Jeff Stelling is not just the face of Soccer Saturday. He IS Soccer Saturday.
The show will never be the same again without him.
No he's not 😂. The face of Soccer Saturday is a perfect description
@@kieronfletcher-3044yes he is, you are wrong but don’t feel bad about it. We will all be wrong many times in our lives. Just keep your head up and move on mate, it will get better! ❤
@@dylanmurphy9389 But you won't explain how I'm wrong. Soccer Saturday is a show on Sky Sports. The show will continue without him, even Jeff said it himself. He is the presenter and has been for many years. In the same way that Arsenal Wenger wasn't Arsenal, they have gone on without him and were there before he joined...
@@kieronfletcher-3044 The difference is that football fans remain loyal to the club regardless of how bad they play. Where as people who watch tv shows don't.
@anjirkumar4262 don't get involved in pointless conversations with numpties mate, he's a wind up merchant
My dad passed away last year and Jeff represented a massive part of our relationship, countless Saturday lunchtimes cooking lunch together and eating with this man on in the background along with so many old faces. Still remember the days of George Best and Rodney Marsh on the panel. Thanks Jeff and thank you Sky.
Rest in peace to your dad ❤
@@dylanmurphy9389 thanks mate ❤️
Likewise, mate. Hope you're good. 🙏
Sorry for your loss mate and its great that this man brought you and your dad memories and entertainment over the years🤜🏼🤛🏼 RIP Dad🙏🏻❤
Stay strong my friend... There's always someone out there that will will hold your hand to help you through the rough times (whether it be a physical or a cyber community) Good luck!
Jeff covered the premier league to the Scottish third division and did so with such enthusiasm. Treated all the same. Thanks very much for the memories.
Great point 👏👏 the fact he was a fanatical fan of a team just relegated from the football league puts him with the real football fans who regularly go through the trials and tribulations of loving their club no matter what . That gave him a great perspective.
Exactly the BBC give little to no mention of the Scottish leagues outside of the Premiership.
I got goosebumps right at the end when Jeff said good bye, I’ve seen him on Sky Sports since I was 13 years old, I’m 43 in a few weeks.
Saturday football season afternoons will never be the same, Jeff is indeed the GOAT and I will compare the filling of his role to when Fergie left United, Massive shoes to fill.
Thank you for all the laughs you’ve given everyone over the years.... Us viewers, the guys on the panel and I’m sure all the staff in the Sky Sports studio,
enjoy your retirement Jeff.
PS is was great to see some of the old boys in the tribute reel.
@@TheWoodIsPoo Ah mate, you’ve took me quite literally there haven’t you !
I have indeed seen a lot of Jeff Stelling on Soccer Saturday over the years but it’s been more of a thing on in the background while I work or I’m doing something in the house, and I’ve never sat down and watched it from start to finish.
I do ofcourse follow my hometown club and get to a game whenever I can but it’s a lot harder nowadays as I live abroad. I occasionally get to watch a Malaga CF game but my lack of Spanish mates stops me getting there as often as I’d like and my English expat mates would rather just get pissed in the sun on a weekend.
I do however have lots of mates who are of different nationalities as well as British, and the mrs and I have lots of ‘couples mates’ - not to mention all our mates from the UK who come to visit. Its all very social living where there’s lots of expats.
You’re right though pal, Jeff isn’t my mate, but he’s a good presenter and a funny guy who’s provided great entertainment to many over the years.
Thanks for your friendly advice though fella, and roll on next season
Ps apology accepted 👍
@@TheWoodIsPoo Nobody said Jeff cares about us, people enjoy watching him on TV.
The amount of days I’ve spent watching Soccer Saturday with my grandad and dad as a kid I’ll never forget those memories, thanks Jeff you absolute legend
@@unknownyoutube10101Kammie 😢
I feel like the dude is family
Sat next to him on a plane to Kiev for euro 2012, and he was every bit of a legend in real life as he is on the tele. A national treasure
What a story. What a memory to have
Thd simple things in life make it worthwhile. Awesome.
