiliyan “Stan” Petrov! We hear about Stan’s wild youth in Bulgaria with relentless nights out, secret bags of cash, and his love for “Weirdo” Dimitar Berbatov. Petrov arrived in Celtic speaking no English and being paid just £300 a week (while his agent earned 6 figures…) and we find out how he learned English in an unlikely location, Celtic’s unforgettable European nights, and why the Glasgow derby means more than any other game. At Villa, Stiliyan and Gabby reminisce on their time together, argue about who was Martin O’Neil’s “son”, and reveal how they’re still playing football together today alongside their “useless” kids. Stiliyan shares his inspiring and heartbreaking story of his battle with Leukemia and how Roberto Di Matteo stood in the way of his dream return to Villa.
