EPL Talk 14 March @ 08:30 AM EDT
In the past few weeks, the EPL Talk Podcast has undergone some major changes. Kartik Krishnaiyer
was replaced by Richard Farley. We've since increased the quality and quantity of episodes. And
we've published interviews with some of the biggest names in soccer including Dwight Yorke, Andrew
Cole, Martin Tyler, Barney Ronay, Jonathan Wilson, Claudio Reyna, Paul Dempsey, Guy Mowbray, Tim
Vickery, David Goldblatt, Shaka Hislop, Tommy Smyth, Andy Brassell, Gary O'Reilly, Oliver Kay,

Dwight Yorke is best known for his days playing for Manchester United and Aston Villa. On this

late 1990s, made his First Division debut in 1990 and would go on to play for Villa, United,
Blackburn Rovers, Birmingham City and Sunderland, with a brief sojourn in Australia before his

of the Premier League era, coming to prominence in 1993-94 when he scored 34 league goals for
Newcastle United. He later joined Manchester United where he collected three consecutive 20-goal
seasons from 1997-98 through 1999-2000, playing an integral part in United's treble winning season

If you've ever had a question you've always wanted to ask Andrew Cole, Dwight Yorke or Shaka
Hislop, here's your opportunity.
Later this week, I'll be sitting down separately with each of the three football legends for
one-on-one interviews to discuss their careers, their work in broadcasting and some of the
highlights of their life such as, for Yorke and Cole, winning the treble in 1999 (including the
Champions League) with Manchester United, and, for Hislop, playing in the 2006 World Cup.

Dave Kitson would be up there with Michael Gilkes and Shaka Hislop as one of my all time favourite
players. I first took note of the Ginger Ninja in a 2-2 draw between Cambridge United and Reading
at the Abbey Stadium back in 2002. The former shelf stacker was everywhere that day and it was with
huge excitement that I greeted his arrival at Madejski Stadium a year later.

ESPN's fledgling new sports channel is beginning to pull things together rather nicely since it
won the rights that Setanta lost last month. Capturing those 46 games is certainly a coup for them
but the work really begins when they add the front row staff to present the output and act as a
front for the channel itself.

Shaka Hislop, Adrian Healy and Middlesbrough legend (if such a thing really exists) Robbie Mustoe
on the current Shaq and Kobe-esque issues between Goldenballs and Lando. To be honest (and a jerk)
I can't say I didn't see it coming. Shaka seems to think alot of it is down to cultural differences
between U.

This Wednesday's Champions League Final will be a mix of emotions both on and off the pitch.
Reason being is that it'll be ESPN's last coverage of the Champions League before they hand the
"keys" over to Fox Soccer Channel and Setanta Sports for next season. After broadcasting the
Champions League for 15 years, I for one will definitely miss ESPN's coverage.
