Used to be a regular viewer back in the day when my son worked for Sky and I had access to all channels for free. Now not so much.
That was yonks ago when Tim Lovejoy was the main man before he started doing cooking and stuff with that irritating lad Rimmer, who was much better in Red Dwarf.

I see there's some other gadgie doing Soccer AM nowadays, but I don't recognise him. But fuckin hell, Helen Chamberlain hasn't aged well.

Only watched it because of Helen Chamberlain. Went right off her when she took up with that knob James Wade.
 
Tim Lovejoy was a great presenter - I've only ever seen him doing Soccer AM though.

I always thought Tom Zanelli on Hibs TV was very similar to him.
 
The only thing I remember of AM was some dancing competition they had and a guy called “TUBES”, won it 🤣
 
Forgot about Tubes, mildly amusing to mildly irritating.
The guy that ruined it for me was the ‘funny’ guy who did visits to grounds impersonating (badly) Danny Dyer.
Hit the mute button when that unfunny shouter was on.
Like @Bangkokhibby and probably countless others, I found Helen a much better attraction than Tubes or Fanny Fryer or whoever he was.
 
Soccer AM was brilliant back in the day! Tim Lovejoy / Helen Chamberlain era. They had Hibs fans on it a fair few times IIRC. Some of the "banter" between Lovejoy and the Soccerette was definitely "of its time" though I'd say 👀

It's been utter garbage for years though, reduced in length and just seems to involve daft challenges for Jimmy Bullard these days. Pish.
 
Used to be great years ago but pretty well unwatchable these days. Tried a couple of times and switched off after a couple of minutes. From being quite amusing in his playing days, Jimmy Bullard I now find irritating. Long past its day and needs putting out of its misery.
