 (Later Sally Faber, now Sally Johnson). Sally started at TSW as a continuity announcer/news reader. She was there under contract for one year. She then left to present the 'Ford Ski Report' for Sky Channel in 1987/1988, then 'Ski Sunday' for the BBC with David Vine in 1988/1989 (by now, Sally Faber, having married former West Wiltshire MP David Faber, the grandson of Harold MacMillan, in October 1988).
After a few years full time presenting corporate videos for companies such as Ford, Tesco, British Airways, Duty Free, BHS, National Electric and Nuclear Power, and researching, writing and presenting for BMW, Sally had her first child in 1992. She then moved to LNN at Carlton TV in London as a weather presenter. After eighteen months there, she presented a live phone-in show twice weekly on the Travel Channel and interviewed over forty celebrities.
In 1995 and again in 1996, she worked for Anglia Television on two series of 'Countrywide', where she had to take up twenty-four sports over two years, including race riding, land yachting and microlighting. Following this, she presented a series of programmes for Channel 4 on 'Polo'.
After having a second child (mid-1997), she went into semi-retirement. Sally presented a sports programme for Sky Sports for a couple of years, covering the British Polo season. More recently, she has been involved in interviewing for HCTV, a new digital channel. She lives between the USA and Gloucestershire, with her three children.

 (OBE). Jimmy is a former Brentford (1949 - 1953) and Fulham footballer (1953 - 1961) and later manager at Coventry City (1961 - 1967). He famously campaigned, as PFA Chairman in 1957, to have the football league's £20 maximum wage scrapped.
He moved into broadcasting, first as technical advisor on BBC drama 'United!' (1965 - 1967) and then became head of sport at LWT from 1967 - 1972. He also fronted their 1970 World Cup coverage which, at his suggestion, used the first panel of football pundits. He was briefly LWT's deputy controller of programmes, before joining the BBC in 1973 to present 'Match Of The Day'.
He made over 600 appearances, becoming a TV icon, instantly recognisable and often caricatured for his long chin and distinctive beard. As a presenter or analyst, he worked on every major international football championship from 1966 - 1998.
In 1999, he moved to Sky Sports to present 'Jimmy Hill's Sunday Supplement', a weekly discussion show between himself and three football journalists conducted over a Sunday breakfast.
