Jeff Stelling is best known as the anchor on Gillette Soccer Saturday, the landmark football institution that stretches across six hours of the game's busiest day with a much celebrated (and imitated) mix of features, reports, informed studio opinion, lively banter and the fastest results service you can find anywhere.
Jeff has also presented a range of live events on Sky Sports, dating back to the channel's birth in 1992, and is now the main presenter for Sky Sports UEFA Champions League coverage.
An experienced journalist and broadcaster, Jeff's media career began nearly 40 years ago as a news reporter at his local paper, the Hartlepool Mail. A move to Radio Tees led to the role of reporter on local club Middlesbrough and the beginning of a radio career that took Jeff to two Olympic Games in Los Angeles (1984) and Seoul (1988). After
joining TV AM as a member of the sports team in 1988, he moved to BSB in 1990 and after a brief period at Channel 4, he began a long association with Sky Sports that has included presenting live darts, snooker, greyhound and horse racing.
He has also been the presenter of the ever popular Channel 4 show Countdown, produced by ITV Yorkshire.
In his limited leisure time, Jeff can be found following the fortunes of Hartlepool United.
