It remains the most unforgettable day in the history of the world’s most watched football league, the English Premier League.

Sergio Aguero’s goal, 93 minutes and 20 seconds in to the last game of the season against Queens Park Rangers, who themselves survived relegation by the thinnest possible margin.

The result handed City the title, and snatched it away from perennial winners, and neighbours, Manchester United.

Presented and produced by Adam Peacock, Code Sports bring you The Aguero Goal; Drama and Delirium.

The events leading up to, and including, the day are told from four different points of view.

Joelen Lescott, Manchester City defender, part of the army of high-prized recruits bought by City to end their title drought.

Nedum Onuoha, QPR defender, who was brutally axed after 15 years at City by manager Roberto Mancini and sold to QPR, only to have to return on the final day to help his new club avoid relegation, and stop City winning the title.

Sam Matterface, commentator, who was calling the game for UK radio, and like the rest of those inside the stadium, lost his mind!

Sarah Loftus, Manchester City fan, who was 14 at the time and going through a dark period in her life. She credits football for helping save her.

In this special interview Adam Peacock chats to former Socceroo Andy Bernal about his amazing story.

Bernal’s book “Riding Shotgun” is out now and it chronicles Andy’s rise from a son of Spanish immigrants in Canberra to the world stage - on and off the pitch.

He was the first Australian to be signed by a Spanish top flight club and from there he played in England either side of some wild times in the NSL. Then he retired and, well, that’s where the story really takes off.

Bernal was David Beckham’s right-hand man when he signed for Real Madrid at the height of the Galacticos era, before Beckham changed management, sending Bernal into a drug-induced spiral that he was fortunate to escape from.

Now happy, and ready to tell his story, Bernal’s life is one hell of a ride.

And a disclaimer, this chat does include drug references, and the odd swear word.

Are Liverpool back in shape to challenge Manchester City, and Manchester United (off a 9-0! win)? All that, plus learnings of the Slater bug, and plenty more.

Frank Arok passed away this week, aged 88.

His contribution to Australian football remains immeasurable. His boundless enthusiasm and love of the game drew many in, players included.

In this special edition of the Fox Football Podcast, Adam Peacock speaks to three of Arok's former players.

Robbie Slater, who was plucked out of park football by Arok as a teenager to play for then NSL powerhouse St George.

John Kosmina, Arok's during his six years as Socceroos manager.

And Archie Thompson, the energetic teenager who Arok saw unlimited potential in when he was at Gippsland Falcons at the tail end of a magnificent career.

Farewell, Frank Arok; Australian football icon.
