What Was the Joke That Nearly Took Soccer AM Off Air?

Soccer A-Z · 2025-03-07

Welcome back to Soccer A-Z, for our ‘Questions and Quiz’ edition!

The gang - as always - start by answering your questions and debating whether they’d rather see club or country succeed in football, discussing the joke that nearly took them off air!

It’s Brighton vs Wolves in the ‘Unfair Football Quiz’ as Joe takes on Adam. As this week’s featured letter was ‘W’ - questions include:


Can you name two ‘Wham’ songs?

Who weed on the St Andrews pitch?

Which Dutch player scored a worldie in the ’88 Euros final?


(It’s a blinder this week, as one of our contestants manages both a coughing fit, and his inability to decipher the rules of the dreaded penalty shootout)

Soccer A-Z

Tim Lovejoy and Helen Chamberlain were the original hosts of Soccer AM for over a decade. Alongside a hilarious team of sidekicks the pair heralded what many consider to be a golden era in sports broadcasting. The mix of comedy, pop culture and razor sharp football analysis was just what the fans wanted… and deserved. With Helen being a trailblazer for women in football broadcasting and Tim a national treasure second only to the Queen Mother*, their departure left a nation in mourning… until now!

Helen and Tim have reunited and are bringing back the trademark chemistry, humour and footy chat their fans know and love for a fantastic, brand-new project. Arriving on 4th September 2024, Soccer A-Z is the news fans have been waiting for.

Each week, Soccer A-Z will be led by nothing other than the alphabet, surprise! Each episode tackles a variety of football-related challenges and triumphs, as decided by the letter of the week. This is more than a podcast talking about the clubs, the players and the money – Soccer A-Z will have the fans in mind every step of the way.

People travelling down memory lane are in for a treat too… there will be familiar faces aplenty to break down the latest happenings in the football world (Hi Sheephead! Hi Tubes! Hi Robbie!). Plus, if you fancy your chances against some of the greatest minds the world has ever seen, you’ll also love the weekly quiz...

Whilst the weather will now be told fully clothed, there’s no saving chip and 2024 would not look too kindly at a Soccerette, Soccer A-Z promises to bring the cherished spirit back to life! Hear it through the fans' eyes.
