    We Answer Your Questions: Should Footballers Be TRAPPED at One Club & Our WORST Purchases… | EP. 428

    On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are back answering YOUR ‘Ask Us Anything’ questions, and as always, things take a few unexpected turns! We kick things off with a very special pep talk from LBC’s Tom Swarbrick, who gives the lads the ultimate speech ahead of Starky’s annual lads’ golf trip. Forget motivational speakers, this is all about freedom, friendship, and that first crack of the tin! Then it’s straight into the usual madness, as a listener creates a football team inspired by vasectomies, Pete reveals he watched his dog’s operation in full surgical scrubs, and Sids reveals his best ever response to someone asking “do I know you from somewhere?” The listeners have been bringing the HEAT this week, with questions covering everything from whether footballers should be forced to stay at one club for their entire careers, to ranking the lads’ Football League forfeits and whether the Premier League should introduce bonus points for big wins. We also find out which former teammates the boys would trust to represent them in court, debate whether Ref Cam is actually improving the game, and we discover Chris’s OUTRAGEOUS ostrich travel pillow. The lads eventually catch-up remotely for this weekend’s predictions, with big calls on Leeds vs Manchester United, and plenty of debate about the latest football storylines. And finally, we round things off with ‘Why The Football Not’ - and it’s a belter. Got a question for the lads? Drop it in the comments, and let us know whether you'd back the ostrich pillow or stick to a standard neck cushion. As always, like, subscribe, and we'll see you next week!

    Sam Allardyce: “I’ll Never Get Over It” – His England Regret, Mind Games & Signing Okocha! | EP. 427

    On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are joined by one of football’s biggest characters… Sam Allardyce! Big Sam gets stuck into everything from his playing days as a no-nonsense centre-half to the methods that helped make Bolton one of the most innovative teams in the Premier League. Sam explains how he embraced data, technology and set pieces long before they became staples of modern football, and why he still gets frustrated watching managers simply copy what everyone else is doing. We also get into some of the huge names Sam brought to Bolton, including Jay-Jay Okocha and Nicolas Anelka, as well as his approach to building a dressing room full of different nationalities and personalities. Sam reveals how he convinced top players to take a chance on Bolton and why getting the culture right was just as important as what happened on the pitch. There’s plenty on the other side of management too, as Sam opens up about his time at Newcastle, West Ham, Everton, West Brom and Leeds, including the realities of being brought in to save clubs from relegation and the frustrations of boards who refuse to invest when a team is on the verge of taking the next step. And, of course, we had to talk about England. Sam looks back on the England job, the circumstances surrounding his departure and the changes he wanted to make at St George’s Park. He explains why the experience is something he says “he’ll never get over”, and what he believes could have happened had he been given the opportunity to continue. Plus, there’s VAR, modern recruitment, data analysts, two-striker systems, mind games with rival managers, Arsène Wenger, Sir Alex Ferguson and plenty more from one of the most fascinating managerial careers in English football. This is a big one. Big Sam is in the building.

    That Asmir Begovic Episode: How A Refugee From Bosnia Became A Premier League CHAMPION! | EP. 426

    On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are joined by a veteran goalkeeper who has represented Bosnia and Herzegovina, playing for clubs such as Stoke City, Chelsea, and Everton… it’s Asmir Begović, and he’s here for a proper trip down memory lane. (Also - we’d like to apologise for the scaffolding racket outside during the filming of this episode… this should be the last week of building works) Asmir opens up about his incredible journey from being born in Bosnia during the conflict, fleeing the country with his family and eventually settling in Canada, to making it over to England as a teenager and beginning his professional football career at Portsmouth. Asmir looks back on his time at Pompey, including some brilliant stories from competing with David James, eventually breaking into the first team. He also reveals what it was like working under Tony Pulis at Stoke, the strict rules in that dressing room, the incredible team spirit they developed and how Crouchy’s arrival helped change the club. The lads also revisit Asmir’s famous long-range Premier League goal, which remains one of the most memorable goals ever scored by a goalkeeper, before getting into his move to Chelsea, his relationship with José Mourinho and what it was like competing with Thibaut Courtois. There’s plenty more along the way, from Asmir’s experiences of football in Canada and his journey through the English leagues to stories from some of the biggest dressing rooms and managers he encountered throughout his career.

    That Tom Fordyce Episode! - From Memory Lane To The World Cup | EP. 425

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are reunited with a very special guest and original podcast legend, Tom Fordyce, for a proper trip down memory lane! Tom joins the boys to reflect on the good old days, the origins of the pod, and the incredible journey from the very first recording to where things are today. The lads dive straight into some classic tournament nostalgia, reminiscing about the madness, the atmosphere, and the unforgettable moments from the World Cup. Tom and Pete share behind-the-scenes stories, hilarious tour tales, and look back at the chaos that made those early days of the podcast so iconic. Of course, it wouldn't be a proper reunion without getting stuck into the legendary folklore of the show—including the story behind Chumbawamba, classic catchphrases, and the listener messages that shaped the community. There are plenty of laughs, classic anecdotes, and top-tier banter as the lads catch up on everything they’ve missed. As always, the boys also get into the latest football talking points, dressing room antics, and the usual listener emails and dilemmas.

    Tom Davis: “I Was Sh!t At Everything!” – Scaffolding To Stand-Up & The Reluctant Vampire | EP. 424

    On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are joined by comedian Tom Davis for a proper chat about football, comedy, West Ham and his new show, The Reluctant Vampire. Tom talks about his journey from working on building sites to becoming a successful comedian, actor and writer, including the moment Mickey Flanagan convinced him to give stand-up a go and what it was really like getting on stage for the first time at 32.  The lads also get stuck into Tom’s brilliant Murder in Successville, hearing about the chaos of improvising with celebrities and footballers, as well as the very different realities of being funny on a podcast and actually standing in front of a room full of people waiting for you to make them laugh. Football is never far away, with Tom opening up about his love for West Ham, his memories of Upton Park and why he feels the club has lost some of its identity. We chat about the changing relationship between clubs and supporters, the impact of social media, working-class fans, Declan Rice, Mark Noble and Jarrod Bowen, and whether West Ham can bounce straight back to the Premier League. And finally, it’s time for Chris Stark’s Paddy Power forfeit. After losing the podcast’s score prediction league, Chris has to perform stand-up for the first time ever — at a proper comedy club, in front of hundreds of people, with Andrew Mensch and the lads helping him prepare. There are nerves, emergency jokes, an outrageous ring walk, a very personal check-up story… As the Crouchy puts it: “that takes some bollocks or a bollock.” Chumbawamba - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  00:00 - The lads tease Chris Stark’s upcoming forfeit 05:00 - Everton’s £25,000 “Legends VIP” experience 08:30 - Who should the podcast send to Everton? 10:57 - Tom Davis joins the podcast 11:01 - Tom Davis, Chris Stark and the great barbecue war 14:25 - Tom’s stand-up tour and his new love of golf 16:21 - The madness of Murder in Successville 18:21 - Tom’s funniest celebrity moments from the show 20:11 - How Mickey Flanagan inspired Tom to do stand-up 21:00 - Tom’s first Peter Crouch joke 22:18 - Why being funny on a podcast doesn’t make you a stand-up 28:26 - Tom’s brutal introduction to life on the building sites 29:20 - Tom’s prank calls and being “useless” at scaffolding 30:21 - How Tom became obsessed with West Ham 32:06 - Why West Ham have lost their identity 34:17 - “Working-class people have been strangled out” of football 36:06 - Social media and football fans demanding answers 38:12 - Can West Ham romp the Championship? 40:15 - What makes a genuinely great football squad 41:10 - Tom’s favourite West Ham era and Upton Park memories 42:10 - Declan Rice, Mark Noble and West Ham’s talismanic players 44:05 - Why Jarrod Bowen staying could make him a West Ham legend 47:05 - Tom on West Ham’s uncertain future 48:18 - Tom’s thoughts on Thomas Tuchel and Gareth Southgate 50:32 - Why Southgate changed England’s relationship with the fans 01:00:45 - Tom’s bizarre FIFA obsession led him to coaching 01:02:17 - When Tom’s wife caught him getting FIFA lessons 01:03:58 - Tom falls back into his gaming addiction 01:04:27 - Tom says goodbye 01:05:24 - The lads reveal how Chris’ forfeit went 01:08:00 - The coffee name game and football prediction chat 01:13:57 - The lads make their latest score predictions 01:15:05 - Chris’s forfeit mini-doc begins - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Join our Patreon Community - https://www.patreon.com/cw/ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Shoutout to @‌rodemic, now powering the audio for the pod! - https://brandstore.rode.com/crouchpod 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.

