Soccer AM is a British Saturday-morning football-based comedy/talk show, predominantly based around the Premier League.

In early 2009, the 500th episode was broadcast. Although the show is filmed live from 2010 it has been broadcast on a momentary delay due to bad language and/or inappropriate content from certain guests.

The show's current sponsor is Procter & Gamble through their Head & Shoulders brand. The show was previously sponsored by Frijj, a brand of milkshake, after Dairy Crest signed a £2 million sponsorship deal.

Parts of the show have remained since the beginning, whilst new items have been introduced each season.

The Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien released a public statement saying that he would not participate in moving Tonight to 12:05 a.m., asserting that it would damage the highly respected franchise.

Nachdem er seine Schullaufbahn beendet hatte, heuerte Ewan McGregor beim Perth Repertory Theater an. Anschließend studierte er Schauspiel an der Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. Er verließ die Schule jedoch kurz vor seinem Abschluß, um eine Rolle in Dennis Potters TV-Produktion Lipstick on your Collar anzunehmen.

1994 arbeitete Ewan McGregor in Kleine Morde unter Freunden zum ersten Mal mit dem Regisseur Danny Boyle zusammen, mit dem er 1996 schließlich Trainspotting – Neue Helden drehte. Trainspotting gehört zu den wichtigsten Filme des Jahres 1996, und machte Ewan McGregor auf einen Schlag bekannt.

Nach mehreren Independent-Produktionen unternahm Ewan McGreogor im Jahr 1999 seinen bisher kommerziell erfolgreichsten Ausflug ins Mainstream-Fach, als er die Rolle des Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode I – Die dunkle Bedrohung annahm und diese auch in den nachfolgenden Episoden Star Wars: Episode II – Angriff der Klonkrieger und Star Wars: Episode III – Die Rache der Sith spielte.

An der Seite von Nicole Kidman war Ewan McGregor im Jahre 2001 in Baz Luhrmanns Musical-Film Moulin Rouge zu sehen. Dort verkörperte er einen mittellosen Autor, der sich in eine stadtbekannte Kurtisane verliebt. Noch im selben Jahr war er in Ridley Scotts Kriegsfilm Black Hawk Down zu sehen und musste sich mit einer Gruppe von US-Spezialkräften durch die Straßen der somalischen Hauptstadt Mogadischu kämpfen.

Der Theaterbühne hatte Ewan McGregor nie ganz den Rücken gekehrt. Vom 20. Mai bis zum 3. Dezember 2005 stand er als Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls auf der Bühne des Londoner Piccadilly-Theaters und feierte dort große Erfolge. Er gewann unter anderem den wichtigen “What’s On Stage”-Award und wurde für einen Laurence Olivier-Award nominiert. Vom 30. November 2007 bis zum 23.

biography:
Ewan McGregor, születési nevén Ewan Gordon McGregor (Crieff, Skócia, 1971. március 31. –) Golden Globe-díjra jelölt skót színész. Első tévészerepét 1993-ban kapta a Lipstick on Your Collar sorozatban, melyben egy Elvis rajongót alakított. Első feltűnése a filmvásznon 1994-ben Robin Williams mellett az Ember a talpán című filmben volt. Ebben az évben ismerte meg Danny Boyle rendezőt, Andrew MacDonald producert és John Hodge forgatókönyvírót. Elkészítette velük a Sekély sírhant című filmet, mely nagy sikert jelentett Ewan számára. Ezután Peter Greeneway Párnakönyv című filmjében vállalt erotikus tartalmú szerepet.

