On Soccer AM...

Shaun Goater, Shaun Williamson and Donal MacIntyre are all on this week's show!

The climax of the football season is quite simply unmissable, and what better way to prepare for another weekend of twist and turns than with another jam-packed Soccer AM! Kicking things off in the studio this week will be not one, but two Shauns... Williamson and Goater! The boys will be making a return to the orange sofas for the first time since their last appearance together in 2006. Bermudan-born star Goater arrived in England with the aim of leading Manchester United's frontline one day, but it was with neighbours Manchester City where he really made his name. After failing to break into the United first team, and following spells with Rotherham United and Bristol City, the striker joined the blue half of Manchester where he would go on to reach legendary status amongst the City faithful. The club's top-scorer in four consecutive seasons between 1998 and 2002, Goater found the back of the net 101 times for City in just 184 appearances, leading to the chant of 'Feed the Goat and He Will Score' from the Maine Road faithful. Capped 36 times by Bermuda, Goater scored an incredible 32 goals for his country before officially hanging up his boots in 2006 and returning home to the Island where his work with young children as well as his services to sport were recognised in 2003 when he was awarded an MBE. As ever Helen and Max will be asking all the questions and they'll be getting his views on where the Premier League trophy will be going ahead of Monday Night Football's unmissable top of the table clash between Manchester United and City!

EastEnder

His namesake, meanwhile, is best known for playing Barry in EastEnders! An accomplished stand-up comedian, Williamson has worked both on stage and screen, while his fantastic delivery helped him earn a part in Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's sitcom Extras. The 46-year-old linked up with the comedy writing duo again last year, with a recurring role in their latest series, 'Life's Too Short', making hilarious cameo appearance throughout the series. Always fantastic value, Williamson will be collecting his hat-trick ball this week, and telling us all about his upcoming projects.

Finally

Completing this week's line-up will be investigative journalist, Donal MacIntyre. Famed for his undercover operations and television exposes, MacInyre has consistently won praise for the courage he has shown in his work, often putting the story ahead of his own safety. His latest project has seen him gain unprecedented access to Manchester Gang leader Domenyk Noonan in the hard-hitting new series on Crime & Investigation Network - At Home with the Noonans. MacIntyre - who has previously gone undercover with a gang of football hooligans - spent 10 years putting the series together and he will be telling us what to expect. And of course we'll be talking football with the 46-year-old who possesses a Chelsea tattoo, despite not being a Blues fan! That wraps up another stellar line-up of guests, but as ever there lots more to look forward to, including Sheffield Wednesday fans in the Luther Blissett stand and Team Mates with West Ham duo Henri Lansbury and Nicky Maynard! Plus, Frankie Fryer heads to Derby for Away Days, Jump Out Man Chris 'Takes One For the Team' and Tubes meets the cast of Hollywood's latest blockbuster, Avengers! So tune in for Soccer AM, 10am, Sky Sports 2 HD and Sky1 HD.
