The Pelé Podcast

MICHAEL DUNLOP is probably one of the most successful players currently starring in the lower leagues; with two league titles and two promotions to his name, his is a bona-fide legend. Joining Craig G Telfer on the Pelé Podcast, Mick looks back over his career, starting with his his first steps in the game at boys' club football and his formative years at Ayr United. Mick then talks about one of the best spells of his career: his successful three years at Queen's Park.

THE second part of Scott Agnew's Pelé Podcast begins with the midfielder looking back over the most successful period of his career: his three years in the Championship with Dumbarton. Scott recalls working under Ian Murray, their incredible turnaround in the 2012/13 season and how the almost finished in the play-offs the following year. He then goes on to talk about a rollercoaster 12 months at St Mirren and his two seasons with Stranraer. Great stuff all in!

FIRST we had your curiosity; now we have your attention. If the first part of our Pelé Podcast with Gerry McLauchlan was a solid listen, then the second is brilliant fun. We pick up with the big man just as he joined Brechin City in 2010, and he talks about his five years at Glebe Park, touching on playing the "new" Rangers, his relationship with the fans, and his three play-off disappointments. Gerry then discusses his season at Ayr United and Cowdenbeath's disastrous campaign of 2016/17 before reflecting on his retirement in the summer of 2017 and subsequent comeback with Queen's Park. Gerry is some boy.

GERRY McLAUCHLAN is arguable one of the most well-known figures in the Scottish lower-leagues and the big stopper has enjoyed a decent career at various outposts around the country. In the first of a two-part interview, Gerry talks about his first steps in the game on YTS forms at Hamilton Academical then his spells at Stranraer and Queen of the South, as well as his short-term loans at Montrose and Arbroath.

THE final part of Sean Higgins' appearance on the Pelé Podcast sees the player discuss his career after moving into part-time football.

IN part two of Sean Higgins' Pelé Podcast, the striker looks back over his last four years as a full-time professional. Starting with a wild two years at Dundee - touching on Calum Melville, Leigh Griffiths, Jocky Scott, a Challenge Cup win, the faltering final few weeks of the 2008/09 campaign - he talks in depth about the "Deefiant" team and their wonderful 23-game unbeaten run in the face of adversity. Sean ten talks about a disappointing and injury-ravaged season with St Johnstone in the SPL and his move to Falkirk.

THE second part of our Pelé Podcast with Danny Denholm begins with the player returning to part-time football with his old club Forfar Athletic.
