Sky Sports presenter is surprise No.1 choice to replace Jeff Stelling on Soccer Saturday

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.
