We're back and this time around we're chatting to Paul Coyte, half-time presenter at Tottenham Hotspur.
Along with Rich Hurst of West Brom and Alan Keegan of Man Utd, we talk about the famous players he's met, odd situations he's found himself in and the difference between White Hart Lane and the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
Paul did the presentation on the last day of White Hart Lane and has some emotional memories.
Paul brought some great stuff to the table, including the times when, as announcer, you've never got enough hands and chimed in on the controversial subject of goal music.
You can see the player we tackled in the What's My Name feature on our twitter @announcerspod, it's a beauty.
