Desert Island Goals

This week, we're joined by Kyle Reynoso. With his Mexican and Argentinian heritage, it's no surprise that Kyle is a huge soccer fan. We talk all about Kyle's childhood in San Antonio, Texas, and summer holidays to Argentina which fostered his love for the beautiful game. Kyle tells us about his family teams, and why FC Barcelona took his heart from a young age. That said, Kyle is firmly on the record as putting international football above all else, so stick around for the World Cup Final goals - there's two of them on this list, plus another iconic goal from 2014's group stage. As you might expect, we get stuck into the recent Qatar 2022 World Cup, and what it was like to support Argentina on their way to victory. And, of course, we've got a good 15 minutes ALL about the greatest player to ever play this game... Lionel Messi. We hope you enjoy! As always, please leave us a 5 star review, and share us with your family and friends! Cheers.

This week, we're joined by Austin's finest, Luc Scranton. Luc takes us through his childhood growing up with a soccer coach for a Dad, plus how soccer culture in Austin differs from other cities in Texas. We hear about Luc's familial passion for Manchester United, and why Paul Scholes was his childhood idol - despite missing out on a place on his #DesertIslandGoals list! Luc's goals include a dramatic VAR-influenced penalty, a hilarious World Cup semi-final, and one of the most incredible free kicks we've ever seen... which ultimately ended in heartbreak. Plus, two of the greatest volleys in Premier League history. It's a list packed with drama, stories, and high-quality goals!

We're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! A very belated Happy New Year to everyone out there. 2023 is off to a flyer, and we're back with a great conversation with our newest guest: Liam Horsley! Liam is a die-hard Leeds United fan, but has a huge family connection to another football club that I had no idea about when we started recording. You'll hear the exact moment my mind boggles when I realise just how interlinked Liam's family and Forest Green Rovers are (congrats on the new job by the way, Big Dunc). Liam's goals span four different competitions, and include a PlayOff Final winner, a goal that all-but seals promotion, and two different daggers to the heart of one of Leeds' biggest rivals. We've got Bielsa stories, we've got boardroom drama, and we've got 5 really good Desert Island Goals. Hope you enjoy! As always, please leave us a 5 star review, and share us with your friends!

Happy World Cup Final Weekend everybody. This week we're joined by Ryan Figert, who has gone from growing up playing soccer in Dallas, Texas, to running social media accounts for FC Dallas in MLS. Ryan's Desert Island Goals feature historic moments for both the USMNT and the USWNT, and we get a little chat about "Reyna-Gate," and how the US can build from their impressive performance in Qatar. Ryan's a huge Arsenal fan, and we hypothesise as to why the GUNners might be so popular with residents of the Lone Star State. Our Arsenal discussion includes an all-time last minute winner at the Emirates - that unfortunately didn't lead to the realisation of Ryan's dreams coming true - but Ryan thinks better times are coming (soon) for Arsenal. We even have a sprinkling of NCAA Soccer from Ryan's career as a College Soccer Broadcaster. We hope you enjoy! As always, please follow us on our various social media accounts, and help us spread the word about the podcast by sharing with your friends!

This week, we welcome our first Chelsea fan onto the show, as we're joined by Chris Gress. A couple of Chris' goals tell the story of one of the most unlikely Champions League victories ever, as the Boys from the Bridge stole the trophy away from Bayern Munich in their own back yard. That journey includes a majestic moment that silenced one of Europe's loudest crowds, and we also get a goal from a Chelsea Talisman that silences a Top 6 Rival in England. We also get the first appearance on this podcast from a Premier League legend, who was a one-club man, and had a penchant for the outrageous. It's a great list of goals, packed with quality. What's more, Chris and I look ahead to this weekend's massive England vs France game, and Chris gives us his predictions for the rest of the tournament. Is it coming Home!?!

Hope you're all enjoying the World Cup! To celebrate, the US's progress to the knockout stage, this week we're having a US Super Fan on the show! We're joined by Rob Matsuura, who proudly regales us with his favourite memories of supporting the US men's and women's national teams. Rob tells us all about his childhood playing soccer, and what led him to develop a love for Manchester United, plus why Manchester City have been so effective at breaking into the American market of fans. Three of Rob's goals also have a common thread of a particularly talented Englishman, whose ferocious nature, coupled with impudent skill, made him the darling of Old Trafford. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, so you can listen to Rob's pre-Tournament thoughts about the US' chances of getting out of the group, and what it might take for Football to come Home to England.

This week's guest is Patrick Moylan-Jones, who loves nothing more than "the Villa." No, he's not Love Island's biggest fan, but instead a die-hard Aston Villa supporter, who lets us know just why he hates "Blues," and fills us in about the biggest club in the UK's 2nd City. Patrick's goals span nearly 40 years, stemming from European Cup triumph, and ending up in a passionate Derby victory. Come for the Jack Grealish love-fest, but stay for the hilarious story of how boyhood Aston Villa fan Lee Hendrie managed to get himself excommunicated from the club after a night out drinking. This is a great, and funny, trip through the annals of Aston Villa history. We hope you enjoy!

Guy's #DesertIslandGoals take us through the Pochettino & Mourinho eras in North London, as we examine the high points of two very different managers.

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.

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.

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).

VUUUUUUJ. Our guest this episode is David Vujanic, better known as "Vuj." You may know him from Copa 90, you may know him from YouTube with his mate Poet, or even from being the man behind the "school kid awkward smiling" meme. The internet's favourite Serbian, Vuj takes us through where his love for Liverpool came from, and what it's like cheering for Red Star Belgrade (and pretty much every other Serbian team that plays in European Competition), and why "the narrative" is more important than his own teams winning. A huge thanks to Vuj for taking the time to do this. Please like, share, and subscribe and if you're interested in being a guest on future episode, get in touch!

Here we go! Our first guest is Fulham & Houston Dynamo fan Davis, as he takes us through the 5 goals he would re-watch for the rest of time. Hear about how a boy from Lake Jackson, Texas, falls in love with the Lilywhites from West London, and why the US Women's National Team means more to him than any of his other squads. This is our first one, so please forgive us for the audio being a bit spotty in places... The mic arrived in time for Episode 2!!
