That Peter Crouch Podcast: Back Stronger
 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

NEW: That Peter Crouch Podcast

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are joined by a former teammate - with spells at Arsenal, Liverpool, Stoke and Portsmouth (as well as being a long-time friend of the pod!) winger Jermaine Pennant for one of the most honest and equally hilarious conversations the pod has ever had.

Jermaine opens up about being labelled “wasted talent”, growing up with zero structure, and how a late ADHD diagnosis finally helped him understand the chaos, impulsive decisions and moments that defined his career. From becoming a £2m teenager at Arsenal to playing in a Champions League final with Liverpool, Pennant reflects on the highs, the lows, and the managers who either got the best out of him — or completely missed the mark.

The lads also dig into dressing-room dynamics, the importance of man-management, why Steve Bruce got it right, why Rafa Benítez didn’t, and how football ultimately became Jermaine’s escape from childhood trauma. There are laugh-out-loud stories (including one unforgettable pair of Liverpool boots), emotional moments, and a powerful reminder that success isn’t always as simple as trophies and appearances.

Plus, we’ve got darts chaos, Christmas plans, league twists and classic Crouchy tangents.

As always — get involved in the comments. 🎯⚽

Salah Says He’s “Gone” – The Lads React To CARNAGE Interview & Break Down England’s World Cup Group

This week on That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by musician, Liverpool fan and long-time friend of the pod Miles Kane for an episode full of nostalgia, chaos and unbelievable storytelling. From the early days knocking about in Belsize Park to creating his brand-new album Sunlight in the Shadows with Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, Miles lifts the lid on the madness, the music and the moments that shaped him.

We get into FIFA soundtracks, Sky Sports montages and why football and music share the same obsessive mindset. Miles also tells the incredible story of how his childhood hero Roberto Baggio inspired one of his most emotional tracks — and how that song led him all the way to Baggio’s house in Italy for one of the most surreal lunches of his life.

There’s backstage mayhem with Arctic Monkeys, broken ribs in five-a-side, fashion eras gone wrong, and a whole lot of love for the city of Liverpool. It’s a proper journey through the highs, the lessons and the moments that stay with you forever.

Miles Kane’s Crazy Day With Baggio, Untold Arctic Monkeys Backstage Stories & 2000’s Nostalgia

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris and Sids sit down with Joe Cole, former England international, Premier League winner and Champions League finalist, to dive into the untold stories behind his new book Luxury Player.

The lads get stuck into Joe’s early rise as a teenage sensation, the madness of being splashed across the papers at 15, and how fame shaped him long before he stepped onto a Premier League pitch. Joe opens up about the pressure, the jealousy, the misconceptions, and how he found his way through it.

The conversation also takes us inside Chelsea during the Mourinho revolution — the moment Joe realised everything had changed, what training was really like under Jose, and how that era set the foundations for years of dominance. There’s plenty of England nostalgia too: World Cups, quarter-finals, dressing room pranks, and the gut-punch reality of injuries cutting short international dreams.

It’s honest, funny, nostalgic and full of elite-level insight — a proper football chat with one of the game’s most naturally gifted players. And yes, there’s tales wine-tasting chaos, mascot scandals, and insight into a black cab driver giving massages at Chelsea… Strap in.

Joe Cole: “We Knew We Were Becoming a Machine” — Chelsea Behind The Scenes & That England Heartbreak

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads sit down with Premier League and England goalkeeping legend Joe Hart for an unbelievably honest, funny and revealing chat about the wildest moments of his career. From the chaotic early days at Manchester City and their takeover era, to the surreal Aguero title-winner scenes, Joe takes us inside the dressing room, the pressure, and the mentality of surviving as a top-level No.1.

He opens up on the brutal moment Pep Guardiola told him he wasn’t part of the new City vision, the emotional rollercoaster of being England’s first-choice keeper, and the madness of shooting sessions with Beckham, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard and Crouchy himself. The lads also go deep on team culture, loans, being replaced, punditry life, and even why goalkeepers should be allowed to wear hats again.

And of course, there are stories from the 2010 World Cup dartboard battles, arguments with Declan Rice, and Joe’s new extreme-challenge podcast. Let us know in the comments — what would YOU have done in Joe’s position when Pep arrived?

Joe Hart: “Pep Told Me I Was Done” - Training Session Wind Ups, City’s Takeover & Celtic Redemption

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Steve are joined by two of football’s most iconic gaffers — Tony Pulis and Mick McCarthy. 

Between them, they’ve seen it all: Premier League survival battles, international tournaments, and the changing face of English football. The lads dig deep into what it really means to be a manager — from adapting your tactics to your players, to dealing with the press, to that gut-wrenching moment when you know “the game’s gone.”

Tony opens up about his no-nonsense days at Stoke, why long grass was a tactical weapon, and the dark art of winning ugly. Mick recalls his highs with Ireland, his time at Wolves, and the unforgettable press conference moment that went viral for all the wrong reasons. Together, they share hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, harsh truths about modern football, and surprisingly tender reflections on what they miss — and don’t miss — about life in the dugout.

It’s a masterclass in management, packed with wisdom, wit, and a few classic gaffer blow-ups. Strap in for old-school honesty and some brilliant football nostalgia — and let us know in the comments… has the game really gone?

World Cup Hero Mary Earps: The Moment I Nearly Quit Football – “I Sold My Stuff On eBay To Survive”

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids take a hilariously chaotic deep dive into how football has evolved — from Sunday League chaos to Pep-inspired tactical revolutions. The lads debate how analytics, player freedom, and “DNA” have changed the game forever, reminiscing about the days when defenders could “absolutely destroy” someone without a hundred cameras watching.

Expect sidetracks galore — from Center Parcs chaos, dodgy camera angles, and “missionary” score predictions to the invention of Crouchy’s Skill of the Week. There’s also a serious football chat about how big clubs influence playing styles, why corners are “ruined forever,” and how long throws are making a comeback.

To top it all off, the boys pitch their next big idea: turning their paint colours into reality… any paint companies out there fancy it?

Evolution of Football: Long Throws, Pep Ball & Has Data Officially DESTROYED the Game?

He shares stories from Burnley’s golden years, the chaos of Everton’s survival seasons, and his thoughts on football’s return to big number 9’s, directness, and long balls.

 The lads also dive into dressing room psychology, VAR frustrations, and post-football plans — from coaching to business ventures. Expect honest football chat, great banter, and a few unexpected laughs (including Tarky’s Frozen piano moment).

James Tarkowski: That Liverpool Equaliser, Grealish’s Impact & Battles with Haaland And Van Dijk

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by free agent and Crystal Palace legend Joel Ward. From lifting the FA Cup to living in a Bible college, Joel dives deep into the highs, lows, and surprises of his footballing journey.

The lads chat about Ward’s free agent life, what it’s really like being on the sidelines after a long stint at a club, and how he's mentoring the next generation at Palace. They also get stuck into proper dressing room stories, the real power of player faith groups, and one of the most intense atmospheres in football — Fratton Park on a European night.

Oh, and things take a serious left turn into 18-hour brisket smoking sessions and barbecuing like a pro. Is Joel Ward the best footballing pitmaster in the country? You'll have to listen to find out.
