    EP. 397 | That Jürgen Klopp Episode: Life after Liverpool, RETURNING To Management & Salah's farewell!

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete sits down with one of football’s most iconic managers… Jurgen Klopp. From arriving in Liverpool to building one of the most exciting teams the Premier League has ever seen, Klopp opens up on EVERYTHING — the highs, the heartbreak, and the moments that defined his legacy. He reflects on falling in love with the city, the reality of “failing big,” and how togetherness became the foundation of Liverpool’s success. There’s insight into THAT front three, the importance of players like James Milner, and the relentless mentality that drove Mo Salah to world-class levels. Klopp also gives a rare look into life as a manager — dealing with unhappy players, creating belief, and why sometimes… you need to make players angry to make them better. We also ask the big question.. do you miss it all? Plus, we get stuck into World Cup predictions, Harry Kane’s evolution, and of course… things take a classic Crouchy turn with shin pads, mobile networks, and some unexpected Giffgaff slander. After the Klopp chat, Pete, Sids and Chris break it all down — from what makes Klopp so special, to just how close Liverpool came to complete domination. This is a MASSIVE episode. Insight, laughs, and one of football’s greatest personalities at his very best.

    CLASSIC CLIPS | Niall Horan on Being a “Wonderkid” And One Direction vs. The Beatles Comparisons?!

    FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, Niall Horan sits down with the lads to reflect on the surreal rise from “wonderkid” expectations to global superstardom with One Direction, and the unique pressures that come with being compared to icons like The Beatles.  Niall opens up about how there was “no blueprint” for handling that level of fame, especially when breaking America at such a young age, and recalls the exact moment he realised just how big things had become. The conversation dives into the realities of life on tour, from the chaos of constant travel to staying grounded and present while performing across the world. Niall also shares his ambitions beyond music — including what a Grammy nomination would mean to him — and how he measures success in an industry often compared to football’s biggest prizes. Away from the spotlight, Niall explains how golf became his “great escape” from fame, offering rare moments of peace away from fans and media frenzy. With funny behind-the-scenes stories, reflections on pressure, and honest insight into life at the top, this clip reveals a side of global stardom few get to see.

    EP. 396 | Dermot Kennedy: “You Have To Be DELUDED!” – From Busking to Sold Out Stadiums OVERNIGHT?!

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are joined by global chart-topper Dermot Kennedy for a wide-ranging chat that blends football culture with life on the road as one of the world’s biggest touring artists. From busking on the streets of Dublin to selling out the Aviva Stadium, Dermot opens up about the grind behind his rise, the self-doubt before album releases, and why live performances still mean everything to him. The lads dive into Dermot’s deep love for football, growing up as a Manchester United fan inspired by Roy Keane, and his unforgettable experiences playing Soccer Aid alongside legends like Wayne Rooney, Rivaldo, and Carlos Tevez. There’s also a brilliant crossover between music and football as they compare elite mentality, confidence, and what separates the very best from the rest. We also get a hilarious (and slightly chaotic) guitar lesson for Sids as he prepares for a potential live performance at Finsbury Park, plus a stunning live acoustic performance from Dermot that completely stops the room. After Dermot heads off, Pete and Sids regroup to debrief Pete’s participation in another Liverpool Legends match, the Paddy Power predictions, and life without Chris—who’s conveniently on holiday… Chumbawamba 00:00 - Podcast intro & Sid’s “popstar” identity crisis 03:10 - Wild guest booking stories & big names teased 05:10 - Phone network XI & absurd football chat 07:45 - Dermot Kennedy joins the podcast 09:00 - Touring with global superstars & live show pressure 10:45 - New album nerves & self-doubt before release 12:00 - Busking in Dublin & early arrogance 14:00 - Music industry vs old-school artistry debate 16:00 - Irish music culture & live performance roots 17:30 - Football fandom & Roy Keane stories 19:00 - Meeting Roy Keane & brutal fan encounters 22:00 - Playing football growing up & mental escape 23:30 - Soccer Aid stories & facing elite pros 27:30 - Playing Old Trafford & halftime performance nerves 29:00 - The moment his career exploded overnight 31:30 - Talent vs hard work in music 33:00 - Sid’s chaotic guitar journey begins 35:00 - Sid plays guitar (and survives) 36:30 - Dermot performs live acoustic (incredible moment) 38:30 - Fan questions & bizarre phone plan reveal 40:30 - Songs he nearly didn’t release 42:00 - Touring life & favourite cities 44:00 - Musicians who can actually play football 45:00 - “Game’s Gone” – VAR & modern football rants 48:30 - Dermot leaves & shin pad campaign chaos 50:00 - Liverpool Legends match debrief 55:00 - Paddy Power predictions & football catch-up 01:05:00 - Chris on holiday & podcast wrap-up For more Peter Crouch:  Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch  Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch  For more Chris Stark  Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_Stark Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/ For more Steve Sidwell  Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14  #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

