That Peter Crouch Podcast

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. He shares the unseen prep behind a commentator’s job, how he once nearly turned down the TV gig entirely, and the surreal reality of being more recognised for his voice than his face. Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dig into Tyler’s personal story: from his grassroots beginnings, non-league coaching adventures, close friendships with legendary managers, and why even now, aged 78, he’s still chasing energy and the joy of football. It’s a nostalgic, surprisingly emotional, and often hilarious look at the man behind some of football’s most spine-tingling moments.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by Nigerian football icon John Obi Mikel—AFCON & Champions League winner, Olympic medalist, and a legend of Chelsea’s golden era. Mikel opens up about everything: from the infamous tackle Crouchy dished out on him, to going toe-to-toe with Roy Keane in Manchester, Mourinho’s ruthless tactics, and why he turned down Manchester United after signing with them. The lads dive into Mikel’s explosive transfer saga—complete with missing persons reports and undercover meetings with Roman Abramovich—his unfiltered take on the corruption in African football, and the moment he personally funded a flight for Nigeria’s Olympic squad to keep their dreams alive. You’ll hear stories about Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Mo Salah, Kevin De Bruyne, and why Mourinho made Salah cry. This one’s full of heavyweight moments from one of the coolest heads ever to grace a football pitch.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are let loose on a (questionable) pub quiz, taking on the ultimate test of football knowledge—and things go completely off-script. With producer Jamie stepping in as quizmaster, Pete, Chris, and Sids are thrown into a whirlwind of Premier League trivia, bizarre football stats, and the kind of curveball questions that make you question everything you thought you knew about the beautiful game. But in true pod fashion, it’s far from plain sailing. There's chaos over pancake maths, debates about walking stats, a very public golfing humiliation, and an absolutely mental story involving a premier league legend gifting Chris Stark’s mum some cheese (yes, really). There are shoutouts to podcast icon Tucker’s 19, beefs with rival podcasts, and even a passionate debate on gas vs. charcoal. Play along, keep score, and let us know in the comments how you did. But be warned—some of these questions will do you in. Chumbawamba  02:25 – the golf swing fail seen ‘round the internet. 07:03 – The surprise quiz episode. 00:08:11 – Are quizzes… erotic? 00:09:43 – Quiz begins: Who kept a clean sheet against Liverpool? 00:14:13 – 3 clean sheets leaves the lads stumped 00:20:03 – “Tucker’s 19” becomes an elite in-joke. 00:23:07 – Revealing the Premier League’s top walker… 00:26:05 – Who is the slowest player in the league? 00:30:02 – Can you trigger a speed camera on foot? 00:42:24 – The UK eats HOW many pancakes in one day?! 00:46:11 – Chris reveals who used to send his mum cheese. 00:52:49 – Listener idea: Golden Goal with a twist – remove a player every 3 minutes!

AD | In this very special Father’s Day bonus episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, made possible by Courvoisier, Peter Crouch is joined solo by his mentor, former boss, and true father figure in football - the legendary football manager Harry Redknapp. From Spurs, Portsmouth, and Southampton, Harry managed Crouchy across three decades of his career. The two dive deep into the moments that defined their journeys together: transfers that almost didn’t happen, career-saving confidence boosts, Premier League relegation battles, Champions League highs, and Redknapp's unique man-management style that helped turn raw talent into England internationals. They share stories of Defoe, Modrić, Bale, Di Canio, and the changing face of football management, from player recruitment to youth development. It’s a laugh-filled, honest, and nostalgic look at the beautiful game, and a heartfelt tribute to the managers and father figures who shape careers—and lives, thanks to Courvoisier!

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.
