NON-LEAGUE GOALMOUTH: Our moments & standout stars of the season + Non-League eyes World Cup stage

On this week’s edition of the Non-League Goalmouth... Editor at Large Matt Badcock and Executive Editor Jon Couch reflect on their favourite moments from the 2025/26 Non-League campaign. The duo discuss topics such as the thrilling National League title race between York and Rochdale, and Macclesfield’s dream FA Cup run, as well as their stars of the season, including managers like Jim McNulty, Stuart Maynard, Luke Garrard and Craig Mahon, and players like Abdul Abdulmalik, Ollie Pearce, Zak Brunt and Gus Scott-Morris. The managerial merry-go-round is in full flow. Former Gateshead manager Rob Elliot has taken up a new role in charge of Carlisle United, replacing Mark Hughes. Meanwhile, Paul Wotton has landed the Kidderminster Harriers job and Southend United’s search for a new boss continues following the departure of Kevin Maher. Finally, the pair look ahead to this summer’s World Cup in North America, focusing on players and coaches with Non-League roots and their journeys from the grassroots game to football’s biggest stage.
