A look ahead to an epic year of action live on Sky Sports

The Ashes, The Lions, the title race and the UEFA Champions League - that's just a sample of the big events that we're looking forward to in Sky Sports Magazine's exclusive 2009 preview issue. Shane Warne tells us why he thinks the England players got it wrong about the Stanford Series and his concerns for Australia ahead of next summer's Ashes tour. British and Irish Lions coach Ian McGeechan talks about what it takes to create a successful tour as he looks forward to the Lions' eagerly-awaited trip to South Africa in 2009. The there's Rio Ferdinand on Manchester United's challenges in the league and Europe in which he confidently predicts an English club will be in this season's Champions League final. And we've got a calendar of live events on Sky Sports for the next 12 months to help you plan your viewing from January through to December. Elsewhere we look back to when John Terry and David Beckham travelled in the same car for trials at Manchester United ahead of Chelsea's trip to Old Trafford, which is exclusively live on Sky Sports. We also look at golf tournament in the desert set to transform the European Tour and how the actor John Candy provided the inspiration for American Football legend Joe Montana. Added to that you could win tickets for Guinness Premiership matches and a signed shirt from Chelsea playmaker Deco. And, of course, we have full listings for every live on Sky Sports in January. Enjoy the mag. It should start dropping through your door by the end of December.
