Being the first female match reporter on Soccer Saturday is something I'm immensely proud of & that can never be taken away from me. "I've covered hundreds & hundreds of games, I've interviewed hundreds of players & managers. I've watched hours & hours of football. Years of experience (I said what I said!) that will live with me forever. For the most part, it's been a blast. "I'm grateful to you the viewers for watching over the years & for all your support. To those I've worked with who've been a big part of my life at Sky, you know who you are, thanks for the memories. On to the next chapter. Buzzing for it". And Stelling paid tribute to Westwood, tweeting: "@beewestwood such a great girl, such a great reporter. I have to say that of course as we are doing 30+ theatre tour in Jan and Feb. But I also mean it !!" Soccer Saturday had a very different look when it return){kind=link}
