If you could only rewatch or re-live 5 goals for the rest of your life, which goals would YOU choose? Callum Squires (@callumjdsquires) locks you in a small room with nothing but a 56’ TV and 5 goals to watch for the rest of your life. Basically a Desert Island, huh!? This is a love letter to football fans; letting them tell their stories, about their teams, their favourite goals, and what matters most to your regular football fan.
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.

Ep. 24 - Luc Scranton
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!
As always, please take the time to follow us on social media (@DIGoalsPod on Twitter, and @Desert.Island.Goals on Instagram), and thank you for taking the time to check us out!

Ep. 23 - Liam Horsley
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! Follow us @DIGoalsPod, @CallumJDSquires, & @_LiamHorsley on Twitter!
