Sky Sports ‘bring back iconic football show that ran for 20 years' after it was axed in 2020
SKY SPORTS are set to bring a hugely popular format back to fans' screens, according to reports. The broadcasting giant are reportedly planning on bringing back a Sunday media review show - similar to previous fan favourite show Sunday Supplement. 1 Sunday Supplement, which ran for 20 years, was axed by Sky Sports back in 2020. But, according to the Mail Online, the company has now decided to resurrect the format, but won't be bringing the name back to life with it. Sunday Supplement saw industry insiders and journalists talk through the weekend's drama and chat about the major stories set for the papers too. Despite its disappearance off screens five years ago, Sky still gave fans a taste of the show in podcast form in the years since. It's claimed that Sky Sports are expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks. SunSport have approached Sky for comment. Sunday Supplement first formed part of Sky's offering in 1999 under the name of Hold The Back Page. The show was first hosted by former Match of the Day host Jimmy Hill, while other hosts over the years included Brian Woolnough and Neil Ashton. And high-profile panelists involved in show included the likes of Henry Winter and Oliver Holt. Sky pointed to the congested football calendar following Covid-19 as one of the reasons they chose to take Sunday Supplement off air.

Gary Lineker expected to leave BBC sooner than planned after antisemitism row
'When the story-teller becomes the story, there's usually one ending' We're getting reaction from the sport and media world. Football journalist Henry Winter says Lineker "has been an accomplished presenter for the BBC... [he] brings insight, calm and wit, and effortlessly gets the best from studio pundits and guests". But, says Winter, "Lineker has become increasingly associated with non-footballing issues which overshadow his role as a football presenter. "He's absolutely entitled to his views (whether people agree with them or not) but they've become a distraction... "When the story-teller becomes the story there's usually only one ending. It's sad it's ending this way."

'Fairytales do come true'
Football journalist Henry Winter has shared his tribute to Jamie Vardy after the Leicester striker confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season."He's just one of life's characters," Winter told BBC Radio Leicester's fan forum."I don't think in the time I've known him he has particularly changed. He's down to earth, he's great fun, and look at what he has achieved, particularly from a slow start."It's nine years since the title run and it was just amazing."Everyone talks about his physical pace but there was a mental speed and agility that set him apart."He's got seven Premier League goals this season. It hasn't been a vintage season for him but it's not been a vintage season for the club."When you look at Jamie Vardy play, he does give everything. He leaves the field with sweat on his shirt every time. He's still got a role left in him with another club."I know Leicester fans and I know when he returns one day, even in the colours of another club, he will get a big salute because he absolutely deserves it. He is Leicester's greatest ever player."The legacy he will leave at the club is Foxes never quit. The legacy is for all of us in life - just never give up, persist, because fairytales do come true."
