Soccer Saturday’s Jeff Stelling to visit Dundee with only Scottish date for sell-out show

Soccer Saturday frontman Jeff Stelling is bringing his sellout show to Dundee later this year.

The legendary Sky Sports presenter will be joined by current and former panelists Charlie Nicholas, Matt Le Tissier and Phil Thompson.

Stelling, who has led the hugely popular show for more than 25-years is heading to the Whitehall Theatre on Sunday 10 April.

It is the show’s only Scottish date.

The five stars will discuss everything football, including highlights from their own careers and current hot topics.

The presenter is due to leave the show at the end of this season while ex Celtic and Scotland star Nicholas, Le Tissier and Thompson were axed from the show in 2020.

The show - called ‘An Unbelievable Evening with Jeff Sterling and The Boys’ - is raising money for Dundee club Riverside CSC to mark their 10th anniversary.

It follows a talk-in with former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp in December.

Charlie Nicholas said: “I can’t wait to return to Dundee. Dundonians have always been passionate about everything football has to offer.

“The game was the highlight of the season and the late, great Tommy Burns’ goal was worthy of goal of the season.”

While England and Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier added: “I’m really looking forward to visiting Dundee, it’s our only Scottish date.

“I know the Scottish fans love their football so I’m sure we’ll have a great night.

“During my football career I never actually played against either Dundee or Dundee United so I’ve never been in a playing capacity.

“However I do enjoy a game of golf and have experienced a few of the courses in and around the city.”

David Burns, Riverside CSC Secretary/Manager said: “To follow our successful event with Harry Redknapp was always going to be a difficult task. However I think we have just about managed it with Jeff and The Boys.

"It's going to be a great night. Like all amateur football clubs, success and continued sustainability is achieved through committed volunteers and support with our fundraising efforts.

"We are looking forward to the night and hope people will come along and enjoy themselves. The support is appreciated.”