Kyiv*, Kiev is the Russian spelling of the city's name whereas Kyiv is the Ukrainian spelling.
Jeff Stelling deserves a medal. Not only is he the best presenter on tv, he also has to guide a bunch of tongue-tied, semi-literate, grammatically inept ex footballers, through a few hours of live broadcasting, and somehow keep it all together with his lightning wit and knowledgeable references. Sky sports will miss him greatly and so will the viewers.
Unbelievable Jeff. An absolute legend of presenting. Things will never be the same again.
This man is just a different species. It’ll be hard to fill the void that Jeff did
Sky have already employed a black female to fill the quota.
@@andrewleah1983lol you are so pathetic
@@andrewleah1983probably
When everyone knows it should be Jules who replaces him
Jules ain’t Jeff but he’s still a very good host
Can't be filled.
@@andrewleah1983 was that meant to be funny?
The void can never be filled. There’s only one Jeff Stelling. He’s been part of my life as a football fan since I started following football. Cheers Jeff. For everything.
Wait until you see the black trans lesbian replacement "they" will be great
@@matthewbevilaqua8817 Sky are woke now. So yeah probably will be
@@danieljackson2322 Yep they Graeme Souness got the chop for misspeaking and calling it a "mans game" earlier this season. Anyone who's pale is seen as stale ny Sky Sports
@@matthewbevilaqua8817 Not just Sky. ITV and BBC are woke. The white majority in this country is being talked down and being called racist by the minorities. Becoming more of a stranger in my own country.
@@matthewbevilaqua8817 Women are being taken over men’s football.
In Jeffs time ive had 3 girlfriends, 1 wife, 1 ex wife, 2 Sons and not 1 of them could ever understand hiw much i loved this show, my saturday wouldnt have been the same, ive never watched it without belly laughing at least a couple of times per show, ive seen my Forest fall from the highest highs to the lowest lows and all reported to me by the silky tones of Jeff. You will be missed, it wont be the same. Thank you for the memories
Irreplaceable, we can only emulate the greatness of Jeff but he truly is one of a kind. Thank you for your utmost devotion to the beautiful game.
No one can replace him , Jeff Stelling is a one off . Thanks for the memories, will be missed by millions .
As a deaf person his facial expressions told all the story, he was simply superb xxx
No, of course not. He'll be replaced by a man dressed as a woman who identifies as a nobody, all the while demanding everything. Sky is a joke and it won't exist in 5 years.
Your right, true legend, but im sure Sky will have the right woman lined up for the job.
Nobody could dislike this bloke. Absolute legend, Jeff ❤
A friend of mine did - never understood him. Jeff is, undoubtedly, a legendary broadcaster.
The banter between everyone is infectious....Good luck to you Jeff.
An end of an era...but what an era!!
G.O.A.T. Best presenter ever ..: I’ve lost count of the laughs I’ve had with him on here… Was the best way to bring smiles and personality to Saturdays .. he actually became Saturday … and will be massively missed by countless fans .. ❤
The Chris Karmara Red Card exchange and bewilderment, is still by far the best piece of live TV sports commentary 😍.
That's exactly it, mate. He could take an absolute blooper and not only make it OK, but actually turn it into TV gold AND make it look easy! Word is waaay overused these days, but it's a touch of broadcasting genius
Sir Jeff Stelling . . . . . . Surely a knighthood in the next honours list.
Thanks for the memories ❤
As a deaf person his facial expressions told all the story, he was simply superb xxx
Absolutely. Is wasters like Rod Stewart and Lenny Henry can be knighted he definitely can.
Lenny Henry raised billions for charity
@@imaniman6797 billions?!
Jeff does not deserve a knighthood.
As a football fanatic in his 7th decade of attending Millwall matches and having visited 84 grounds from Carliske to Plymouth and watched thousands of others,I don't know what was the most emotional, watching these genuine tributes or the universal love shown in the comments below for a brilliant Broadcaster and wonderful human being.