    CLASSIC CLIPS | Rio Ferdinand: “He’d RIP Your Head Off” — Inside Ferguson’s Ruthless Standards

    FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, Rio Ferdinand reflects on his unforgettable first meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson, revealing the intimidation, psychology, and presence that defined Manchester United’s legendary manager. From a surreal hotel encounter that felt carefully staged, to Ferguson’s surprisingly warm pitch that convinced Rio to join the club, this is a rare insight into how one conversation helped secure a British record transfer. Rio also opens up on the reality of life under Sir Alex — from the shift in personality once you crossed onto the training pitch, to the ruthless standards, explosive half-time bollockings, and the relentless winning mentality that drove Manchester United’s dominance. He shares behind-the-scenes details on dressing room culture, training ground intensity, and why respect for Ferguson went far beyond fear. This is a fascinating look at what it truly took to succeed under one of football’s greatest managers, and the mindset required to survive at the very top.

    EP. 395 | Ranking More “Game’s Gone” Moments - Chelsea’s Ref Huddle & Digital Match Programmes?!

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dive headfirst into another chaotic round of your “Game’s Gone” submissions—and nothing is safe. From Chelsea’s baffling centre-circle huddle (with the referee somehow stuck in the middle of it) to the death of printed matchday programmes, the lads dissect the modern game’s strangest trends with their usual mix of nostalgia and disbelief. There’s outrage over “starter and finisher” terminology, confusion around American-style commentary creeping into football, and a proper debate on whether football is quietly losing its identity. The boys also stumble into some all-time ridiculous footballer names, explore bizarre football simulator games, and question whether players today are a bit too… well moisturised. Plus, Crouchy gears up for a Liverpool Legends return at Anfield—with big plans to bring back proper shin pads. Packed with listener submissions, strong opinions, and plenty of laughs, this episode asks the big question once again: has the game well and truly gone?

    CLASSIC CLIPS | What’s In a Premier League Striker’s Contact? Crouchy On The REALITY Of Goal Bonuses

    FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, Crouchy dives into the details of his contract during his time at Stoke City, revealing the realities behind goal bonuses in top-flight football. Crouch breaks down a clause that rewarded him for hitting double figures in a season, and reflects on the pressure, mentality, and decision-making that comes with it — including whether players ever act selfishly in pursuit of financial incentives. He opens up on dressing room dynamics, the psychology of strikers in front of goal, and why he insists money was never his primary motivation on the pitch. The conversation also expands into how modern football has changed, with astronomical wages and bonuses potentially shifting player motivations, as well as a hilarious debate on whether defenders deserve bonuses at all — and why football contracts might be more complicated than they seem.

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by actor, lifelong West Ham fan, and all-round football obsessive Danny Dyer—and it gets properly lively. From the moment he walks in, Danny brings unfiltered opinions on modern football, tearing into everything from agents and player loyalty to the state of fan culture today. He opens up about his latest film, where he plays a ruthless football agent, revealing just how accurate (and brutal) that world really is behind the scenes. The conversation dives deep into West Ham’s rollercoaster journey, including that unforgettable Conference League win, the pain of leaving Upton Park, and why some players simply don’t care enough when relegation is on the line. Danny doesn’t hold back either on fans switching clubs, calling out what he sees as a growing disconnect in the game. There’s also chaos, of course—caravan parks, phone networks, McDonald’s debates, and one of the most random tangents the pod has ever seen. And once Danny heads off, the lads wrap things up with Cheltenham stories, Premier League predictions, and the usual end-of-show madness.

    SNEAK PEAK | Danny Dyer Becomes a Desperate Football Agent With Nothing Left…

    SNEAK PEEK: In this clip, Danny Dyer joins the lads to break down his latest film role, where he plays a desperate football agent fighting to keep his career alive. Danny explains how his new film explored the darker side of the football agent world — the ruthless negotiations, the lack of loyalty in the game, and the pressure that comes with chasing the next big deal. He lifts the lid on the character he plays: a man fresh out of rehab, clinging onto his final client while his life slowly unravels over the course of a tense, one-room drama shot in Dublin. Danny also reflects on the craft of acting after more than three decades in the industry, addressing the perception that he “just plays himself” and why, for him, the real measure of an actor is simple — getting hired and delivering the job. From the brutal realities of football agents to the challenge of carrying an entire film largely alone on screen, Danny reveals why this role pushed him in ways he hadn’t experienced before — and why it might be one of the performances he’s most proud of.
