Hosted by Damian Mullan and Johnny McNabb, the show brings you an audio recording from Saturday's Q&A with members of the club's 1973-74 title winning team.

122. One of the best to ever do it - Felix Healy
This week's guest on the Official Coleraine Podcast is the last Irish League player to get on the pitch at the World Cup.
Yes, that could only be one man - Felix Healy.
The former Port Vale, Derry City and Coleraine midfielder discusses his career in full with hosts Damian Mullan and Johnny McNabb, playing in the 1982 World Cup for Northern Ireland and how the game has evolved since he retired.
The L/Derry man also speaks about being Coleraine manager and how he regrets leaving behind the club to take the reins at Derry City, where he had a successful stint as first-team boss at the Brandywell.
Healy also explains his love of music, how he enjoys coming back to The Showgrounds and his admiration for the work done by Bannsiders chief Oran Kearney - plus so much more.

121. Goals both on and off the pitch - Matthew Shevlin and Gareth Scott
Goals both on and off the pitch is the theme of this week's Official Coleraine Podcast as we welcomed Matthew Shevlin on the show.
The striker talks to hosts Damian Mullan and Johnny McNabb about his career to date, making the breakthrough at Ballymena United and signing for David Healy at Linfield.
The 25-year-old also speaks about the current season and frustrations felt at certain part of the campaign due to injuries and suspension, but he is hoping to end it on a high by qualifying for Europe.
The trio also analyse the Bannsiders' 3-3 draw against Cliftonville and share their views on the visit of Glentoran.
Mr McNabb also has a one-on-one conversation with Gareth Scott, who is currently the club's Head of Women’s and Girls’ Development Officer, about how preparations are going ahead of the new Women's season getting under way.

This week's Official Coleraine Podcast concentrates on the Bannsiders' post-split schedule and build-up to the end-of-season European play-offs.
Coleraine's position in the top-six was confirmed after Carrick Rangers' defeat to Linfield, with hosts Damian Mullan and Johnny McNabb giving their views as to how the Stripes will approach those fixtures.
There is also a conversation about the race for European football and the relegation battle, as well as the title race in the Championship.

119. A solid case for the defence - Kyle McVey
After making 215 appearances and scoring 19 goals for the Bannsiders, it was only fair that we had former defender Kyle McVey on this week's show.
The Coleraine man speaks about his breakthrough into the first-team set-up at The Showgrounds, working under three different managers during his time at the club and why he felt it was the right time to move to Linfield.
'Kyler' discusses his time at the Blues working under David Jeffrey and how he secured the move to Ballymena United thereafter who were then managed by Glenn Ferguson.
The 37-year-old also delves into his time at Portadown, how he is currently playing for Bushmills United and the importance of family life.

There is only one matchday remaining as the Bannsiders aim to clinch their place in the top six this weekend.
With that in mind, Messrs Mullan and McNabb discuss the upcoming game against Dungannon Swifts, our draw at Crusaders and the rest of proceedings throughout the Premiership.
There is also a conversation regarding Simon Magee's appointment as the club's new CEO and Josh Carson's return to the side.