    “It Will Come Good!” Will Spurs Turn It Around? & Why Arsenal Win The League By 15 Points! | EP. 423

    On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are back with another chaotic round-up of football, forfeits, predictions and some genuinely bizarre stories from the weekend. The lads kick things off by finally revealing more about Chris’ comedy club forfeit, including the nerves before he took to the stage and the incredible reaction from an unsuspecting fan who realised exactly why Chris was there. The conversation then takes an unexpected turn as the boys discuss the strange habit of giving fake names when ordering coffee — with one particular Brazilian footballer-themed idea quickly becoming a potential global game. We also get into the weekend’s football, including Arsenal’s impressive win over Chelsea and whether they could really run away with the Premier League. The lads debate Arsenal’s mentality, their defensive strength and the impact of their new signings, before discussing the controversial incident involving Morgan Rogers and Declan Rice. Elsewhere, Jamie Vardy’s move to Burnley gets a mention, the boys react to Alex Gilbert’s brilliant Inbetweeners-inspired announcement video, and there’s plenty of love for Hull Marina — perhaps the next great summer destination?! The boys also debate whether Spurs can finally turn things around, before reading some brilliant Why The Football Not? submissions, including one fan who watched his team win promotion from a tree and another who travelled from Dublin to Liverpool on a free ticket with no money, hotel or plan. And then things take a very unexpected turn when Pete’s podiatrist arrives mid-recording to deal with his troublesome footballer’s toenails. The lads investigate Pete’s bizarre feet, discuss whether they’re a footballer thing, and somehow turn the whole situation into one of the strangest moments of the episode. Another week, another set of disasters. Enjoy!

    Stuart Pearce: How PSYCHO Went From Electrician to England Legend & Brian Clough Stories! | EP. 422

    On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are joined by England, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City legend Stuart Pearce — aka Psycho — for a proper trip down memory lane. Stuart opens up about his remarkable journey from playing non-league football and working as an electrician to becoming a professional footballer, England international and one of the most recognisable defenders of his generation. He tells the story of how a chance encounter with Brian Clough eventually led to his move to Nottingham Forest, and how the famous “Psycho” nickname came about. The lads also get into Stuart’s England career, including the highs and lows of Italia ’90 and Euro ’96, his infamous penalty miss against Germany, and the emotional redemption of scoring from the spot against Spain six years later. Stuart explains why the experience of missing that penalty stayed with him — and how it ultimately changed the way he approached pressure, failure and success. Away from football, there are some brilliant Stuart Pearce stories too, from his love of punk music and a particularly surreal night at a gig in Moscow, to travelling to North Korea and his obsession with seeing as much of the world as possible. And, of course, there’s plenty of classic Crouch Podcast chat along the way — including hedge diving, football stickers, Stuart’s legendary toughness and some seriously good dressing-room and Cloughy stories. A fascinating conversation with one of English football’s great characters.

    The Zante Goalkeeper Calls Out Crouchy, Opening Day Mauling & The £2.5m Maradona Ball... | EP. 421

    On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are back talking all things GW1 as the Premier League gets properly underway. Pete kicks things off by summarising his attendance at the Spurs v Brentford game, before the lads get sidetracked by the now-infamous Zante goalkeeper — who has apparently heard about the podcast and has sent a rather aggressive message Pete’s way! Naturally, the boys decide there’s only one thing to do… head to Zante and take him on themselves. The lads then get into the opening weekend of the Premier League, including the strange situation around Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa, with Sids sharing his own experience of knowing he was leaving Reading for Chelsea but continuing to play and train as normal. The conversation turns to whether players should ever take themselves out of the firing line when a transfer is on the cards, and how much physicality, hunger and desire now matter in the Premier League. Chris then tackles his own disastrous comedy attempts ahead of his forfeit, some questionable listener jokes, and the increasingly surreal experience of being recognised in public — including a very awkward airport encounter. Elsewhere, the lads debate who has the strangest pre-match traditions, discuss Peter’s latest Paddy Power advert, and wonder which piece of football memorabilia could possibly beat Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ ball.
