Over Christmas, I referred to the Three Wise Men. They were, in no order other than chronological, John Devlin, Martin Le Roy and Denis Hurley. If you click their names, you'll find that each had their own podcast, or Christmas Lecture, if you will.

Well, there are more wise men. I aim to chat to plenty more, in fact, and wise people in general - gender is certainly no obstacle for anyone who aspires (?) to appear on The DesignFootball.com Podcast.

Much, much later than we originally planned to publish, owing to technical issues on this very website, this is the special Christmas edition of The DesignFootball.com Podcast. The final installment of our trinity of deliveries - or final wise man, to use another religious reference - features the expertise - on kit clashes, Herbert Chapman, and more - of one Denis Hurley.

A little later than first advertised - you may have noticed we've been having a few technical issues on the site - we bring you the second of our Christmas "wise men". This one's Martin Le Roy. Or "frankincense" (we checked with Mary Hatch-Bailey for the spelling).

A DF member (MartinLeRoy), Martin has experienced that transition from amateur (fantasy) to part-time IRL kit designer. The podcast will elaborate, but suffice to say He Got His Kits Made.

This Christmas, the three wise men are coming early.

For quite a while, the idea of having a DesignFootball.com podcast has been thrown around, with other commitments stopping the project getting underway, and with the fantastic, and now sadly discontinued, Football Attic picking up the slack with some wonderful kit-centric offerings of their own. Finally, with TFA returning to us that void, we're making it happen.

And by that we mean, very last minute gift guide. Yeah, you're gonna need to go out to the shops yourself - urgh! How uncouth! - or pay top dollar for the superfast delivery service (they charge a lot, right?), and in some cases this'll be entirely impossible, unless you do presents at New Year or Epiphany or some such.

Anyway, here are some ideas of what you can get your loved ones, or maybe still instruct your loved ones to buy you - don't delay!
