==History==
'''''Jimmy Hill's Sunday Supplement''''' was a Sunday morning TV show in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] about sport, with an emphasis on [[football (soccer)|football]]. It is shown on [[Sky Sports|Sky Sports 1]].

[[Jimmy Hill]] and newspaper columnists sit around a table and discuss the latest football news and gossip, including a look at the Sunday sports pages. It was initially alleged that it was actually filmed in Hills' kitchen but the truth came to light on several occasions in 2006 when Jimmy was late claiming to be stuck in traffic.


The programme was the successor to the Friday night discussion show ''Hold the Back Page''.
In 2007, Sky Sports decided to axe Hill in preference of four journalists discussing the weekend's football. The move was unpopular with some fans of the show, who thought that Sky were letting go of a star. These fears proved groundless, however, and under Brian Woolnough's chairmanship, the programme has improved. It retains a loyal fan base. This is due to the simple but essential nature of the format, and also to the quality of the guests. The journalists round the table vary (and rightly so), but regulars include Henry Winter, Sean Custis, Patrick Barclay and Bill McGarry. The attraction for the viewers, in addition to the fact that they can be sure the main talking points from that week(end) will be discussed, is that the panelists genuinely care about football. The disagreements (and occasional tensions) between them are spontaneous, and not a mere put-on for the cameras. {{Fact|date=September 2007}}

History

[edit]

Launched under the stewardship of Jimmy Hill, three guest football journalists sit around a table over breakfast/brunch and discuss the latest football matches, news and gossip, including a look at the football stories in the Sunday newspapers.[1]

The proposal was that it was set in Hill's actual kitchen, with fans trying to guess where his home was from the window view.[2] But the truth came to light on several occasions in 2006 when Hill was late claiming to be stuck in traffic.[3][4]

The programme was the successor to the Friday night discussion show Hold the Back Page.

Revamp

[edit]

In 2007, Sky Sports decided not to renew Hill's 12-month contract,[2] which coincided with the removal of his name from the title.

The presenter role was given to either Bill Bradshaw and Brian Woolnough. The format and setting remained consistent set over a breakfast/brunch table, but guest football journalists increased from two to three. Woolnough later took on the permanent presenter role, with regular guests including Patrick Barclay, Oliver Holt, Martin Samuel, Paul Smith and Henry Winter. After Woolnough's death in September 2012, Neil Ashton went on to host the programme after having initially stood in during his predecessor's illness. On 12 January 2020, Ashton presented the show for the final time.[5] Jacqui Oatley was announced as the new presenter of the show on 14 January 2020.[6]

Beginning in 2009, a podcast of the show was made available on the Sky Sports website[7] and iTunes.[8]

In August 2020, Sky announced the show had been cancelled for the 2020/21 season, blaming the congested fixture schedule.[9] A podcast continues, hosted by Vicky Gomersall and Darren Lewis.