Imagine if you were lucky enough to have Jeff as your Dad or even, as a friend...🧡💙🖤
Lovely tribute to a great presenter and a brilliant show. When my team weren’t playing at 3pm Saturday, I’d always be on the sofa with my Dad watching this - listening out for the legendary catchphrases (Jellyman’s Thrown a Wobbly, etc.). Soccer Saturday brought so much joy to so many fans, and Jeff was at the heart of that. 👏
What an absolute National Treasure this man is ❤️
He's been magnificent all these years. Absolute legend. Nobody will ever do it better. He made an essentially fairly boring premise of a show entertaining. Genius.
Yes I agree. When this show first came out, I thought how could people talking about games that we were not allowed to see live actually be exciting. But it was!
@@geniegenie2453 And there’s been a goal at old Trafford but who’s it gone to?!!!!
This world used to be a place to learn to suffer, but that has to change. Make this world heaven!
Stay strong, your father is looking over you in the stars
Only one I think can come close is Ally McCoist
Jeff made my Saturdays the most enjoyable day of the week. It didn't matter if your team were playing or not, somehow you felt engaged with every club throughout the leagues (including non-league too).
His interaction with the panel and all of the roving reporters was an absolute joy, whilst all the time keeping tabs on up to the minute scores as they came in. He seemed to know every player in every team and even added fun filled anecdotes to keep us entertained. Jeff will be sorely missed.
Every time they play that clip of Chris Kamara at Portsmouth when he missed the red card I burst out laughing, without fail. I think it might be the funniest thing I've ever seen, the pair of them were brilliant together.
Thank you Jeff, for making all my Saturdays when I couldn't go to football games brilliant. You made something as simple as watching scores come in absolutely entertaining.
Thanks for the memories!
I can’t see how he is going to be replaced
Hit the nail on the head, mate. To make others watching matches more entertaining than seeing the matches ourselves, is not just talented, it's actually gifted. Feel sorry for his replacement. Best just to cancel and try something completely different
I don't really watch Soccer Saturday anymore but for the best part of 20 years I tuned in every Saturday. It sounds a bit weird, considering it's just a football show, but there was something comforting about watching Jeff and the gang every weekend. The show may have gone stale over the past couple of years but for a while it was the best thing on TV. The "fighting like beavers" bit with Kammy will never fail to make me laugh. Thanks for the memories, Jeff.
Think you hit the nail on the head there, probably gone stale about 5 to 10 year ago. At its peak it was fun to watch, should have started to replace Thommo, Nicholas, Le Tissier and Merson slowly fading them out and replacing them with 2/3 maybe even 4 potential new panelists on rotation.
Yep I'm a bit the same,when sky started the box ticking,I still watch sometimes but nowhere near the amount of times I used to,Stelling is a legend mind you.
ITS NOT CALLED SOCCER YOU HORRID YANK. ITS FOOTBALL
Absolute legend. Won't be the same without him
Thank you to the unbelievably Jeff Stelling. Also thank you to the background music of Sigur Rós with Hoppípolla, from the album Takk....
An absolute legend. Can't be replaced. That's all there is to say really. Soccer Saturday will never be the same!
He’s one of the best broadcasters ever - a consummate professional, who could adapt to any situation. He has built a massive legacy
The end of an era is what I'll say this has been. Not just because LEICESTER CITY are saying goodbye to the Premier League, but football is also saying goodbye to one of - if not THE greatest presenter in the history of all living memory.
Jeff Stelling is more than just the best Sky Sports presenter - he is SKY SPORTS altogether!!!
I am surprise he wasn’t gone sooner give Sky’s woke agendas. They got rid of his mates Tommo, Nichols and Tis because they weren’t black or female.
Will be sorely missed. A brilliant presenter and soccer saturday will be weird without him, absolute legend. 🙏
This was my saturday afternoon for 20 years... Thanks for the memories Jeff, you will be missed!
He's been the Saint and Greavsie of this generation. Great man, great presenter and he'll be sadly missed.
