Today's guest is journalist, author and broadcaster Jim White choosing the matches he'd take with him to a desert island. From memorable Manchester United matches he's covered over the years to England's near miss at Euro 2020, Jim's infectious passion for all things football is evident throughout.

In between picks, we deep dive into his brilliant book A History of the Premier League in Ten Matches as he pinpoints the pivotal games that made the English top flight the UK's most lucrative export.

There's also some incredible advice for grassroots coaches of junior football, as Jim shares the piece of wisdom he carried with him from one of football's biggest names during his own decade or so on the touchline coaching his son's junior team.