1995-ben feleségül vette Eva Mavrakis francia látványtervezőt, akit egy tévéfilm forgatása közben ismert meg, 1996-ban lányuk született. 1996-ban ismét együtt dolgozott a trióval: Irvin Weshl Trainspotting című regényét adaptálták vászonra. A filmben egy kábítószerfüggő fiút alakít - a szerep miatt 15 kilót fogyott. A Trainspotting kultuszfilmmé vált az egész világon. A Fújhatjuk, az Élet sója és még néhány jelentősebb és jelentéktelenebb filmszerep után szerepet kapott George Lucas Csillagok háborúja filmsorozatának Obi-Wan Kenobi szerepére. McGregornak ezzel gyermekkori álma vált valóra. Rengeteget készült a szerepére, együtt edzett Liam Neesonnal, és tanulmányozta Alec Guinness filmjeit (Ő játszotta az idős Obi-Want a Star Warsban), hogy játéka emlékeztessen az övére. Később ismét egy amerikai szuperprodukcióban vállalt szerepet, a Moulin Rouge című filmben, ami Golden Globe jelölést hozott a színész számára. Majd szerepet kapott Ridley Scott A Sólyom végveszélyben című filmjében. A következő években alkoholproblémákkal küzdött, de sikeresen túljutott rajta. 2002-ben elvállalta a Young Adam főszerepét, melyben az egyik jelenetben szemből meztelenül látható. A film hatalmas sikert aratott, de az amerikai cenzúra kivágatta ezt a jelenetet a filmből. Ewan nagyon felháborodott ezen, amit szóvá is tett a film londoni bemutatóján. A teljes meztelenség megmutatása nem idegen a számára. Már felfedte bájait a Trainspotting, Velvet Goldmine és a Párnakönyv című filmekben is.

伊万·麦克格雷格

biography:
　　伊万·麦克格雷格是一位苏格兰电影演员，在英国主流电影、独立电影及艺术电影上均有杰出成就。Ewan向来排斥好莱坞电影，偏爱文艺片。但他也在好莱坞取得优异的成绩，是好莱坞发展最好的英国男演员之一。他是多变的苏格兰情人，爱笑的英国绅士，只要一出现在银幕上，他总有种神奇的力量让你的视线在他身上聚焦。

　　9岁那年，他的叔叔（或舅舅）Denis Lawson在星球大战里出演了一个角色，这部影片不仅令小Ewan着魔，并令他立志成为一个演员。16岁他离家前往苏格兰的帕斯剧院打工，很快辗转到伦敦的一所音乐和戏剧学校学习表演。他的起步角色是在英国的电视剧集《你衣领上的唇印》（Lipstick on Your Collar）中饰演一个Elvis迷。Ewan的第一部大银幕作品是《Being Human》，他在其中饰演只有一句台词的小角色，然而片子遭到了惨败。Ewan在学校原修习音乐和戏剧，为了发展演艺事业而不再升学。从影初期便以电视「Lipstick on Your Collar」受到瞩目，92年他离开音乐戏剧学校后，开始在影坛有演出机会，展露自己表演的天分。刚开始在比尔佛塞斯的《跨世奇人》及《蓝汁》接演小角色后，诡谲的黑色氛围让电影成功在市场获得好评，并获英国影艺学院肯定，也让大家注意到Ewan，演技开始受各方瞩目和关切，不过光芒仍多半围绕在导演本身。

　　自伊万·麦克格雷格从苏格兰最肮脏的厕所走出的那一刻起，就享受到了万千宠爱于一身的滋味。观众们喜爱他，影评人们疼爱他，就连那些一向狂妄自大的愤青们也将他视为追逐的对象。伊万·麦克格雷格在学校原本修习的是音乐和戏剧，为了发展演艺事业而不再升学。从影不久与丹尼·鲍伊尔合作《魔鬼一族》获英国影艺学院肯定，也让大家注意到了他的演技。两年后两人二度合作叫好叫座的英国小品《猜火车》，成功的从英国市场打入全球，这个公认的电影边缘人，用《猜火车》中经典的痞子形象和惊世骇俗的表演让人们领略了他的疯狂与叛逆。后来的《枕边书》和《天鹅绒金矿》，伊万那毫不顾忌地裸露，不得不让影评人们感叹于他的表演欲望。

