Goals On Sunday is a British TV Show on Sky Sports 1 that shows highlights and analysis of Premier League and Football League matches. Shown on a Sunday morning, the programme is fronted by Chris Kamara and Ian Payne. The show was formerly presented by Kamara and co-host, Rob McCaffrey, but at the start of the 2007/2008 season, Claire Tomlinson was chosen to replace McCaffrey.

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.

Tomlinson was axed from the show in October 2007 for failing to apoligise for an outburst from Derby County goalkeeper Stephen Bywater, who spelled out letter-by-letter a derogatory term, "cunt", live on air. She 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.

[edit] Goals On Sunday - Yorkshire TV

"Goals On Sunday" was also the title of a football highlights show for the Yorkshire Televison region. The show lasted 30 minutes beginning with a main 10 minute match from the previous day, mostly commentated by John Helm. Leeds United or one of the Sheffield teams (Wednesday or United) were usually featured with interviews afterwards. Highlights of each match from the remainder of the Yorkshire region's Football League teams were then shown. The show started in October 1989 and ran until the early 2000's.[1]
