The Pelé Podcast

SCOTT McLAUGHLIN begins part two of his Pelé Podcast by discussing his two years at Airdrie United, from the highs of winning the Challenge Cup in 2008 to their relegation in 2010. He then reflects on his move to Ayr United and their tremendous play-off win at Glebe Park and promotion to the First Division. Scott remembers his unsuccessful spells with Queen of the South and Peterhead before finishing with his return to Somerset Park in 2013.

THIS week's Pelé Podcast is a little unusual, because this is the first time we've ever had a guest return to the show for a second interview! Scott McLaughlin, a bona-fide lower-league superstar, first appeared on the podcast in 2015 but, by his own admission, he was a little cautious and wasn't as entertaining as he could have been, so he asked to return to settle some scores and rattle some cages - and he does not disappoint. In the first of three parts, Scott begins by talking about his clumsy departure from Albion Rovers before looking back at his YTS days with Hamilton Academical and his move to the SPL with Livingston. He then reflects on a wild three seasons with Greenock Morton.

RORY LOY returns for this eagerly anticipated second part of his Pelé Podcast. The striker begins by analysing his blockbuster two seasons with Falkirk and how his team cam so close to winning the Championship title and then the Scottish Cup. Rory goes on to examine a difficult 18 months with Dundee, from a sensational 4-0 win over Kilmarnock at the start of the season to finding himself falling out of favour. He chats about his successful loan spell with St Mirren and how he played his part in the club's stunning Championship survival. Rory closes this epic podcast with his disappointing return to the Bairns.

He reflects on his move to boyhood heroes Rangers and his relationship with some of the biggest names in Scottish football.

MARK DOCHERTY returns to the Pelé Podcast to look back on the latter part of his career. Sparky begins part two by discussing his time and Stranraer and his role in a team that punched well above their weight. He then talks about his "unfinished business" with Alloa Athletic before reflecting on his two years at Dumbarton, including his altercation with team-mate Stuart Carswell. Mark finishes be analysing last season with East Fife, including his first-ever long-term injury. This is great fun - again!

"AIN'T nobody like Neil Parry!" The second part of the big goalie's Pelé Podcast starts just as he swaps Albion Rovers for Airdrieonians, his boyhood club.

In this installment, he starts by discussing the Wasps' pre-season plans before reflecting on his early steps in junior football, his two years at Queen's Park, the "nearly men" of the Third Division, and his up-and-down two seasons with Albion Rovers.

AFTER the thrills and spills of part one, Paddy Boyle returns to look back over the last five years of his career. He talks about his two seasons at Airdrieonians - two campaigns that started horrendously but finished well - and his three years with Ayr United. Paddy chats fondly about his time with the Honest Men, from promotion to relegation to winning the League 1 title, and everything in between. He's some boy.