　　伊万·麦克格雷格的完美让人感觉不真实，他可以是《猜火车》中那个颓废叛逆的青年，也可以是《星战前传》中矫健果敢的“欧比旺”，或者是《红磨坊》中痴情缠绵的风流才子。在复古浪漫爱情片《随爱沉沦》中，他扮演的是一位能让女人为自己疯狂的“花花公子”，但接受媒体采访时，伊万·麦奎格坦白地说：“我从来就不是花花公子，因为我没有那么多钱打扮自己。”

　　众所周知，伊万十分抵触好莱坞，反感、鄙视，一样都不少。但奇怪的是，好莱坞却很热衷于这个不听话的大男孩儿，也不遗余力地将他推向了真正巨星的地位。也许只有这样一个叛逆的另类，才可以在和女人翻云覆雨之后，立刻摆出一副天真的表情在《大鱼》里给人们讲述童话故事。Ewan McGregor并不是一个Hollywood式的明星，尽管他已经是好莱坞最讨人喜欢的大明星。在他出演了《猜火车》中那个钻入马桶的反英雄Mark Renton，并仅接着在接下来的古装片《Emma》中摇身一变成为19世纪英国社会温文尔雅的绅士之后，他教所有人领略到了什么才叫做Cool。随后，因为好莱坞对他的穷追猛打，使得他也接了部分好莱坞影片，包括星球大战等。但是，他并不会那么轻易地上好莱坞的钩，反而看似没有规矩地接拍了许多风格迥异的影片。

　　1995年7月22日，伊万·麦克格雷格在法国的一个小镇与Eve Mavrakis结婚。Eve Mavrakis是一位法国产品设计师，当伊万在英国电视剧集《Kavanagh QC》友情客串时两人相识。他们育有两个女儿，Clara Mathilde（1996年2月出生）及Esther Rose（2001年11月出生）。2006年4月伊万夫妇收养了一位四岁的蒙古女孩。伊万非常保护女儿的生活，尽可能不让她们被媒体拍摄，并曾为被偷拍而采取过法律手段。

　　虽然荧幕前的Ewan看起来很叛逆甚至很疯狂，但私底下的Ewan却是个绝对的好男人，他不抽烟、不喝酒，还没有一点儿花边新闻，绯闻两个字和他压根扯不上关系。在和妻子Eve Mavrakis15年的婚姻里， 也没有发生任何风风雨雨和不愉快的事情。随着年纪越来越大，Ewan总结出他生命中最让他幸福的三件事：家庭、工作和他不断增加的收藏的摩托车。

伊雲·麥葵格

biography:
伊雲·麥葵格是一位蘇格蘭電影演員，在英國主流電影、獨立電影及藝術電影上均有傑出成就。伊雲向來排斥荷裏活電影，偏愛文藝片。但他也在荷裏活取得優異的成績，是荷裏活發展最好的英國男演員之一。他是多變的蘇格蘭情人，愛笑的英國紳士，只要一齣現在銀幕上，他總有種神奇的力量讓你的視線在他身上聚焦。

九歲那年，他的叔叔（或舅舅）Denis Lawson 在星球大戰裏出演了一個角色，這部影片不僅令小伊雲著魔，並令他立志成為一個演員。十六歲他離家前往蘇格蘭的帕斯劇院打工，很快輾轉到倫敦的一所音樂和戲劇學校學習表演。他的起步角色是在英國的電視劇集《Lipstick on Your Collar》中飾演一個 Elvis 迷。伊雲的第一部大銀幕作品是《Being Human》，他在其中飾演只有一句台詞的小角色，然而片子遭到了慘敗。伊雲在學校原修習音樂和戲劇，為了發展演藝事業而不再升學。從影初期便以電視《Lipstick on Your Collar》受到矚目，92 年他離開音樂戲劇學校後，開始在影壇有演出機會，展露自己表演的天分。剛開始在 Bill Forsyth 的《Being Human》及《Blue Juice》接演小角色後，詭譎的黑色氛圍讓電影成功在市場獲得好評，並獲英國影藝學院肯定，也讓大家注意到伊雲，演技開始受各方矚目和關切，不過光芒仍多半圍繞在導演本身。