A brilliant story teller, oozes passion, deeply knowledgeable - what a legacy to the sports broadcasting world.
Soccer Saturday is done. Jeff is irreplaceable. Absolute legend
Get a f*in you saddo...
For 20 years been watching him every Saturday without fail easily the goat absolute legend.
Jeff's energy and enthusiasm is infectious. Saturdays without him are unthinkable!
Dont think i will put sky on a saturday anymore
Jeff deserves to be knighted. He's not just a national treasure, he's an international treasure. His witty banter with his t.v. audience and with the other pundits, will live long in the memory. Take a bow Sir. You most certainly deserve it !!!
I dont know about all that knighting stuff as it would make me cringe but he has been amazing. what he does is incredibly difficult and to do it with such charm and humour, even better
“ knighted” for presenting a football show, just shows how people think how important football is 🤡🤡🤡
Blokes an absolute mercenary and I absolutely love how much he stands up for the north east of England. Thanks for the memories Jeff 👏🏻
Jeff was the GOAT and Soccer Saturday has not been the same without him. He was irreplaceable and so it has been proved this season. Every time Hartlepool score I think of Jeff. lol. 👍
The new bloke is as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike !!!!
Met him out in Portugal a few years ago and genuinely the nicest most humble person you could wish to meet; such a class act. Don’t build them like him anymore, thanks Jeff
This was emotional. Will be remembered forever
My childhood, Jeff has always been apart of my Saturday afternoons since I can remember. Thank you for everything Jeff. It will never be the same 🥲💔
Watched that with a tear in my eye - yes it's a team, but Jeff is the team leader, a brilliant presenter and utter legend of broadcasting. Our weekends won't be the same. Thanks for the memories Jeff 🍻
What a man he is, funny,articulate, knowledgeable and genuine, you’ll be missed Jeff.
Chris kamara now jeff..... You legends will be missed the football entertainment and emotions truly unmatched. It will be hard to fill the void back.
The joy he's brought people ❤ we love you Jeff you're one in a million mate . Cheers for the memories will miss you
I'm so sad to know we won't be hearing his voice again soccer Saturday will never be the same you are the voice of football one word = LEGEND Thank you for all the memories Jeff
Spent my childhood on Saturday watching Jeff in Ireland, for the last 15 years in NYC every chance I get a Saturday off which is not too many I had the pleasure of watching this man cheer me up on the Telly , he is like the closest thing to Robin Williams on the football tv , just Unbelievable!! Thank You Jeff!!
As a deaf person his facial expressions told all the story, he was simply superb xxx
Jeff Stelling is a priceless gem. Sky don't realize the void his absence will leave behind. The word "legend" gets used too often these days. But Jeff is exactly that. He made sitting around, watching a bunch of blokes watching football matches interesting, funny, entertaining and worthwhile. What a fantastic presenter.
Great comments x
Everyone is replaceable. There are billions of people in this world. All with different characters and personalities. Jeff chose to leave and he's pushing 70. Time to do something else. He wasn't pushed by sky. He chose to leave.
@@sean_43 Who pissed in your cornflakes today?
@Seán Yes he did, but when your talking about a presenting programme its the people that make it watchable and enjoyable, this guy made a Saturday football show what it is, people watched it because of him. He is replacable, but the show won't be the same again
@@stevenmalarkey9391 It could be even better. I liked it too but everything moves on and evolves. I mean how hard can it be to get a few ex-footballers with a good sense of humour and perhaps a comedian with a presenting background to sit around and talk nonsense in a funny way for three or four hours. I would say the bunch lined up are a boring lot though with the charisma of a dead fish. That being Laura Woods, Adam Smith, Mike Wedderburn, Hayley McQueen or Julian Warren.
