    EP. 403 | That Terry Butcher Episode: Maradona’s Hand Of God, Italia ’90 Stories & Bloodied Shirts

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by one of England’s toughest ever players… Terry Butcher. From THAT iconic blood-soaked shirt to facing Diego Maradona at the height of his powers, Terry takes us right inside the chaos, passion, and brutality of football in the 80s and 90s. The lads dive deep into Italia 90, the legendary England dressing room, Gazza stories, Bobby Robson’s management style, and why Terry believes modern football has “gone soft”. There’s also incredible insight into what it actually felt like playing against Maradona during the infamous Hand of God match in 1986 — including what happened when Terry confronted him afterwards. Away from football, Terry opens up emotionally about his son Christopher, his battle with PTSD after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the powerful ITV documentary Invisible Wounds. It’s one of the most honest and moving conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast. Plus: shirt-swapping disasters, Escape To Victory, Dwight Yorke in Australia, and why footballers should stop pulling their socks down. Chumbawamba - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Be sure to watch Invisible Wounds, which will air on ITV and ITVX in June, ahead of England’s World Cup opener v Croatia on June 17th.

    CLASSIC CLIPS | The BIZARRE Transfer Story Involving Les Ferdinand, Turkey & Margaret Thatcher?!

    FROM THE VAULT: In this classic clip, Les Ferdinand looks back on the surprise move to Turkey that completely transformed his career.  After struggling with injuries and self-doubt following his move from non-league football to QPR, Les explains how a loan spell at Besiktas changed his mentality forever. The former England striker opens up on dealing with imposter syndrome, adapting to life in Turkey, and the pressure of suddenly playing in front of packed stadiums after coming from reserve football. Les also reveals the incredible story behind scoring over 20 goals in Turkey, how the experience gave him the confidence to believe he belonged at the top level, and the bizarre moment the Turkish Prime Minister reportedly tried to help keep him at the club permanently by writing a letter to Margaret Thatcher!

    EP. 402 | That Listener Mail Episode: “Open Top Bus For SECOND Place!” - Our Most HEATED Games Gone?

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris dive headfirst into one of the wildest Listener Mail episodes yet — and absolutely nothing is off limits. From pink eye, polyps and footballers wearing makeup on live TV… to whether finishing SECOND deserves an open-top bus parade, the lads somehow manage to cover it all. There’s chaos as the boys debate if modern football has officially gone soft, including refs with trendy haircuts, xG nerds, shirt-off celebrations, and whether heading could eventually disappear from the game entirely. Plus, a listener’s all-time “Games Gone” rant sparks one of the funniest football debates they’ve had in ages. Elsewhere, Pete reveals his secret childhood career working in his grandad’s butcher shop, the Wealdstone Raider officially dumps Chris for Crouchy, and there’s an unbelievable story involving someone legally named after the entire 1979 Liverpool team. The lads also react to bizarre old-school footballer tweets, discuss marathon punishments for the Football League, rank Aussie icons in a “Down Under Vanarama,” and preview the FA Cup Final with the help of Chris’ wife Ria — who might actually be better at predictions than all three of them combined. It’s listener mail at its absolute finest: ridiculous football chat, nostalgia, complete nonsense, and plenty of classic pod chaos.

    CLASSIC CLIPS | The Night Ronaldinho Taught Joe Cole A Brutal Lesson & Mourinho’s RUTHLESS Chelsea

    FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, Joe Cole joins the lads to reflect on the ruthless standards set by Jose Mourinho during Chelsea’s glory years, including the brutal lesson he learned after facing Ronaldinho and Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Joe opens up on Mourinho’s obsession with tactical discipline, the fear factor inside the dressing room, and the savage man-management techniques that kept Chelsea’s squad on edge. The former England international also shares hilarious stories from his first ever England call-up at just 18 years old, including meeting legends like David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Tony Adams, as well as witnessing Kevin Keegan resign after England’s defeat to Germany at the old Wembley.  Elsewhere, Joe breaks down one of football’s most painful and underappreciated jobs — being the designated “charger” in the wall — and why taking a free-kick to the face was sometimes the easy option.

    EP. 401 | That 401st Episode: The Most Chaotic Episode Yet, Mystery Guests & MAD Dressing Room Tales

    On this week’s 401st episode special of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris celebrate hitting an unbelievable milestone… by completely losing control of the show. First up is Portsmouth legend and cult hero Kit Man Kev, who delivers an all-time segment. From washing players’ kits for cash, to lifting sofas over balconies, to wild dressing room stories and boxing sessions with players — Kev gives a brutally honest take on how football has changed, why “the game’s gone,” and what modern players are missing. Next in is Nortei Nortey, where the lads are immediately apologetic for a previous episode’s “funny name” antics… Nortei brings a different footballing perspective with stories from his career, connections to the lads, and a look into Dagenham & Redbridge’s recent takeover. Then things take another left turn as Felix White (The Maccabees) joins — blending football, music, and podcasting worlds. There’s talk of FA Cup obsession, crossover culture, and even a cheeky callback to Crouchy previously slagging off his podcast… before Felix quite literally plays the episode out with a fantastic live musical moment. No script, no structure — just three surprise guests, unbelievable stories, and a 401st episode special that proves sometimes the best episodes are the ones where nobody knows what’s coming next.

    FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale joined the lads to break down the evolving role of the modern goalkeeper and how the position has become more influential than ever. Ramsdale lifted the lid on his relationship with manager Mikel Arteta, explaining how he’s given responsibility to dictate play and make key decisions during build-up phases. The conversation dives into the tactical details behind set pieces, including the increasingly popular “draft excluder” role, with Ramsdale offering a goalkeeper’s perspective on why it’s used, when it matters, and how it can impact the outcome of free kicks. He also shares insight into communication within the squad, the intelligence of teammates like Martin Ødegaard, and the growing importance of goalkeepers in shaping a team’s overall strategy.

    EP. 400 | That James Milner Episode: Elite Mentality, Dressing Room Truths & RECORD-Breaking Career!

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by Premier League legend James Milner — and it’s every bit as honest, chaotic, and insightful as you’d expect. From breaking appearance records to being labelled “boring,” Milner opens up on the mentality that’s kept him at the top for over two decades. He takes us right back to his Leeds debut at just 16, the brutal dressing room culture that shaped him, and the surreal transition from academy kid to first-team regular. The conversation dives deep into his time at Newcastle and Aston Villa, before lifting the lid on the madness at Manchester City — big egos, training ground bust-ups, and the relentless fight to stay in the team amid £30m signings every summer. Milner also shares incredible insight into Liverpool’s transformation under Jürgen Klopp — from early disappointments to building a title-winning machine — revealing the intensity, leadership, and culture that powered one of the most dominant teams in Premier League history. There’s also plenty of classic pod chaos: dressing room pranks, wild fines, and stories that perfectly sum up why Milner is one of football’s most respected pros. After Milner departs, the lads wrap things up with a Paddy Power segment and this week’s Chaos Card, making some very questionable “phone a friend” calls… Chumbawamba 00:00 - Intro, chaos & podcast return 00:14 - Testicular cancer awareness message 00:48 - Giveaway winner & merch chat 02:26 - Milner joins the pod 03:00 - “Boring Milner” label explained 03:38 - Breaking the appearance record 05:16 - Dealing with attention & praise 06:44 - Avoiding the limelight 08:12 - Fitness, longevity & elite standards 10:03 - Dad’s influence & mentality 10:36 - Old-school Leeds dressing room culture 12:18 - Leadership & helping younger players 14:46 - Debut at 16 for Leeds 16:01 - First team training shock 00:17:37 - Premier League debut story 19:29 - Dressing room pranks & chaos 21:41 - Earning respect as a young player 24:15 - Aston Villa move & failed transfer 26:29 - Villa form & career progression 29:00 - Playing 7 positions in one game 30:56 - Man City move & title-winning journey 33:25 - Big egos, fights & training chaos 37:02 - Aguero title moment reaction 39:11 - Liverpool move explained 42:19 - First impressions of Liverpool 45:51 - Klopp’s arrival & ruthless standards 47:19 - Intensity of Klopp training 50:10 - Personal connection & leadership 1:05:00 - Listener messages & wrap up 1:18:46 - Milner leaves the podcast 1:20:30 - Post-interview debrief with the lads 1:25:10 - Paddy Power segment 1:30:15 - Chaos Card: Phone a Friend begins 1:35:40 - Celebrity calls chaos & wrap-up 1:38:50 - Outro 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 | Jermain Defoe's SECRET Timing Tip To Build ELITE Finishers & Using it in Management

    FROM THE VAULT: In this classic clip, former England international and Premier League striker Jermain Defoe joins the lads to break down the fine margins that define elite goal scorers.  Widely regarded as one of the most natural finishers of his generation, Defoe reflects on his early days at West Ham, where he learned crucial lessons from club legend Ian Wright. Defoe reveals the specific training ground drills that shaped his movement in the box, including a brutal but effective method Wright used to improve his timing and composure. He explains why most young forwards make the same costly mistake—arriving too early—and how mastering movement and patience can dramatically increase goal-scoring chances. The conversation also touches on modern strikers like Erling Haaland, the evolution of the game, and how Defoe began transitioning into coaching at Tottenham’s academy. Since this episode was recorded, Defoe has taken the next step in his journey and is now the manager of Woking—making this a fascinating look back at the early ideas and influences shaping his approach to management today.
