EP. 339 | The Madness of Loan Moves & Why We NEED a Fourth Official Appreciation Day
On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Peter Crouch, Chris Stark, and Steve Sidwell dive into the ins and outs of loan moves: the good, the bad, and the brutally honest. Drawing from personal experience, Sids opens up about being sent out on loan early in his career and how it shaped his future, while Crouchy shares the highs and harsh realities of being loaned to clubs to fight for game time. The lads also get into the unique pressure young players face, the role of managers during these periods, and how loan spells can make, or break, careers. The lads dissect a big weekend of Premier League action, including Arsenal vs Man City and Liverpool vs Everton, while unpacking the bizarre booking of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for taking a quick free kick and why sprinting around the back of the goal is a tactical masterpiece. Fourth official respect, a genius Sunday League campaign featuring Sids himself, surprise matchday moments next to Joe Gomez, and a deeper dive into the wild plan to make Refs famous. It's soup season. It's prediction season. #FootballLoans #PremierLeague #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast #Podcast #PeterCrouch Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back for this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast! We return from our summer break with a very special episode featuring reigning PDC World Champion Luke "The Nuke" Littler. At just 18 years old, Luke has taken the darts world by storm, rising from pub leagues to global stardom in record time. Pete, Chris, and Sids dive into Luke’s rapid journey, from his first throws as a kid to competing — and winning — on the biggest stages.

EP. 332 | Henri Lansbury: “I Knew I Had Cancer… But I Didn’t Want to Stop Playing”
On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by former Arsenal and Nottingham Forest midfielder Henri Lansbury—a man known for his composed playmaking style, his Premier League journey, and now, his unexpected new life as a lawn-care entrepreneur. Henri gets candid about a life-changing diagnosis—testicular cancer—and opens up on how he discovered it, why he kept it quiet during his career, and how football dressing room culture shaped his response. In a powerful, funny, and refreshingly honest chat, Henri explains the moment he realised something was wrong, the speed of his surgery, and how football banter helped him process it all. The lads also dive into Henri’s career journey through Arsenal’s elite youth system, wild loan spells at Scunthorpe and Norwich, and his glory years at Forest. There’s even time to talk about robot lawn mowers, silent discos, and how Henri went from footballer to founder of Grass Gains, the fertiliser brand making waves in Premier League stadiums and home gardens alike. Stick around to hear some top-class football nostalgia, locker room laughs, and the kind of heartfelt real talk that this podcast delivers best.

EP. 331 | “The Game Is GONE” - We Need To Talk About Modern Football
On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris Stark, and Steve Sidwell reunite to discuss the state of modern football—and it’s safe to say, the game has well and truly gone.

Chris discusses his injury from a rogue five-year-old’s high five, Steve shares his story about proposing again on his 20th wedding anniversary, and Crouchy flexes his new golf trophy win, sparking a movement to secure him VIP parking across the UK. But it’s the main debate that steals the show—“has football officially lost the plot?” The team deep dive into everything that grinds their gears about the modern game: players filming with phones on the pitch, soulless shirt sponsors, managers refusing to adapt tactics, and the death of spontaneity in football moments thanks to VAR. Plus, we use AI to generate Sids a FAKE girlfriend in the Chumbawumbar… trust us, this one's a belter.

The lads dig deep into Hal’s journey, how his homemade turmeric shots went from his dad’s blender to supermarket shelves, and why inflammation might be the root of most modern-day health issues. There’s talk of brutal Premier League realities, the dressing room dynamics no one sees, and how football still fails players when it comes to mental health. Plus, what it’s really like being a boot boy for the one and only Steve Sidwell, why David Ginola was tight at Christmas, and the story behind how a promised £50-a-goal bonus proved surprisingly lucrative for a young Robson-Kanu.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by none other than Martin Tyler – the legendary commentator affectionately known across the world as the voice of football. With a career spanning over five decades, Martin reflects on iconic moments behind the mic – from “Collymore closing in!” to Aguero’s title-winning goal.

EP. 325 | These HILARIOUS Footballer Adverts Will Leave You Speechless…
On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete and Chris (with Sids still on the beach) dive headfirst into the hilarious and often cringe world of footballers in adverts. From Crouchy’s proudest Pringles moment to the beauty of the Jamie Vardy Thailand ad, nothing is off limits. The boys reminisce over iconic commercials—from the Carlsberg Sunday League masterpiece to Owen’s iconic Dubai helicopter advert—and question whether footballers should ever really act again. Crouchy shares tales from the set with Fabregas and Anelka, while the lads dissect Cristiano Ronaldo’s truly bewildering Shopee ad and discuss the genius of Burger King's Stevenage FIFA hack. We also hear from listeners: should clubs pick players based on acting skills? And what really is the greatest beer of all time? Airport beer? Train beer? Christmas Guinness? The debate gets rowdy, nostalgic, and weirdly emotional.
