      Soccer AM star reveals plans to bring show back in new format as he opens up on ‘crazy’ moments behind the scenes

      by

      SOCCER AM is one of Britain’s most loved football programmes.The show ran from 1994 to 2023 on Sky Sports and became a cultural phenomenon.Soccer AM finally came off the air last yearCredit: AlamyRocket was one of the key figures behind the show’s successCredit: Sky Sports / Soccer AMJames Long – better known as Rocket – spent 19 years on it and was the brains behind Skill School, as well as producing Crossbar Challenge.And he wants to relive the glory days with a new show called Soccer PM, which stands for Soccer Programme Memories.He told talkSPORT: “The show’s been off air for a whole season now. And I think a lot of fans, especially myself, missed it. “I left when Helen [Chamberlain, a former presenter] left. So that was about seven years ago.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL“But I just feel like there’s a void in our lives on a Saturday morning. Without seeing either Helen, Tim [Lovejoy], Max [Rushden], Fenners [John Fendley], [Jimmy] Bullard, whoever it was that presented the show. Now it’s gone.”This show is very much a look back at the glory days of Soccer AM and what people loved about it. “So the plan is to interview old Soccer AM crew members, presenters, guests, regular guests that were on the show, maybe chat to some old Soccerettes that have gone on to be CEOs of companies or fans of the week that have got a funny story to tell about their time on the show.”So it’s just a trip down memory lane, a bit of nostalgia and ultimately a bit of fun.”Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSRocket shared some of his experiences of life behind the cameras on Soccer AM.He added: “Back in the day, the show was four hours long when it first started. I was a Soccer AM Soccerette TWICE – it was great fun for models like me but I have a different view of it now”I went in as a 15-year-old on work experience and some of the things that you’d see, just going on behind the scenes… because you’d have up-and-coming bands, bringing in groupies, you’d have fans of the week, just getting dressed naked in the corridor, Scottish fans with their kilts, and you’re just like, what is going on? This is just mad.“But it was great. It was what made the show what it was. “The excitement, the buzz, and everyone was excited to be on TV. And I just want to try and tap into the people that were involved.”Rocket went out on the road filming with players – an area where Soccer AM was ahead of its time.Can you name the famous fathers?He remembered: “I once got chased out of Luton by the players because we were filming the Crossbar Challenge and one of the players came up to me and went, ‘Rocket, we’re going to debag you after this’.”But the Skill School was different because that was my concept and that ran for about six years and managed to get in clubs where Jordan Henderson was an academy member at Sunderland.

      Gary Neville reveals the ‘rule’ he makes himself follow as a Sky Sports pundit and says ‘I’ve never said it in 13 years’

