More infoJeff Stelling - the former host of Soccer Saturday - has voiced his opinion that Mark Chapman should be the only contender to host Match of the Day when Gary Lineker steps down. His successor is yet to be announced, but Stelling has insisted that Chapman is the sole candidate worthy of filling Lineker's shoes. Chapman currently hosts Match of the Day 2 and has covered NFL and rugby league for the BBC. Mark Lawrenson, a long-time pundit for Match of the Day, also believes Chapman should be given the BBC's most prestigious sporting role. Speculation is rife with names like Alex Scott and Gabby Logan being mooted as possible successors to Lineker.
