Off The Shelf | Heurelho Gomes - now available on SPURSPLAY and all platforms

The latest episode of our all-new official podcast Off The Shelf with Heurelho Gomes is now available on all platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google and SPURSPLAY, our home of exclusive live and on-demand video.

As always, the episode launched first and exclusively on SPURSPLAY, our home of exclusive live and on-demand video. Now it's available on all platforms including, Apple, Amazon Music, Spotify and Google.

Next up, Gomes, who tells us his story from humble beginnings growing up on a farm in Brazil to moving to Europe with PSV and then Spurs, where he helped us qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 2010. The boy from João Pinheiro would also eventually play alongside Brazilian greats - the likes of Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Kaka, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo - winning 11 caps between 2003-2010.

The podcast reunites Gomes with his centre-back and regular captain during his time at Spurs, Off The Shelf host, modern day great and fans' favourite Michael Dawson. The pair played together 25 times as we finished fourth in 2009/10, including that famous night at the Etihad where we beat City 1-0 to clinch that Champions League place. Daws is joined by co-host, Senior Club Journalist Paul Miles, who was there for every game the pair played together.

Now 42, Heurelho joined us from PSV in 2008 and went on to make 135 appearances for us in all competitions. He played 21 times for us in Europe, including 10 of the 11 matches on our way to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Gomes saved two of his best performances for the Round of 16 victory against AC Milan - where he made sure we didn't concede a goal over two legs. However, he's probably best remembered for three stunning saves in the second half of one of the most important matches of the 2009/10 season as we fought for fourth place - keeping out Robin van Persie twice and Sol Campbell.

All episodes of Off The Shelf will appear first and exclusively on SPURSPLAY. After that, they will be available on all your usual podcast platforms including Apple, Amazon Music, Spotify and Google.

Introducing... Off The Shelf

We are delighted to launch our all-new, official podcast, Off The Shelf.

Off The Shelf will bring you even closer to our great Club, telling often untold stories from the current playing squad to the legends who went before them, the staff who keep everything ticking over behind the scenes and, of course, our fans, the heartbeat of Spurs.

In our first series of six podcasts, we'll speak to legendary former skippers and Club Ambassadors Ledley King and Jenna Schillaci; our esteemed captain and World Cup winner Hugo Lloris; another goalkeeping legend, Heurelho Gomes; Academy graduate Oliver Skipp and from Spurs Women, defender Molly Bartrip, who has a compelling story to tell.

Each podcast is dedicated to its subject, shining a light on their careers, and the stories that define them. How did Ledley feel when he was told he’d have to retire? What has it meant for Hugo to captain our Club for almost 10 years?How did Jenna react when she was told she couldn’t play football as a young girl? How did Skippy climb through the ranks from Academy to first team? How did Molly overcome serious health issues to reach the top of the women’s game? What was the one thing Gomes wished for when he left home in Brazil to pursue his dream in Europe? You’ll hear those answers and more...

And who better to present our podcast than one of our modern-day greats and fans' favourite, Michael Dawson! 'Daws' joined us in January, 2005 and spent nine years at the Club, making 324 appearances in all competitions for us until departing in the summer of 2014.

Michael finally retired after 20 seasons as a professional for Forest, Spurs and Hull City in August, 2021, and stepped straight into new roles as our Club Ambassador and as a panellist on Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports. A true leader, Daws radiates enthusiasm - his love for the Club shines through.

Joining Daws is our Senior Club Journalist, Paul Miles. 'Milesy' has been at the Club since 2000, interviewing our players and managers for 23 years - including every game of Daws' Spurs career! You may have seen him in the last couple of years as part of our N17 Live matchday team.
