The four-part series will air on Sky Max and Sky Sports this August.<\/p>\n<p>Among those on the receiving end of Richards and Smith\u2019s pranks are Sky Sports legend and former professional footballer and manager Chris Kamara, Lionesses star Jill Scott, Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher and former Spurs and England star Jermaine Jenas.<\/p>\n<p>Danny Fenton, CEO at Zig Zag, commented: \u201cBringing together the infectious Micah Richards in conjunction with Adam \u2018Smithy\u2019 Smith and a series of pranks played on football legends for Sky feels like the perfect entertainment combination.