It’s the end of an era, you will be greatly missed Jeff, Saturday afternoons will never be the same again 😢
that hit me harder than i thought it would, i remember watching it every week for the best part of 10 years and so many happy memories, amazing show, amazing panel and just some great entertainment for those of us lucky to tune in and watch
Soccer Saturday Was the pinnacle of a saturday afternoon for years through the 2000s, with Jeff the head of the usual gang it was unmissable . Never be the same without him.
if anyone deserves a knighthood its this man, a gent, a legend, a once in a generation presenter, Soccer Saturday will never be the same again, thankyou for everything
Watching this left me with goosebumps. The sound of your voice has been a massive part of my life and my love for football. It won’t be the same however thanks for everything you’ve done over the years. Legend.
Quite simply the best sports presenter of this generation. Loved his off the cuff quips and had a great rapport with the panel making Saturday afternoons a must watch. Thanks Jeff 👍
I don’t see how they can replace Jeff, this show will never be the same
They can't, their standard has now gone down
Thogden is replacing him my god 🤣🤣
With Jeff Stelling gone, Matt Le Tissier, Phil Thompson, Charlie Nicholas, and Chris Kamara. Soccer Saturday will not be the same ever again.😢 I can't believe he's being replaced.
It was a hard watch after the 3 lads got the sack and Kammy leaving, but with Jeff gone, it's the nail in the coffin.
@The Star Wars Cantina That was the biggest mistake Sky Sports ever made by sacking Phil Thompson, Matt Le Tissier, and Charlie Nicholas. I understood why Chris Kamara had to leave because of his apraxia of speech, but sacking Matt Le Tissier, Phil Thompson, and Charlie Nicholas was a step too far. Now, with the best Sky Sports Soccer Saturday, Presenter being replaced, I think a lot of people will tune out with him gone.
Absolute legend. He'll definitely be missed.
How many Saturday afternoons have we spent listening to Jeff and his crew 😢 What a ride over the years! Thanks Jeff
Jeff is a LEGEND and Saturdays just wont be the same without Jeff on the box. Out of all of the celebritys Jeff keeps it real. Good Luck To You Jeff because you are one of the old school mate God Bless You Jeff Amen xxxxxxx And God Bless Your Earthly Life Time And Earthly Family Amen xxxxxxx
Farewell jeff stelling and thank you for everything you have done for 30 years on sky
L.E.G.E.N.D. This gentleman is the spokesperson for all 92 English Pyramid clubs and so much more. We cannot say thank you enough for what he has done, achieved and how many of us he raised through our common livelihood, football. Congratulations and all the best in your next chapter.
Saturday afternoons will never be the same again now!
Best presenter ever will be very difficult to find replacement good luck mate
I'm 29 and you've been the sky sports news presenter from when I first started watching football. You have played such a huge part in developing mine and millions of others love for the game! Absolutely irreplaceable, however you more than anyone deserve the chance to sit at home on a Saturday afternoon now and let someone tell you the goings on around the country. Enjoy your time doing whatever you choose. Usually a saying exclusive to footballing icons but you deserve this mantra too... Football will never be the same without you. Goodbye Jeff. 😭😫
It will be hard to watch it without seeing this guy. The passion and loyalty he puts into it is just amazing.
Truly the goat thanks for all the memories Jeff .... unbelievable ❤️
Unbelievable memories! Thank you for everything Jeff!
My childhood just went away like that, will never forget tuning into soccer saturday everytime in the late 00's-2010's as a kid was a great time every week, thanks to Jeff and the boys truly the goat and will be severely missed
No one can replace Jeff Stelling
Thank you for the memories mate. An absolute professional and excellent excellent presenter.
Always looked forward to watching this show. Was fun from start to finish. Jeff always had a fun one-liner for most of the goalscorers. As they say, all good things must come to an end. Best of luck in the future Jeff!!!
Jeff Stelling absolute true Legend of sport gonna be missed big time on Saturday afternoons
I have been tuning in to Soccer Saturday since 2000 such an iconic program with Jeff running the show
Soo nice to see past pundits like Frank McClintock Alan Mullery Clive Allen Matt Le Tissier Charlie Nicholas Phil Thompson and of course Chris Kamara pay their farewell tributes to Jeff
Thanks for all the Amazing memories Jeff best of luck for the future pal 😢❤👍👏
What an absolute legend. All the best Jeff, thank you for the great memories!
