Saturday Social presenter Adam Smith is the surprise name being lined up to replace the iconic Jeff Stelling as the face of Sky's Soccer Saturday programme.
Stelling, 68, announced at the weekend that he had decided to stand down from his role on Soccer Saturday, which he has held for over 25 years. The veteran broadcaster's announcement comes just 12 months after he U-turned on a decision to walk away from the show.
Already, a host of names have been touted as potential successors once Stelling calls it quits at the end of May. But Smith, who was also a regular on the popular Soccer AM show for years, has now emerged as the frontrunner to step in.