      by

      GARY NEVILLE has revealed the unbreakable rule he set for himself when he joined Sky Sports as a pundit.Manchester United legend Neville, 49, called time on his glittering career – which included winning two Champions League and 12 Premier League titles – in 2011.Gary Neville revealed the rule he set for himself when joining Sky SportsCredit: YouTube/The OverlapNeville revealed he had a tough time when former team-mate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was under pressure at Man UtdCredit: AFPShortly after he made the switch into punditry with broadcaster Sky Sports.Since then he has become a mainstay on TV, regularly appearing on Monday Night Football and as a co-commentator for major Premier League matches.However, Neville has now revealed the self-imposed “rule” he would never break while doing the job.Speaking on Stick to Football: The Overlap Special, brought to you by Sky Bet, a community question asked Neville and co-stars, Ian Wright, Roy Keane and Jill Scott, what the hardest part about becoming a pundit was.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLNeville explained one of his biggest challenges came when former team-mate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was under pressure when he was the manager of Man Utd.He said: “Ole was tough, for me and for you (Keane) I think.”People at the end abused him, and me probably more than you, but the idea of going against Ole, that’s never going to happen. “I can say, ‘He’s under pressure, the team aren’t playing well’ – we said all those things – but the idea of going a step further which says, ‘He should lose his job’, ‘He should be sacked’ – never. Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS”That’s what people want but I would never go into that. I’ve never once [did that].”It was a rule when I came into Sky, for myself, about 13 years ago – I said I would never ever [call for a manager to be sacked].”Gary Neville reveals he hates BARBECUES as he slams ‘unsociable eating experience’ and Roy Keane agreesNeville continued: “I remember the manager at Blackburn – Steve Kean – I’ve never seen a manager have as tough a time, for a longer period – than Steve. “It was getting painful in the end where you’re thinking, ‘Actually, he probably wants to be sacked’, but you never say, ‘Sack him, put him out of his misery’. “Some do and feel comfortable with it, but I’ve never said it and I’m quite proud of that.”Adding his two cents to the question, former team-mate Keane said: “You’ve got to give an opinion [when doing punditry], don’t you? “A lot of people do a lot of talking but aren’t saying anything. That’s what you’re there for – you’re not there for everyone to agree with it.”[The toughest thing about punditry is] different demands – getting to games, [speaking about] lads you might have played with.”READ MORE SUN STORIESA separate segment of the podcast saw Neville reveal his pet hates, declaring his hatred for BARBEQUES, – calling them an “unsociable eating experience” – shoehorns and WhatsApp Groups.Keane had some similar hates, such as people with flashy cars who park wherever they want – though the Irishman went as far as calling for their tyres to be “slashed” as punishment.Harry Redknapp: Lampard or Gerrard should be next England managerI’VE a message for all those who reckon the search for England’s next manager is a two-horse race — you’re bang on!And while we’re at it, here’s another… I bet very few of you have narrowed it down to the same couple of candidates as me.If the odds are spot-on, finding Gareth Southgate’s replacement is a toss-up between Eddie Howe and Graham Potter.Well in my book it’s a straight head-to-head, too. But I’m even more convinced that the men I see as obvious front-runners will be lucky to even get an interview.I doubt there are many who’d agree with me either, when I say the FA should look no further than Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard for the next Three Lions boss.Either of them could do the job standing on their head, yet probably neither will get so much as a phone call.Mind you, plenty of people will insist there’s no reason why they should because they’ve already written off both as failures.Forgetting that Frank reached an FA Cup final and finished fourth in his first spell at Chelsea.Or the fact that Everton were in such a mess, he never had a prayer when he went there.There’s every chance they’ll gloss over Stevie’s time at Rangers, despite their first title win in a decade — unbeaten as well — and say he was a flop at Aston Villa.But you show me a manager who’s not had a tough time of it somewhere down the line. Potter certainly did at Chelsea — he only lasted 31 games and lost 11 of them.So did Unai Emery, the man who replaced Stevie as boss at Villa, when he was Arsenal manager. It happens to everyone out there.So what’s the difference between Potter and Frank?Why is one an obvious candidate for England, yet the other not even worthy of a mention?Nothing against Eddie or Graham, by the way. Eddie’s doing well enough at Newcastle without absolutely tearing it up.And Potter did a good job at Brighton before Chelsea but he had good recruitment and was working with good players.Look at some of the names he had and where they ended up.Alexis Mac Allister won the World Cup and went to Liverpool. Leandro Trossard is at Arsenal, Marc Cucurella and Moises Caicedo joined Chelsea, Yves Bissouma is with Tottenham.There’s no doubt Potter or Howe would be a safe pair of hands. A steady Eddie. Just like Gareth was eight years ago — which is why they will probably get a chance.But if the FA want someone steeped in football knowledge — at international level too — and who knows the game inside out at that level, both Frank and Stevie leave them standing.The players would love it as well. They’d be desperate to play for them.They would have nothing but respect whether it was Lampard or Gerrard as boss.So, are they both on the scrapheap for good because they’ve had a failure somewhere down the line? There won’t be any managers left before long if that’s all it takes.And here’s another thing as well. While you need a thick skin to be a club manager, it’s not a patch on the one demanded at international level.That goes for players — certainly the senior ones — as well. And Stevie and Frank could tell you all about that better than most.Some of the stuff Frank had to put up with back in the day was horrendous, horrible stuff.It was the same for Gerro, especially when he was captain.But the pair of them stood up and came through it. And that’s the sort of character you want and need as England manager.It’s not about being a fantastic coach. When do you really get the chance to prove that with England? You don’t.You’re not out there every day doing shape, shadow play and the like. For one thing you tend to pick the team at the last minute because you don’t want it leaking out!It’s about managing, not coaching and there is a difference. It’s about picking the best players in the right positions.It’s about attacking and being positive — and in my book, nothing would be more positive than giving Stevie or Frank a call.But I’d be very surprised if anyone at the FA even picks up the phone and dials their numbers.