One of the best presenters. He will be sorely missed
It's sad to see Jeff Stelling go. I've been watching soccer Saturday my whole life and it will never be the same. You will be missed.
Wow I watched this man for years I'm 30 he's been there more than my own parents haha miss you Jeff you made this show what it became no one can replace you, one of a kind gentleman
Thank you Jeff, you’ve been a memorable 30 year career. It’s not just Soccer Saturday, but you are Mr Soccer Saturday, but you will be sadly missed and most importantly you are suddenly unbelievable Jeff.
What a legend. He will be missed. Well done Sky for a great send off
Around 15 years of coupons and Soccer Saturday for me. It's just a working mans bit of happiness, and you lead the teams through. Hope you get your testimonial "match". Thanks for making Saturdays perfect
Thanks for all the good times, Jeff. You and Kammy will be sorely missed.
Jeff, you have brought fun, laughter, and joy into our lives, and we have needed that over the last few years!
When you're not watching your team live, you turn on to soccer Saturday for the next few hours, laughing and enjoying the results coming in. Thank you so much
Saturdays just won't be the same. All the best 👍
He was just brilliant
Goodbye Jeff, thanks for the last 20 years for all the amazing memories that you & all the many many guests and pundits have given. It was full of humor and always entertaining especially with the strong Hartlepool connection but I can honestly say that you will greatly missed by millions around the world and the very best in the next chapter for you & your family.
Wow, I feel like a bit of my youth has gone, especially seeing all of those nostalgic clips. I’d stay at my grandparents every weekend with Soccer Saturday on in the living room, and Notts on the radio in the kitchen. His wit and love for the game, and the camaraderie of all the guests really made you feel like you were listening in on a group of mates down at the pub. Happy memories.
nobody and i mean NOBODY can replace Jeff Stelling.. he was like the “ JR.. Jim Ross “ of Gillette Soccer Saturday 🔥🔥 thank you for all your work and the memories 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This gentleman is an absolute treasure. He is a hero not only on Sky Sports, outside his job as well, especially his involvement in charity work and joining a campaign to end trophy hunting in recent times. A treasure that’s forever irreplaceable on this show. Cheers Jeff!
thank you jeff for funny moments and clashing moments unbelievable honesty enjoy the rest of your life
Thank you Jeff, you'll be missed very dearly. Nobody will replace Jeff, he was ao iconic. Goodluck for the future!
Cannot count the number of terrific Saturdays and memories this man made for me and I am sure so many others. One of the faces of such enjoyable moments in football and beyond for so so many. Cheers, Jeff. We won't ever forget these days
Thanks for the memories and the laughs Jeff a part of everybody's Saturday afternoon ritual, it will never be the same the end of an era ,
All the best in the future top man
Been a huge fan of Jeff for years. Not sure if the show will ever be the same but whoever takes over I wish them well, big shoes to fill. Top man Jeff
Farewell to a legend. What a career, what a presenter. Thanks for the endless football memories 💯
I never thought watching 5 blokes watching football could be so much fun, thanks Jeff and the team for all the great times🙌
Cheers for many years of coverage on football jeff . Youve been brilliant!!!! All the best for the future 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Used to watch his show religiously especially when Georgie Best and a few others were pundits. No-one comes close to his presenting skills and absolutely loved it when he reported on so many late goals for United from the 1990's and the naughties. No bias just good humour. You will be missed Jeff 👍
An incredible talent who can't be replaced. Thank You Jeff
My Dad passed away ten years ago . Watching soccer Saturday with Best are memoirs ill never forget. You gave us everything. Brilliant Jeff 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The amount of memories this man’s voice has given me over the years in just incredible!
What an absolute legend, he is simply the GOAT and Saturdays won't be the same without him.
For me, a cold wet Saturday staying indoors with my footy bets watching Jeff and the guys was a massive pleasure. Top man who will be missed.
