Jeff Stelling is preparing for his final show with Sky Sports as the Premier League season comes to a close this weekend.
The 68-year-old announced he would be leaving the broadcaster in April after previously intending to leave at the end of the 2021-22 season. Stelling has worked for Sky since 1992 and has been the face of Soccer Saturday for 25 years.
The presenter’s passion for the beautiful game, and encyclopedic knowledge of each team’s form and fortunes made him a household name among football supporters all across the country. Stelling’s final show will be broadcast on Sky Sports News on Sunday from 3pm to 7.30 pm and he gave the reason for his departure, live on air.

"I've been at Sky for more than 30 years and loved every moment of my time as part of the Soccer Saturday team," Stelling said, back in April. "It is now the right time to move on and give Sky Sports viewers a break from my relentless rants, bad gags and over-the-top celebrations of Hartlepool United goals. It's been a lot of fun - for me at least!"
Despite Stelling’s chapter at Sky Sports coming to a close, the famous Hartlepool United fan has insisted he is not retiring, though it remains to be seen where. After the Soccer Saturday host announced his departure, Sky Sports’ director of football Gary Hughes praised Stelling’s “brilliant” contribution to the broadcaster.

Only nine directors have ever won the Palme d’Or twice. Francis Ford Coppola did it in the ’70s with The Conversation and Apocalypse Now. Ruben Östlund joined the club last year after following The Square with Triangle of Sadness. But this year, there is a very real possibility that, at 86, Ken Loach may go above and beyond that by winning a third Palme for his new film, The Old Oak. Loach first won in 2006 with the historical Irish drama The Wind That Shakes the Barley, then doubled up in 2016 with I, Daniel Blake, a caustic study of Britain’s healthcare crisis. After that came Sorry, We Missed You, a no-less withering look at the punitive gig economy. Like the latter two films, The Old Oak is set in the North East of England and completes an unofficial trilogy, this time with a slightly more optimistic bent. Like all of Loach’s output since 1996, it was written by Paul Laverty, and the pair sat down with Damon Wise to discuss the film’s themes of humanity and social responsibility.
