Goals on Sunday

The story

Goals on Sunday is a British television show on Sky Sports 1 that shows highlights and analysis of Premier League, Scottish Premier League and Football League Championship matches. Shown on a Sunday morning, the programme is fronted by Chris Kamara and Ben Shephard. Kamara has formerly presented the show with Ian Payne, Rob McCaffrey and Claire Tomlinson.

The show is largely popular for the guest analysts who appear on the show. These are mainly players, ex-players managers or ex-managers and they often exchange jokes with the presenters. It has been described as two hours of mostly Premier League highlights that is set apart from Sky Sports’ world of swooshing graphics by its opening titles.

Tomlinson left the show in October 2007 and was replaced until the end of the season by Paul Boardman with a handful of appearances from Jeff Stelling.

Ian Payne was confirmed as Kamara's new co-presenter ahead of the 2008/2009 season, and his arrival coincided with the show's new set and titles. Payne left the show in 2010 and was set to be replaced with David Jones

However, Ben Shephard was later confirmed as the new co-presenter.

The show's theme tune is the Faith No More cover version of The Commodores single Easy. The studio background is a view across Surrey Quays in London's docklands.
