Free Panini and Mepham looking to Conker Clarets

'Twas was the match before Christmas, the programme Chris Mepham was in, on a tour of the distillery where they make Conker Gin.

With each edition of MATCHDAY bought on Saturday, supporters will also be given a FREE copy of Panini's great new Football 2020 sticker album, along with a FREE pack of stickers to get their collection started.

Mepham's musings

After his return to the first team, and a stand-out performance in last weekend's massive win at his old club Chelsea, Mepham talked through what has been an action-packed year for him.

From signing with a Premier League club to qualifying Wales for their third-ever international tournament, the defender spoke in depth on how he's taken everything in.

...And he did it all while wearing a Christmas cracker of a classic Cherries shirt and walking around the Conker gin distillery in Southbourne.

Cox and Christmas

Cherries legend Ian Cox returned to Dean Court earlier in the season, and with Saturday's match pitching two of his former sides together, MATCHDAY spoke with the former centre-back to discuss his latest chapter in life with AFC Bournemouth.

Elsewhere, Andrew Surman talks through his Christmas with three children and a busy Premier League schedule of fixtures, and finding the all-important balance.

Posters, stickers and festive cheer

With the big day just around the corner, as well as our Panini stickers giveaway younger supporters can fold-out a massive Chris Mepham poster along with MATCHDAY's Extra Time section, full of quizzes, fun info and photos to give the lowdown on Burnley.
