Jeff Stelling

[KhonKaenSeasider]

Just announced he is leaving Soccer Saturday and Sky after 25 years and 30 years respectively.

Good luck Jeff!

 

[20togo]

yep, he really is the master of his trade. An ultimate professional absolutely the perfect fit for the job. I'd imagine the guy who occasionally covers for him might get the job and to be fair he's pretty good too.

 

[tangerine.com]

Watched him from the beginning

 

[cruzzer]

Sky don’t do “older” presenters, and they need to tick some more PC boxes after the beeb brought in Alex Scott on FF.

Edit to add, this PC world is driving me mad!

 

[LimerickTangerine]

Show will never be the same, although it went crap once the 3 lads got replaced by fools

 

[Pool fan in kendal]

If they lose Merson they’re fucked. on the very limited times I watch them which is about three times a season I actually prefer the BT sport one.

 

[Blackpool-rocks]

He is 66, probably wants to take things a bit easier and watch Hartlepool. He's been brilliant over the years, just get the feeling he's not been happy with the changes in the last few years.

 

[Excalibur]

..... Gillette soccer Saturday was on free view until sky realised it was on in every pub at 3 on a Saturday and very popular...

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

Cue some woman to take his place.

Merson mas as well leave and the show is finished

 

[PNENIL]

They kept the wrong one in Merson, just surviving on his past name but lazy who won't even learn how to pronounce surnames. I agree with all the PC nonsense but Merson is the counter argument because he's hopeless.
Jeff Stelling has been brilliant over the years, likeable and good at his job. With him gone you feel it will go the way of soccer AM in that it's had its day. It's a shame because it's better than the BBC and BT ones.

 

[Fatboy]

This will be a massive loss to Soccer Saturday, and Sky Sports in general . He has been a fantastic anchorman both knowledgeable and hilarious at times , and the way he gelled with all the members of his panel has been Unbelievable Jeff !

 

[Excalibur]

..... Jefff will be replaced by a transgender person in the name of diversity who will no nothing about football..

 

[C_C_C_Cider]

Which woman will they choose to take over

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

..... Gillette soccer Saturday was on free view until sky realised it was on in every pub at 3 on a Saturday and very popular...

The very week Rupert Murdoch upped his shares in Sky it was announced that Soccer Saturday would be taken off free-to-view television. Soccer Saturday lost 82% of it's viewers overnight. That was great business...NOT

 

[Matesrates]

Big loss to sky, as some have said, I wouldn’t be surprised if a black woman takes over, simply because it’s the in thing. If they do that, I su we give her a chance. It’s going to be a challenge whoever takes over.

They’ll have to be non binary and vegan as well

 

[hampshire_exile]

Stelling is 66, it’s time for him to go. Thats a totally separate issue from who replaces him.

Merson should never have been there in the first place, he is an inarticulate Cockney tvat.

 

[StaffordshireSeasider]

..... Jefff will be replaced by a transgender person in the name of diversity who will no nothing about football..

and will be disabled and a person of colour!

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Mid sixties man retires, it must be a woke conspiracy.

 

[TangerineSeasider]

The Two Ronnies “Four Candles” sketch may be a lot of people’s choice for the funniest thing ever to be seen on TV, however …….

This is immortalised forever in comedy genius

 

[Tango1953]

Watched him from the beginning

Jeff Stelling hipsters

 

[Qblock]

Mid sixties man retires, it must be a woke conspiracy.

He’s not retiring. Leaving Sky. Important difference. I’m sure getting rid of 3 stalwarts had something to do with it

Ok, man leaves job, must be a woke conspiracy.

 

[Trammo]

Rumours “ Dunno” is on the Sky shortlist

 

[Excalibur]

..... A few years back he was giving out an award at a football do..... He tripped and fell over.... Quick as a flash he said.... Did u see that ref he pushed me... Legend..

 

[SeasidersPodcast]

Gutted, absolute legend of TV.

 

[Micky Walsh]

Used to love it, stopped watching a couple of years back.

Retires?

 

[Scaramanga]

I remember speaking with him at Hartlepool game at home. He was sat just in front of me in the old south stand. Lovely fella.

 

[Macseasider]

Go on Youtube and type in Stelling rants. A couple of times he goes off on one and when he does he's incredibly articulate.

Ok here's one:

 

[BFC87]

Which woman will they choose to take over

They are taking over. Why not Sky sports woman’s football on their own channel?

 

[Stony Hill]

It’s a shame for fans that he’s leaving because he’s been one of, maybe, the best in his field. I’ll miss him and his rapport with Kamara.
