Robbie Fowler, actress Sue Johnston and WWE legend Mick Foley are all on this week's show!
Kick off your weekend in style with Helen, Max and the gang
The Carling Cup final takes centre stage on another star-studded
Soccer AM!
Cardiff City and Liverpool will go head-to-head at Wembley on Sunday so kicking things off will be a man who's played for both clubs; the one and only Robbie Fowler!
Known simply as 'God' among Liverpool fans the Toxteth-born hitman scored 128 league goals during two spells with the Reds, helping the club to four trophies in 2001: the FA Cup, the League Cup, the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.
The Premier League's fourth highest goalscorer of all-time, Fowler will go down as one of the most talented strikers of his generation. Capped 26 times by England, he was twice named PFA Young Player of the Year during his first spell with Liverpool.
His impressive scoring record continued away from Anfield at both Leeds and Manchester City, before he made an emotional return to Anfield in 2006.
After helping to guide Rafael Benitez's men to their second European Cup final in two years against AC Milan, Fowler headed to Cardiff in search of regular first team football. A spell with Blackburn followed before the Kop favourite opted for a new adventure Down Under in the Australian A-League.
The 36-year-old has since returned to England - albeit via a short stint managing Thailand side Muangthong United - and will be looking ahead to Sunday's showpiece, as well shedding light on his future and a possible adventure in India!
Royle Family
Joining Fowler on the orange sofas will be fellow Liverpudlian, Sue Johnston!
The BAFTA nominated actress spent eight years playing Sheila Grant in the Channel 4 drama Brookside, but is probably best known among Soccer AM viewers for her role in the award-winning The Royle Family.
The hilarious sitcom ran for three series', but has returned for numerous Christmas specials, with more potentially in the pipeline according to reports.
A Liverpool season ticket holder, Johnston - who has also starred in Inspector Morse, Walking the Dead and Jam & Jerusalem - is also good friends with Reds legend and current gaffer, Kenny Dalglish.
Liverpool's last visit to Wembley, 16 years ago, ended in disappointment as they were beaten 1-0 by bitter rivals Manchester United, with Fowler on the bench and Johnston in the stand... unfortunately for the 68-year-old, she was in the United end!
Helen and Max will be asking all the questions and they'll be finding out where she'll be watching the game this time and if Kenny Dalglish has let her in on his game plan!
Legend
Completing this week's line-up, and with no link to Liverpool or Cardiff whatsoever, will be WWE legend Mick Foley!
A four-time Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, Foley is one of the most famous wrestlers in the world. His different personas including Dude Love, Cactus Jack and Mankind have been entertaining the wrestling viewing world for over 20 years.
The talented 46-year-old is more than just a wrestler, though. A New York Times bestselling author, he has nine books to his name, including four memoirs and three children's books.
The father of four has also embarked on a career in comedy in recent years, earning rave reviews for his stand-up acts and we'll be finding out just how funny he is!
We've got plenty more to keep you entertained, including Cardiff and Liverpool fans in the Luther Blissett stand and Wembley Away Days.
Plus, Helen catches up with Doncaster boss Dean Saunders, Paul Gascoigne tells us another story, and Tubes meets Tottenham and England striker Jermain Defoe!
So tune in for Soccer AM, Saturday, 10am, on Sky Sports HD2 and Sky 1 HD.