自伊雲·麥葵格從蘇格蘭最骯髒的廁所走出的那一刻起，就享受到了萬千寵愛於一身的滋味。觀眾們喜愛他，影評人們疼愛他，就聯那些一向狂妄自大的憤青們也將他視為追逐的對象。伊雲·麥葵格在學校原本修習的是音樂和戲劇，為了發展演藝事業而不再升學。從影不久與丹尼·波爾合作《同屋三分驚》獲英國影藝學院肯定，也讓大家注意到了他的演技。兩年後兩人二度合作叫好叫座的英國小品《迷幻列車》，成功的從英國市場打入全球，這個公認的電影邊緣人，用《迷幻列車》中經典的流氓形象和驚世駭俗的表演讓人們領略了他的瘋狂與叛逆。後來的《枕邊禁書》和《紫醉金迷》，伊雲那毫不顧忌地裸露，不得不讓影評人們感嘆於他的表演慾望。

伊雲·麥葵格的完美讓人感覺不真實，他可以是《迷幻列車》中那個頹廢叛逆的青年，也可以是《星戰前傳》中矯健果敢的“Obi - Wan”，或者是《情陷紅磨坊》中痴情纏綿的風流才子。在復古浪漫愛情片《愛情唔上身》中，他扮演的是一位能讓女人為自己瘋狂的“花花公子”，但接受媒體採訪時，伊雲·麥葵格坦白地説：“我從來就不是花花公子，因為我沒有那麼多錢打扮自己。”

眾所周知，伊雲十分抵制荷裏活，反感、鄙視，一樣都不少。但奇怪的是，荷裏活卻很熱衷於這個不聽話的大男孩兒，也不遺餘力地將他推向了真正巨星的地位。也許只有這樣一個叛逆的另類，才可以在和女人翻雲覆雨之後，立刻擺出一副天真的表情在《大魚奇緣》裏給人們講述童話故事。伊雲·麥葵格並不是一個荷裏活式的明星，儘管他已經是荷裏活最討人喜歡的大明星。在他出演了《迷幻列車》中那個鑽入馬桶的反英雄 Mark Renton，並僅接著在接下來的古裝片《芳心愛漫遊》中搖身一變成為 19 世紀英國社會温文爾雅的紳士之後，他教所有人領略到了什麼才叫做 Cool。隨後，因為荷裏活對他的窮追猛打，使得他也接了部份荷裏活影片，包括星球大戰等。但是，他並不會那麼輕易地上荷裏活的鈎，反而看似沒有規矩地接拍了許多風格迥異的影片。

1995 年 7 月 22 日，伊雲·麥葵格在法國的一個小鎮與 Eve Mavrakis 結婚。Eve Mavrakis 是一位法國產品設計師，當伊雲在英國電視劇集《Kavanagh QC》友情客串時兩人相識。他們育有兩個女兒，Clara Mathilde（1996 年 2 月出生）及 Esther Rose（2001 年 11 月出生）。2006 年 4 月伊雲夫婦收養了一位四歲的蒙古女孩。伊雲非常保護女兒的生活，儘可能不讓她們被媒體拍攝，並曾為被偷拍而採取過法律手段。

雖然螢幕前的 伊雲看起來很叛逆甚至很瘋狂，但私底下的 伊雲卻是個絕對的好男人，他不抽煙、不喝酒，還沒有一點兒花邊新聞，緋聞兩個字和他壓根扯不上關係。在和妻子 Eve Mavrakis 十五年的婚姻裏，也沒有發生任何風風雨雨和不愉快的事情。隨著年紀癒來癒大，伊雲總結出他生命中最讓他幸福的三件事：家庭、工作和他不斷增加的收藏的電單車。

