Episode 76 – My Favourite Year: Giancarlo Rinaldi, Queen of the South 2012/13

Dusting down the My Favourite Year feature like a pair of old trousers that just about still fit, Daniel Gray is joined by BBC journalist Giancarlo Rinaldi who nominates Queen of the South’s 2012/13 season. The pair discuss Scots-Italian life, Giancarlo’s 1990s Italian football fanzine, football and family and the beauty of Palmerston Park before meandering their way through Queens’ sublime championship-winning year. A joyous portion of chitchat.

Inside Oriam: Football Scholarships

In this special episode of the Nutmeg podcast, we go behind the scenes with our sponsor, Oriam – Scotland’s Sports Performance Centre, and hear about their football scholarships, offered in conjunction with Heriot Watt University. As part of that programme, as you’ll hear, students earn their degree while pursuing footballing excellence in a set-up that replicates a modern football club. Those players feed into the squad of Heriot Watt University FC, members of the East of Scotland League. A fascinating look at a very modern approach to the game.

Interview: Tessel Middag pt. 1

Rangers WFC midfielder Tessel Middag began her career with Den Haag, then played for her childhood heroes Ajax, before moving on to Manchester City, West Ham United and Fiorentina, representing the Netherlands national team 44 times along the way. In the first half of this fascinating, entertaining chat with Daniel Gray, Tessel talks us through the street games and pavement bounces of her youth, playing in boys’ teams until the age of 18 and her pride in representing the very first Ajax women’s team. Plus, anger and amusement in the archives as Tessel talks about the historical suppression of women’s football, Likely Lads score avoidance and the joys of ‘next goal wins’.
