review 1: This book is so ridiculously easy to read, I don't know why I didn't do so earlier. Filled with anecdotes about the show (and its predecessor), the guest pundits and, of course, Kammy, this book flows even though the chapters appear completely separate. The background section on Jeff Stelling is great reading as well, giving us an insight not just into the sort of preparation he puts in for each edition of Soccer Saturday, but his background as well. The only downside I could see was that there was no mention of the infamous incident with Chris Kamara missing a sending off at Portsmouth, only to admit he thought the player was being subbed! Presumably this was because the incident happened after the release date of my edition, but I'd like to hope that a revised version is... more either available or in the pipeline with this story included. Unbelievable, Jeff!
review 2: A good insight into the man/legend that is Jeff Stelling, who has accompanied some of my brightest and darkest moments on a Saturday afternoon.The tales and quips are laid out with aplomb and the book is a real page turner. It's not going to win the Pullitzer prize, as Jeff himself admits, but it does offer a great behind the scenes look at the best thing to hit Saturdays afternoons since Big Daddy. less
