    That Ballon d'Or Episode: Harry Kane for a knighthood, is Carrick in trouble & Sids v KSI? I EP. 430
    Oct 28 2026
    On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris and Sids are back to discuss Harry Kane's historic Ballon d'Or victory, the mounting pressure on Michael Carrick at Manchester United, and some surprising rumours surrounding Crouchy's potential involvement in buying a football club. Pete finally addresses speculation about his involvement in a football club takeover, revealing that he had been part of a consortium looking to invest in a club before the deal ultimately fell through. Naturally, Chris and Sids aren't letting him off lightly, as they interrogate Pete about his business ambitions, Abbey's potential involvement, and whether there's more to the story than he's letting on. The lads also turn their attention to Manchester United, where Michael Carrick finds himself under increasing pressure following another difficult run of results. Pete and Sids defend their former teammate, question the behaviour of certain players, and debate whether the problems at Old Trafford run much deeper than whoever happens to be sitting in the manager's chair. There's also a huge moment for English football as Harry Kane is crowned the world's best player after winning the Ballon d'Or. Pete reflects on Kane's incredible journey from Tottenham youngster to global superstar, reveals how his family celebrated the victory, and shares details of a memorable FaceTime call with Harry after the ceremony. Of course, Crouchy also finds a way to take some of the credit for Kane's success. Elsewhere, the boys tackle one of football's great moral dilemmas after a listener admits to watching Liverpool while his wife recovered from giving birth. This sparks a heated debate about football in the delivery room, questionable birthing playlists, and whether there's ever an appropriate time to play Salt-N-Pepa's 'Push It'. The lads also look back at another unpredictable weekend in the Premier League, with Spurs beating Chelsea, Aston Villa overcoming Manchester City, and Liverpool getting the better of Brighton. Attention then turns to the upcoming fixtures, including Liverpool against Arsenal and Chelsea against Manchester United, as the boys make their latest predictions. And as always, there's plenty of classic TPCP nonsense along the way. Pete manages to upset Chris by admitting he wasn't listening to him, the boys offer some questionable encouragement for a listener's football-filled lads' weekend, and a rather outrageous listener's XI brings the episode to a fitting conclusion. As always, leave your comments below and let us know whether you'd watch football in the delivery room, what you make of Michael Carrick's situation, and which football club you'd like to see Crouchy buy. Chumbawamba!

    That China Episode: Football's Biggest Paydays, Derby Day Memories & Digital Red Cards?! | EP. 429
    Oct 21 2026

    On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete is calling in all the way from China, while Sids and Chris hold the fort in the Chumbawambar! After a 13-hour flight, a four-hour drive and a whirlwind trip that’s left Pete completely out of sync with the rest of the world, the lads get stuck into another week of football madness.


    We debate the BIG question facing modern footballers: would you turn down a HUGE tax-free payday just to stay in the Premier League? From Oscar’s big-money move to China to the Saudi Pro League’s growing influence, the lads discuss ambition, loyalty and whether you can really blame players for taking the money.


    Elsewhere, football really has gone mad, as the boys discuss referees using PHONES to show yellow and red cards. There’s also a look at Brighton’s emphatic 5-0 demolition of Crystal Palace, before the lads revisit some of their biggest derby-day highs and lows. Pete remembers THAT North London derby comeback with Spurs, scoring at Goodison Park and the time his QPR side were absolutely battered by Arsenal.


    And if you thought training sessions were always straightforward, think again. Pete reveals how Stoke managed to go 1-0 down during a training drill… against absolutely NO ONE. Add in a rather unusual taxidermy badger purchase and you’ve got another episode packed with stories, debates and plenty of nonsense.


    Finally, we predict Chelsea vs Spurs, Aston Villa vs Manchester City and Liverpool vs Brighton… who’s backing who this weekend? Will Chris extend his lead? can Sids close the gap? and will Crouchy’s predictions save him from finishing rock bottom? Get involved in the comments and let us know your picks!

    We Answer Your Questions: Should Footballers Be TRAPPED at One Club & Our WORST Purchases… | EP. 428
    Oct 14 2026
    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.

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

    Sam Allardyce: “I’ll Never Get Over It” – His England Regret, Mind Games & Signing Okocha! | EP. 427
    Oct 7 2026
    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.Chumbawamba- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 00:00 - The lads discuss their weekends and the bizarre “regards to your family” phenomenon03:16 - Chris discovers he absolutely hates Halloween scare mazes06:15 - Could the lads become scare-maze actors for a forfeit?08:56 - Sam Allardyce joins the podcast and explains where “Big Sam” came from10:13 - Sam on being a no-nonsense centre-half and learning to play football14:22 - Sam’s biggest frustrations with VAR and how it is hurting football15:35 - The rise of the set-piece coach18:27 - Why Sam loves two strikers21:15 - Kevin Davies, Bolton and the simple maths behind Sam’s success23:39 - How Sam used data and technology before it became standard in football27:16 - Bolton’s culture and signing global stars29:14 - Jay-Jay Okocha and Anelka33:17 - Newcastle, Mike Ashley and the beginning of Sam’s “survival manager” reputation37:15 - West Ham, Champions League ambitions and why clubs fail to push on42:04 - Sam on recruitment, data analysts and why scouts still matter45:52 - The England job48:02 - Sam’s mind games with rival managers51:28 - The difference between building a club and saving it53:25 - West Brom, COVID and why Sam regrets taking the job56:45 - Sam opens up about losing the England job and why he’ll never get over it59:01 - What Sam wanted to change with England01:05:00 - Sam faces listener questions01:06:00 - The chip shop meme01:11:04 - Sam Allardyce leaves01:15:00 - Paddy Power segment, Why The Football Not? & predictions01:25:20 - The final discussions and sign-of- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Join our Patreon Community - https://www.patreon.com/cw/ThatPeterCrouchPodcastShoutout to @‌rodemic, now powering the audio for the pod! - https://brandstore.rode.com/crouchpodFor more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - 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.

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

    That Asmir Begovic Episode: How A Refugee From Bosnia Became A Premier League CHAMPION! | EP. 426
    Sep 30 2026

    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.

    Tom Davis: “I Was Sh!t At Everything!” – Scaffolding To Stand-Up & The Reluctant Vampire | EP. 424
    Sep 16 2026

    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.”

    “It Will Come Good!” Will Spurs Turn It Around? & Why Arsenal Win The League By 15 Points! | EP. 423
    Sep 9 2026

    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!
