Jeff Stelling has shed more light on his decision to reverse his planned exit as host of Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday.
Back in October the veteran broadcaster announced that he was to step down at the end of the current campaign. He has been a permanent fixture with Sky for three decades, the vast majority of that as the face of the popular Saturday afternoon show. But last week he made a shock u-turn and announced he had changed his mind.
Now, he has revealed more details around the thinking behind the decision. Writing in his column in the Hartlepool Mail, the 67-year-old admits the clamour of people he met in the street urging him to stay as well as a feeling of unfinished business meant he needed to change his mind.
