Jeff Stelling

Jeff Stelling (b.1955) is a presenter of Countdown. He will take over from Des O'Connor at the start of Championship of Champions XIII in January 2009, prior to Series 60. He is best known for hosting Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday programme, an afternoon-long show of previous, 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 Coronotation Street character of the same name, while a red card for Gareth Jelleyman lead Stelling to comment that "Jelleyman has thrown a wobbly", a slang term for losing your temper which also relates to the consistancy of jelly.
