Soccer AM's All-Sports Show

Soccer AM's All Sports Show was a television programme that was a spin-off of Sky Sports' popular Saturday-morning show Soccer AM, launched in 2002 and originally hosted by Tim Lovejoy and Helen Chamberlain until 2004 when Andy Goldstein replaced Lovejoy.

It was shown on every Friday during the football season from 6-7:00 p.m. on Sky Sports 1, with repeats shown regularly throughout the night on Sky3 and Sky Sports 2.

When Lovejoy left Soccer AM in the summer of 2007, Goldstein was again called to replace him leaving the future of the All-Sports show in doubt. At the end of the 10th and final All Sports Show podcast it was confirmed that the show would not be returning for the 2007-08 season. The shows web site was also taken down. The majority of the production team's transfer to the main Soccer AM show is a contributory factor in the show ending.

Format

Unlike its sister programme, The All Sports show focuses on a wider range of sports. This means that as well as football, sports like cricket, rugby (both Union and League) and even "American sports" like the NFL and the NBA are covered on the show.

For example, in week one and three, Helen Chamberlain was not present in the studio, but did appear on the phone. The other team members consist of Tom, Dave, Trev and Adam. Tom, Dave and Adam have all missed shows, but Trev has constantly being present for the shows recording. In episode seven, both Dave and Adam could not make it, so Soocer AM star Chris Nutbean had to stand in to make up the numbers. The show has the same format each week, consisting off:
