What a treat we have for you this week. We're joined by massive Hibernian, Scotland, and Manchester United fan Liam Drysdale. Liam's #DesertIslandGoals are jam-packed with stories, drama, and emotion, as we get everything from a Champions League winning goal, to a last minute winner that turns out to not be a winner at all! Liam teaches us all about the Scottish Premier League, the Edinburgh rivalry between Hibs and Hearts, and lists at least 6 reasons why EVERYONE else in Scotland hates Rangers and Celtic. Liam's 5th and final goal is an all-time story of persistent heartbreak, the unfair hope that football continues to give us as fans, and what it feels like when you finally break a 100-year old curse on your team. It's electric. This one's a little longer than usual, but once you've heard the stories, and what they mean to Liam, you'll fully understand why. It's an emotional ride, but one I'm utterly convinced you'll enjoy.

This week our guest is Paco Schäfer who, as his name suggests, is half-Spanish, and half-German. Thanks to the dual nationality, Paco loves both Real Madrid, and Eintracht Frankfurt, meaning that this season's UEFA Super Cup was the single greatest match of his life. Paco's #DesertIslandGoals are all Cup Winners, as we feature goals from the Champions League, Euro's, and DFB Pokal; The stakes are always high, and the celebrations always loud! Paco let's us know why the Spanish national team means more to him than the German, and the biggest regret he has as a football fan. We're usually English Football focused, so enjoy this European "vacation" for a week! As always, please follow us @DIGoalsPod on Twitter, and leave us a 5star review wherever you get your Podcasts!

This week's guest is Matt Lane, a die-hard Burnley fan. We talk everything from Turf Moor to Wembley, via "the Orient Game," as we learn all about Matt's club, their ups, their downs, and why one set of rivals will always be known as "Bastards." Matt's Desert Island Goals give us derby glory, a Wembley win, and the not-so-Spanish home-town hero who's better than James (Hamez). As always, please leave us a 5 star review, and follow all of us on Twitter. Callum (@CallumJDSquires), Matt (@ffmattlane), and the Podcast itself (@DIGoalsPod) will all appreciate it! Cheers!

Joining us this week is Thomas “Willo” Willoughby, who is from Oxford so obviously supports Manchester United. Willo’s journey through his Desert Island Goals is both humorous and emotional, as we share laughs about the despair of rival fans, and share tears over England’s numerous tournament failures, and a very special dedication of one goal to a beloved family member. Willo’s goals take us through the Ferguson, Van Gaal & Solskjaer eras at Old Trafford, and Also, hear why and how Willo fell in love with a certain Canadian-born, German-educated Englishman who was good at free kicks. It’s a good one!

G'day mate! Joining us this week is our first guest from "Down Under," as Chris Hockman talks us through his Desert Island Goals. Chris' goals span three continents, almost traversing the entire globe from East to West, and come from the A-League, the Premier League, and our first ever goal from the Olympic Games. Hear the story behind Australia's crazy 2006 World Cup campaign, from 3 yellow cards going to one opposition player, why Australians have fabricated a rivalry against Italy, and what it's like watching a World Cup at 3am every night. Chris' goals are an eclectic mix of unexpected moments, high drama, and important winners, including a Golden Goal from the US College system. We hope you enjoy!

Episode 12! This week’s guest is Alex Addington. Alex’s love for “The Arsenal” is examined as we go through his #DesertIslandGoals. We’ve got Arsenal legends all over the place, from Nigeria, France, and (technically) Senegal. This is prime Wenger era Gooners, with goals that win titles, stun Galacticos & have Andy Gray applauding live on commentary. Hear why Alex feels the move to the Emirates Stadium hasn’t been as successful as originally suggested, and discover which young Arsenal star Alex says would have been as good as Cristiano Ronaldo if not for injuries. Plus, an honourable mention that should make you laugh based on the goal scorer alone.
Check it out, share with loved ones (& arsenal fans), and give us a 5 star review wherever you get your podcasts! Follow us @DIGoalsPod on Twitter and @Desert.Island.Goals on Instagram.

This week, we're joined by Danny Driscoll. Danny is a Bradford-born Manchester United fan, who grew up outnumbered in the midst of the fierce local rivalry between the Red Devils and Leeds United. Danny's Desert Island Goals unsurprisingly feature a few great players in Manchester United's illustrious history, but also gives us one moment of despair, as the Theatre of Dreams was silenced by a virtuoso visiting performance. We discuss which is United's greatest team of the Premier League era, and why a certain trio of English midfielders never combined to win anything with the National Team during the "Golden Generation" period. Warning: Danny is from "Up North," so his accent may confuse some listeners. Good luck deciphering it! I barely understood a word he said... (kidding).

This week we’re joined by Dr. Jacob Tingle, who in the space of 4 years went from “soccer novice” to internationally famous QPR Twitter fan. Jacob takes us through his childhood growing up in the “soccer desert” of 1980s Texas, to falling in love with the R’s at Loftus Road, all the way to being a season ticket holder at San Antonio FC. Jacob’s Desert Island Goals include our first ever NCAA Soccer goal, and also treat us to two momentous moments at the east end of Wembley stadium. Plus, stay to hear a VERY important honourable mention for “the most pivotal moment in US Soccer history.” As ever, please take a minute to leave us a 5 star review, and follow us @DIGoalsPod on Twitter, and @Desert.Island.Goals on Instagram, and follow Jacob @TingleJK on Twitter!

This week's guest is the wonderful Holly Bloomfield, an arsenal fan born and raised in the shadow of the old Highbury Stadium. Holly takes us through her life growing up in North London, Tea Parties before Arsenal games, and what life was like waiting to watch Saturday's goals on Match of the Day. Our journey through Holly's goals takes us to Bolton, to Sheffield, and includes the homecoming for Arsenal's greatest player of all time. We'll hear about what it was like being a part of the Women's Euros fever this past summer, and why people who enjoy running for exercise cannot be trusted. It's a great time all round (especially if you're a Gooner). As always, please give us a 5 star rating wherever you get your podcasts, and spread the word about the podcast to anyone who might enjoy us!
