This week we're thinking OUTSIDE the box, with goalkeeping God and, apparently, part-time life coach Brad Friedel! Thanks to a book we've never read the likes of before - his incredibly LinkedIn coded, 2009 autobiography 'Thinking Outside The Box'.

Featuring endless motivational quotes, Brad's uneasy rivalry with David James, why no one should trust Craig Bellamy, and how Brad has basically rewritten Crime and Punishment. Plus, which ex-Villa keeper uses the most insufferable business cliches, Friedel or Guzan?

Listen now and thank us when you're a CEO.

Listener Nina has sent us in a book that, even after 96 episodes, we've never seen the likes of before. 'Over The Moon' - a collection of 90s football poems written by some of the greatest players of their generation, including Gazza, Gordon Banks, John Fashanu. Plus Pam Ayers.

Featuring John Motson's terrible limericks, Jimmy Hill's take on 'Jerusalem', Gazza's genuinely heartbreaking verse, an outbreak of chickenpox, and a gorgeous PE teacher named Mrs Jones. Plus Ken Zong and new challenger Lucas Winter face off in a battle of the football chants, as we bring you the inaugural Eurovision Zong Contest.
