Serge opens up about Kasabian’s new music, what drives him as a frontman, and his unique parallels between music and football. They also relive Leicester City’s miraculous Premier League triumph, wild gigs at CrouchFest, and why Sean Dyche might owe him for Crouch’s transfer to Burnley.

Sir Gary Oldman: The Oscar, The Knighthood & The Problem With Manchester United

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.

Luke Littler on Brush With Sir Alex, Fifa With Rooney & His Becoming WORLD CHAMPION at Just 18

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.

Henri Lansbury: “I Knew I Had Cancer… But I Didn’t Want to Stop Playing”

Well, well, well…..what a footballing start to the year it has been for Master Stark. Not only has he been able to nab a 3 pointer but he’s extended his lead on Crouchy and Sids after another very successful weekend. 

But fear not, it is straight back to the business end for the lads who are on fine form this week.

It is also an FA Cup special this week, with the lads looking at Arsenal v Palace, Chelsea v Aston Villa and, of course Chris’ beloved Watford v Southampton.
