Jelleyman's Thrown a Wobbly by Jeff Stelling
The cult SkySports Soccer Saturday anchorman delivers a volley of entertaining and informative anecdotes about life in front of the videprinter.
"exceptional professionalism and elan" Guardian "the best sports presenter on British TV" When Saturday Comes "It lasts almost as long as three marathonsThere is no live action and the highlight consists of watching four grown men gaze into TV monitors that we are not allowed to see. This may make Soccer Saturday sound as mundane as a Royle Family omnibus without the jokes. But it works. And it works mainly because of the exceptional professionalism and elan of its presenter, Jeff Stelling." The Guardian
Jeff Stelling is a lifelong supporter of his hometown side, Hartlepool United. After an apprenticeship on the local newspaper Jeff became a sports presenter on London's LBC Radio Sportswatch programme in the early 1980s before moving to BBC Radio 2's Sport On 2. He later spent time as a sports newsreader at TV-AM, Channel 4, Eurosport and British Satellite Broadcasting before moving to Sky in 1992 to present coverage of horse racing, snooker and darts. In 1995 Stelling became presenter of what is now called Soccer Saturday. In November 2007 he was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Teesside, and in 2009 he was voted the Sports Journalists' Association's Broadcast Journalist of the Year for the fourth year running, and also became host of Channel 4's Countdown.