      Watch Sky Sports pundit’s incredible reaction to Watkins’ England winner just moments after predicting ‘a bit of magic’

      GARETH AINSWORTH produced a brilliant reaction to Ollie Watkins’ winning goal against Holland.The Aston Villa striker scored in the 90th minute to send England through to their second consecutive Euros final.Gareth Ainsworth was covering England’s match on Sky SportsCredit: Sky SportsHe was thrilled with Ollie Watkins’ winning goalCredit: GettyXavi Simons had given Holland the lead in the 7th minute before Harry Kane equalised from a controversial penalty.The Euro 2024 semi-final clash proved to be a tense affair with Watkins netting the decisive goal in the final moments.Ainsworth, 51, was covering the match for Sky Sports live in the studio.The former QPR manager’s reaction to the goal has been posted on social media.READ MORE IN EURO 2024In the clip, he can be heard saying that there needs to be “a bit of magic” from someone.Only seconds later, Cole Palmer was able to play in Watkins to score the winning goal.Ainsworth, in response, let out a massive celebratory roar as he rose to his feet.Fans loved the clip as they reacted to it.Most read in Euro 2024BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSOne posted: “Sensational celebration.”A second wrote: “I love all the Gareth’s. National Gareth day please.”Adele fans spot her celebrating England’s Euros win in Rio Ferdinand’s video England’s controversial penaltyBy Mark HalseyHARRY KANE was gifted a penalty by controversial referee Felix Zwayer.If England had been on the receiving end of that decision, we would have been absolutely fuming.The German official, previously banned for six months for his part in a match-fixing scandal, should not have been sent to the pitchside monitor by VAR Bastian Dankert.Both Denzel Dumfries and Kane had their feet in the air as England’s captain got his shot away.It was just a clash of legs and certainly NOT a ‘clear and obvious error’.Once Zwayer went over to the monitor, we knew what was going to happen.He is an excellent referee but we have seen that none of the officials seem mentally tough enough to stick with their original call.I know some people will argue Dumfries was late to the tackle and it would have been a free-kick elsewhere on the pitch.But it is a contact sport and it’s natural that there will be a coming together in instances like that.Aside from the penalty award, Zwayer had a good game.There were fears decisions would go against England because of Jude Bellingham’s previous comments about Zwayer.Bellingham was fined £34,000 in 2021 for blaming Zwayer and his match-fixing past for Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich.But Zwayer was right to caution Bellingham for his reckless challenge on Stefan de Vrij in the second half.A third commented: “Fair play to Gareth there. At that exact moment I couldn’t string two words together, let alone coherent sentences.”A fourth said: “What great insight and sheer passion!”Another added: “Lovely content.”The winning goal sent fans, players and coaching staff into wild celebrations.Even England’s Dutch coach Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink got swept up in the moment before realising it came against his native country.Pundits Gary Neville and Ian Wright went wild in the ITV studio while Roy Keane remained his usual composed self.After the game, Watkins admitted that he had predicted that he would score the winner in a conversation with Cole Palmer.England face Spain in the final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Sunday.READ MORE SUN STORIESSpain made it to the final after beating France 2-1 in the first semi-final.England vs Spain recordEngland have played Spain 27 times in total – here is a look at every result…May 1929, Spain 4-3 England – International Friendly (L)December 1931, England 7-1 Spain – International Friendly (W)July 1950, Spain 1-0 England – World Cup (L)May 1955, Spain 1-1 England – International Friendly (D)November 1955, England 4-1 Spain – International Friendly (W)May 1960, Spain 3-0 England – International Friendly (L)October 1960, England 4-2 Spain – International Friendly (W)December 1965, Spain 0-2 England – International Friendly (W)May 1967, England 2-0 Spain – International Friendly (W)April 