John Lewis teams up with footballer Lenell John-Lewis as an exciting summer of football approaches
John Lewis has made one of the most surprising signings this summer, bringing in National League’s Boston United striker Lenell John-Lewis just in time for an exciting few months of football.
After years of fans singing the catchy chant “his name is a shop,” Lenell John-Lewis has finally teamed up with his namesake. It might not be the transfer everyone expected, but it could be just what you need to take your game-day hosting to the next level!
New research from John Lewis shows that 58% of people in the UK plan to watch most of this summer’s top matches from their sofas. With late kick-offs, busy pubs, and the chance of missing a goal because the bathroom line is too long, it’s easy to see why.
The study also found that 81% think having a great TV setup is key for hosting, but one in six feel their current setup isn’t quite up to scratch and feels more like the “subs bench” than a premium viewing spot.
That’s where John Lewis can help.
Why choose John Lewis for your match-day setup?
John Lewis is the perfect place to upgrade your home viewing before this big summer of football. They offer a fantastic range of big-screen TVs and immersive sound systems so you won’t miss a single pass, tackle, replay, or VAR decision.
Plus, they price match* against 25 top retailers like Amazon and Currys for electricals, and every TV comes with a five-year guarantee** for peace of mind (T&Cs apply*).
Since nearly 80% of people have missed key moments while watching football at pubs, thanks to long queues, blocked screens, or loud noise, setting up your own big-game space at home has never made more sense.
Of course, watching at home has its own challenges — like friends chatting through crucial moments or asking to pause the game for a quick break.
That’s why Lenell John-Lewis is here to share his matchday tips, helping everyone create the ultimate home setup this summer — from picking the right TV to dialing in the perfect sound volume so you don’t miss a single cheer, roar, or referee’s call. If anyone knows football, it’s “The Shop”!
What makes a TV great for sport?
Not all TVs are built the same for watching football at home. New tech like AI motion-blur reduction helps you follow the fast-moving ball, while bright Mini-LED displays reduce glare during sunny afternoon kick-offs. A high frame rate means smoother action when the game speeds up.
For evening matches, OLED TVs create a cinematic feel with deep contrast and rich colors, bringing the big-game atmosphere right to your living room. Wide viewing angles mean everyone gets a great picture no matter where they sit, and a strong refresh rate keeps fast moves smooth and clear.
Whether you’re watching every game solo, hosting friends for the big matches, or simply want your setup to match the tournament spirit, now is the perfect time to get ready.
Because this summer, the best seat in the house might just be your own!
