'''Episode 4778''' was broadcast on 20 March 2009, as part of [[Series 60]].
'''Jeff Stelling''' (b. December 6, 1955) is a presenter of ''Countdown''. He took over from [[Des O'Connor]] at the start of [[Championship of Champions XIII]] in January 2009, prior to [[Series 60]], at the same time as [[Rachel Riley]] replaced [[Carol Vorderman]]. He is best known for hosting Sky Sports' ''Soccer Saturday'' programme, an afternoon-long show of previews, reports and goal updates. He is noted for his frequent use of puns involving player names - a goal by an Abroath player called Kevin Webster was greeted with the comment "Sally will be pleased" in reference to the Coronation Street character of the same name, while a red card for Gareth Jelleyman led Mr Stelling to comment that "Jelleyman has thrown a wobbly", a slang term for losing your temper which also relates to the consistancy of jelly. One of his worst puns was used in conjunction with [[Matt Le Tissier]], posing the question "How did "Agger do, do, do"?", relating to a pun on the song {{w|Agadoo}} and Liverpool defender {{w|Daniel Agger}}. Some of his puns overspilled into ''Countdown'', drawing comparisons with [[Richard Whiteley]].


In 2009 he published a book of that title which mostly concentrates on anecdotes from ''Soccer Saturday'' but also has a short chapter on his appointment to ''Countdown''.
[[Stephen Porritt]] played [[Tony Robinson (Series 60)|Tony Robinson]], with Stephen Porritt winning {{score|76|66}}, after a tie-break conundrum. The [[Dictionary Corner]] guest was [[Brian Capron]], and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Susie Dent]].


On 24 May 2011, Stelling announced that he would leave ''Countdown'' at the end of [[Series 65]] in order to focus fully on his Sky commitments. [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1390466/Jeff-Stelling-quits-Countdown-just-years.html?ito=feeds-newsxml] However, he has since said that he would like to stay on the programme.