1968, England 1-0 Spain – European Championship (W)May 1968, Spain 1-2 England – European Championship (W)March 1980, Spain 0-2 England – International Friendly (W)June 1980, England 2-1 Spain – European Championship (W)March 1981, England 1-2 Spain – International Friendly (L)July 1982, Spain 0-0 England – World Cup (D)February 1987, Spain 2-4 England – International Friendly (W)September 1992, Spain 1-0 England – International Friendly (L)June 1996, England 0(4)-(2)0 Spain – European Championship (W)February 2001, England 3-0 Spain – International Friendly (W)November 2004, Spain 1-0 England – International Friendly (L)February 2007, England 0-1 Spain – International Friendly (L)February 2009, Spain 2-0 England – International Friendly (L)November 2011, England 1-0 Spain – International Friendly (W)November 2015, Spain 2-0 England – International Friendly (L)November 2016, England 2-2 Spain – International Friendly (D)September 2018, England 1-2 Spain – Nations League (L)October 2018, Spain 2-3 England – Nations League (W)Overall, England have won 14, drawn three and lost 10 matches against Spain.England ratings vs HollandENGLAND stormed into the final against Spain thanks to Ollie Watkins’ last-minute strike in the 2-1 win over Holland.It was a brilliant team performance, but how did each player rate?SunSport’s Tom Barclay ran the rule over Southgate’s boys, and here’s how he rated them.Jordan Pickford: 7Bigger goalkeepers may have got a stronger hand to Xavi Simons’ early stunner – though that was being hypercritical. Solid stop to deny Virgil van Dijk after the hour.Kyle Walker: 7Looked re-energised after some lumbering displays and bombed on at times in the first half, despite his role on the right of a back three. Last-ditch tackle on Cody Gakpo was spot on.John Stones: 7Strong in possession. He looks to have benefited from regular game-time after rarely featuring for Manchester City in the last few months.Marc Guehi: 6Came back into the side after suspension ruled him out of the Switzerland game. Had an unenviable task of making the big man Wout Weghorst after the break.Bukayo Saka: 7Razor-sharp in the first half, winning tackles, making runs and dribbling the ball proficiently. Less of an impact after the break, had a goal ruled out for offside and was booked.Declan Rice: 6Lost possession for Simons’ thunderous opener but grew into the game, mopping up where necessary. Poor pass when Kane was open midway through the second half.Kobbie Mainoo: 8Was England’s youngest-ever player to play in a major-tournament semi-final, aged 19years 82 days, and had a stormer in the first half. Great bursts forward, vital tackles, and his interplay with Foden was a joy.Kieran Trippier: 6We all know by now that he is playing out of position, so again he was limited going forward and reliable defensively. Subbed at half-time for the more natural Shaw.Phil Foden: 7The first 45 minutes was by far and away his best half of the tournament. Thought he’d scored when his shot was cleared off the line by Denzel Dumfries, and cracked the post with a cracker. But was then surprisingly subbed.Jude Bellingham: 5Back at the ground where he made his name but struggled to make much of an impact on his old stomping ground. Fortunate it was not he that was subbed.Harry Kane: 6Won and dispatched the penalty to go joint top-scorer in the tournament with three goals. Had looked more mobile initially but still tired badly after the break and was taken off.SUBSLuke Shaw (for Kieran Trippier, half-time): 6Looked assured for a man who has been out for so long.Ollie Watkins (for Harry Kane, 81): 9 and STAR MAN Surprisingly given the nod over Ivan Toney as striker sub as Southgate looked for more pace in behind. Brilliant finish into the corner to win the game – you could not ask more from him.Cole Palmer (for Phil Foden, 81): 7Had his big chance in the final minutes but shanked it horribly wide – but then fed Watkins for his wonderful winner.Gareth Southgate: 8His switch to a back three against Switzerland helped dig out the win there, and here it had his team finally playing some great football in the first half. The team went into their shells again as the game wore on and you feared the worst – but you have to say his decision to bring on Ollie Watkins was a masterstroke.  More
