We have Dundalk and Derry recaps (the latter is much longer), and Aaron Greene vs Neil Farrugia in the quiz, before the second week of 'Tales From Deutschland'. There's another edition of the Members Corner with Sam, who for the past seven years has lived in Hamburg, our featured team. Con Murphy tells the story of Hamburg and West German legend Uwe Seeler coming out of retirement to score two goals for Cork Celtic against Shamrock Rovers in 1978. Seeler spent nearly all of his life in a town called Norderstedt, the birthplace of Leon Pohls, who tells us about growing up there and supporting HSV and Germany in the World Cup.

We talk the Pat's game, and Harry's quiz is back with Pico Lopes vs Sean Kavanagh before our German football series gets underway. Eoghan Rice has a piece on Rovers' win over Schalke in the 1969 Cup Winners' Cup, and there's the Members Corner with Mick Brazil, a Cork-based supporter who started following Rovers in the same year and was at that European first leg at a foggy Dalymount Park, and couldn't see a thing. Plus, looking ahead to Oriel Park tomorrow, Winston meets the founder of Ireland’s only Schalke supporters club, Kevin Orzesek, who lives in Dundalk.

We have the derby and Waterford recaps and a double author feature with a 1924 theme. In their books, David Needham (Ireland's First Real World Cup) and Athlone historian Tadhg Carey (When We Were Kings) tell the largely unknown story of Ireland's original Olympians, who travelled to Paris a hundred years ago this month.

We talk a brilliant win in Derry with Greener on the double again and Monday's scoreless draw at sandy Shels. The TFTES Hotline for April has topics ranging from late winners to true crime, from favourite biscuits to favourite captains, with one former Hoops skipper, John Toal among a dozen callers.

We talk Graham Burke's return to goalscoring ways on his 200th appearance for the club, and look ahead to the trip to the Ryan McBride Brandywell with the help of Derry author Kevin Harkin, who wrote "A Game of Two Halves". Harry is back for a new season of the quiz with goalkeepers Leon Pohls and Lee Steacy, plus there's an interview with former Clondalkin Direct Provision Centre Committee Chairman Brian Muchena.
