SOCCER AM IS set to be axed after 30 years of the iconic weekend football show.
The programme started on Sky Sports back in 1995 but will finish up at the end of the current season, with 10 episodes left to air.
“Soccer AM has played an important role in our coverage of football for the past three decades, and we continually adapt to the evolving needs of our customers,” a Sky spokesperson said, as quoted by TalkSport.
“We now go into a period of consultation to discuss the proposed changes with our people. We are unable to provide more detail while these consultations are underway.”
Just heard that @SoccerAM is finishing at the end of the season. I had 14 years of going through Premier League & @EFL clubs dressing rooms. Training with Clubs for features & basically having a laugh 😂 Fun part of my time at Sky 🤣 pic.twitter.com/7FbqUonB2f

Be sad to see it go. Fenners is funny enough. I know everyone says its not as good since lovejoy and chamberlain but i still thought it was a decent watch.
Peaked around 15 years ago. Amazed it lasted this long.
@Brian Dunne: Agree but the Soccer Social too many wanna be smart arses on it its pretty much a couple of guests bigging up who they support but hey if that’s the way the world works
Never watched it after Lovejoy and Chamberlain left. It was never as good again.
@Sullmeister: Lovejoy left in 2007, Chamberlain left in 2017…
A Real Soccer Shocker
Light entertainment on a sat morning gone now pity.
It hasn’t been good for well over a decade.
30 years too late
Tubes, sheephead, unbelievable tekkers, soccerettes, lovejoy’s handshake. A mainstay of my teenage Saturday mornings. Farewell
Light entertainment on a Saturday morning fenners is good, but ya definitely a lot more enjoyable when lovejoy was doing it…
