            Lovely piece put together by Sky.....but blimey, some of the previous pundits have aren't got old.

            He was perfect in his role. Had the privilege to meet him in Manchester when I was a contestant on Alphabetical; an ITV game show he hosted for 2 seasons. He was personable, sympathised with me and all Charlton fans about the chaotic ownership and our demise from the Premier League days. Came across as genuine and likeable behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera and had a friendly word with all us contestants.8

            I don't believe Jeff's 68.0

            Have they announced who's taking over, and is it the younger guy that does the weekday stuff a lot?1

It's amazing isn't it a show that was designed as a stage for Best and Marsh ended up as the " Jeff Stelling show". It will never be the same again.ForeverAddickted said:
But then it's stable mate soccer AM, that was meant to be a travel news, ticket news type show became what it became, both finished on the same weekend.
I was lucky enough to be on the former and behind the scenes on the latter.

            Good bye Jeff, I will miss you.1

Nothing against the pundits they have now, but i don't think it's as good.iaitch said:You mean it's better now?
Despite what people might think about the old guard as individuals they were clearly all close, got on well and the show worked better as a result. Add in Kammy as well and i just think it was better before.

Apparently there was one Saturday where he was supposed to be part of the panel and disappeared... they managed to get a replacement in, but they went looking for him after the show and found him in the pub0 - 
            
Going back a step the original point of Soccer Saturday was to fill a "dead" time in the schedule with Best, Marsh and friends doing their toned down after dinner speal mixed in with the goals. They never had all the roving reporters and the like.ForeverAddickted said:

The original Soccer AM was, I think Tony Gale, talking about road works on the M1 near Walsall and train cancellations on the ECML. I think it was only about an hour.1 - 
            A genuine broadcasting and football legend. Saturdays won’t be the same.5

Surely the pub should have been the first place they lookedForeverAddickted said:

            A real star. He'll be missed.1

            My friend at work is Stelling’s nephew. The same guy’s dad is Jason Pearce’s agent. Not sure if the dad and Stelling were brothers. I could just ask and maybe make this anecdote mildly more interesting.6

            How weird. What did he do?0
 - 
            Hartlepool always seem to go from disaster to disaster ownership wise , I'm not surprised Jeff has spoken up and probably upset the owner.0
 - 
            Whatever the rights and wrongs of the spat between Singh and Stelling, Raj Singh has scored a bit of an own goal here.Made himself look like a right prick.9
 - 
            Why is the owner of Hartlepool writing to the chairman / secretary of Hartlepool asking them not to allow him an official parking space at their club. Its the owners club so why not say at THE club or MY club. Sounds like he has nothing to do with Hartlepool.
Weird.
Ignore. Just re-read it had seen the Guardian article. Letter was to all other clubs chairman.1
