Two of Soccer AM’s original hosts are reuniting to relive the 90s ‘Golden Era’ of football and in a new Mail football podcast.
Tim Lovejoy and Helen ‘Hells Bells’ Chamberlain will host Soccer A-Z, a new weekly podcast series taking a nostalgic irreverent, and hilarious dive into football’s past and present.
The new podcast will be launched on Wednesday September 4 and will be available wherever you get your podcasts.
Tim and Helen were the original hosts of Soccer AM for over a decade. Alongside a 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 with Helen being a trailblazer for women in football broadcasting and Tim a national treasure, their departure left a nation in mourning.
But now the pair have reunited and are bringing back the trademark chemistry, humour and footy chat their fans know and love for a brand-new project.
Soccer A-Z is the football podcast fans have been waiting for, and each episode tackles a variety of football-related challenges and triumphs, as decided by the letter of the week.
The podcast wont just endlessly discuss clubs, the players and the money – as producers have vowed to keep fans in mind every step of the way.
People travelling down memory lane are in for a treat too there will be familiar faces to discuss the latest happenings in the football world.
It will also give fans a chance to test themselves against some of the greatest footballing minds with a weekly quiz.
While the podcast has been modernised – there will be no more Soccerette – Soccer A-Z promises to bring back the cherished spirit of their beloved show.
