Welcome to the second installment of The Week on Off The Ball, a weekly listen back at some of our favourite pieces from right across the week that was.

Eoin Sheahan and David Wilson were on hand this time out and had plenty to dig into!

Firstly, former Chairman of the FIFA Governance Committee, Miguel Maduro, joined us in studio this week. He gave his opinion on UEFA’s response to FIFA’s latest struggles.

Denise O'Sullivan appeared on The COYGIG Pod, where she opened up about the struggles that motivated her to leave Liverpool and return to the States after just 6 months.