Ewan Gordon McGregor, 31 Mart 1971 tarihinde Perth, İskoçya'da dünyaya gelmiştir. Öğretmen bir anne ve babanın oğlu olarak Crieff kasabasında büyüyen McGregor'ın oyunculuğa yönelmesindeki en büyük ilham kaynaklarından biri, orijinal "Star Wars" üçlemesinde Wedge Antilles'i canlandıran aktör dayısı Denis Lawson oldu. Londra'daki Guildhall Müzik ve Drama Okulu'nda eğitim alan McGregor, mezuniyetine kısa bir süre kala Dennis Potter'ın "Lipstick on Your Collar" (1993) dizisinde başrolü kaparak profesyonel kariyerine hızlı bir giriş yaptı.

McGregor'ın kariyerindeki ilk büyük çıkış, yönetmen Danny Boyle ile kurduğu başarılı işbirliği sayesinde geldi. "Mezarını Derin Kaz" (Shallow Grave) (1994) filmiyle dikkatleri üzerine çeken aktör, asıl küresel şöhretini yine Boyle'un yönettiği ve Irvine Welsh'in romanından uyarlanan kült film "Trainspotting"de (1996) canlandırdığı eroin bağımlısı Mark Renton karakteriyle kazandı. Bu rol, onu dönemin en heyecan verici İngiliz aktörlerinden biri olarak konumlandırdı.

Bağımsız sinemadaki başarısının ardından McGregor, sinema tarihinin en büyük serilerinden birine adım attı. George Lucas'ın "Star Wars" öncül üçlemesinde ("The Phantom Menace" 1999, "Attack of the Clones" 2002, "Revenge of the Sith" 2005) efsanevi Jedi ustası Obi-Wan Kenobi'nin gençliğini canlandırdı. Sir Alec Guinness'in mirasını başarıyla devralan aktör, bu rolle dünya çapında bir ikon haline geldi. Aynı dönemde Baz Luhrmann'ın müzikali "Kırmızı Değirmen"de (Moulin Rouge!) (2001) Nicole Kidman ile başrolü paylaşarak şarkı söyleme yeteneğini sergiledi ve Altın Küre adaylığı kazandı.

Çok yönlü bir oyuncu olarak tanınan McGregor, Tim Burton'ın "Büyük Balık" (Big Fish) (2003), aksiyon filmi "Ada" (The Island) (2005), Woody Allen'ın "Cassandra'nın Rüyası" (2007) ve felaket filmi "Kıyamet Günü" (The Impossible) (2012) gibi çok farklı türlerdeki yapımlarda yer aldı. 2017 yılında "Trainspotting 2" ile ikonik rolüne geri döndü. Televizyon dünyasında da büyük başarılar elde eden aktör, "Fargo" dizisinin üçüncü sezonunda (2017) canlandırdığı ikiz kardeşler rolüyle Altın Küre Ödülü kazanırken, moda tasarımcısı Roy Halston'ı canlandırdığı Netflix dizisi "Halston" (2021) ile Emmy Ödülü'ne layık görüldü.

Star Wars evrenine 2022 yapımı Disney+ dizisi "Obi-Wan Kenobi" ile geri dönen ve aynı zamanda yapımcılığını üstlenen McGregor, son olarak "A Gentleman in Moscow" (2024) dizisinde Kont Alexander Rostov karakterine hayat vermiştir. Oyunculuğunun yanı sıra büyük bir motosiklet tutkunu olan McGregor, arkadaşı Charley Boorman ile birlikte dünyayı motosikletle dolaştıkları "Long Way Round", "Long Way Down" ve "Long Way Up" adlı belgesel serileriyle de tanınmaktadır.
