About this listen
'A rollicking whip through [Jeff's] life, like the show itself it offers a consistently entertaining read' Telegraph
'Such an enjoyable book' Ally McCoist
'Jeff's autobiography is a riot of humour and nostalgia. A great read' Phil Thompson
'Saturday Afternoon Fever is great fun - right out of the top drawer' Paul Merson
A profoundly personal, warmly nostalgic and deliciously funny memoir by the legendary Sky Sports anchorman Jeff Stelling, chronicling a life spent obsessing about 'The Beautiful Game' ever since he was a little boy, and underpinned by a deeply rooted love of football and of people.
For a quarter of a century the iconic Sky Sports football presenter Jeff Stelling was the face and voice of football television. As the host of Soccer Saturday, a results show with National Treasure status, he expertly presided over a live panel of former footballers watching the most exciting sporting chapter of the weekend, on the telly, in front of a transfixed audience of millions, watching, unbelievably... on the telly.
Beginning at midday and wrapping just after the Premier League's players had showered and changed, the show's popularity stitched Stelling into the fabric of match-day rituals up and down the country. For fans, the weekend didn't exist without an hour or four of Soccer Saturday.
Saturday Afternoon Fever is Stelling's moving and fascinating memoir: a love letter to the game that has shaped and defined him, as it has millions of other football fans across the UK. This is the passionate, engaging tale of one fan's journey from the terraces at Hartlepool's rainy Victoria Park in the 1960s to the sleek and salubrious confines of the Sky Sports studios, an adventure that spans well over half a century and some of the most fast-changing, exciting periods in football's history.©2024 Jeff Stelling (P)2024 Headline Publishing Group Limited

Great book but narrator should have done his research.
Such a brilliant book with great stories and insight. The only issue was the narrator. He mispronounces names of players, managers and football grounds throughout which is frustrating to listen to. I don’t think Jeff would be happy either.

I’ve listened to this iconic voice from the very start of soccer Saturday and I have to say it’s been a pleasure to chill out and relax and now and again chuckle too
Highly recommend

A great story, excellently told.
I really enjoyed listening to this, I usually prefer it in the writers voice and probably would have with this one, but Chris did an excellent job and it was sometimes hard to tell that it wasn't Jeff. This audiobook gave an excellent insight into Jeff's personal and professional life, some of what I knew nothing about. I would recommend this audiobook for anyone, especially fans of Jeff and followers of his career and football in general.
