That Peter Crouch Podcast

On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are joined by England, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City legend Stuart Pearce — aka Psycho — for a proper trip down memory lane. Stuart opens up about his remarkable journey from playing non-league football and working as an electrician to becoming a professional footballer, England international and one of the most recognisable defenders of his generation. He tells the story of how a chance encounter with Brian Clough eventually led to his move to Nottingham Forest, and how the famous “Psycho” nickname came about. The lads also get into Stuart’s England career, including the highs and lows of Italia ’90 and Euro ’96, his infamous penalty miss against Germany, and the emotional redemption of scoring from the spot against Spain six years later. Stuart explains why the experience of missing that penalty stayed with him — and how it ultimately changed the way he approached pressure, failure and success. Away from football, there are some brilliant Stuart Pearce stories too, from his love of punk music and a particularly surreal night at a gig in Moscow, to travelling to North Korea and his obsession with seeing as much of the world as possible. And, of course, there’s plenty of classic Crouch Podcast chat along the way — including hedge diving, football stickers, Stuart’s legendary toughness and some seriously good dressing-room and Cloughy stories. A fascinating conversation with one of English football’s great characters.

On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are back talking all things GW1 as the Premier League gets properly underway. Pete kicks things off by summarising his attendance at the Spurs v Brentford game, before the lads get sidetracked by the now-infamous Zante goalkeeper — who has apparently heard about the podcast and has sent a rather aggressive message Pete’s way! Naturally, the boys decide there’s only one thing to do… head to Zante and take him on themselves. The lads then get into the opening weekend of the Premier League, including the strange situation around Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa, with Sids sharing his own experience of knowing he was leaving Reading for Chelsea but continuing to play and train as normal. The conversation turns to whether players should ever take themselves out of the firing line when a transfer is on the cards, and how much physicality, hunger and desire now matter in the Premier League. Chris then tackles his own disastrous comedy attempts ahead of his forfeit, some questionable listener jokes, and the increasingly surreal experience of being recognised in public — including a very awkward airport encounter. Elsewhere, the lads debate who has the strangest pre-match traditions, discuss Peter’s latest Paddy Power advert, and wonder which piece of football memorabilia could possibly beat Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ ball.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris express their absolute dismay towards the Community Shield’s double booking, and ask whether Manchester City’s 3-0 defeat to Arsenal is anything to worry about for Pep’s replacement Enzo Maresca. The Gunners’ strong start has the lads wondering if they could run away with a consecutive Premier League title, and we also get into the Championship - with Millwall backed to make a serious push for the playoffs and plenty of love for the players expected to light up the season. Sids signs off from the Maldives before the lads are joined by singer-songwriter Ben Cipolla, whose football-inspired songs have taken social media by storm. Ben explains how a joke about Brighton’s Deniz Undav turned into a growing catalogue of football songs, before revealing how his Djed Spence song exploded after an appearance on 606. He also talks about becoming a full-time musician, his ambitions to take the football songs even further, and Chris reveals his dream of Ben reaching the Christmas Number One spot. And if that wasn’t enough, Ben brings along some homemade dips from his mate Paddy (in classic random pod fashion), performs his brilliant football songs live in the studio, and then unveils an EXCLUSIVE new song written especially for the podcast – ‘Back Stronger’.

On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are back in person and getting stuck into one of the best parts of pre-season… making wildly confident predictions that will definitely come back to haunt them by May. The lads run through their 26/27 season predictions, including who they think will lift the Premier League trophy, who makes the top four, who takes the Golden Boot, Golden Glove, which big-money signing could flop, and which players are set for a breakout season. There are some big calls too, with Arsenal backed by some of the lads, Manchester United tipped as genuine title challengers, and Liverpool surprisingly left out of one predicted top four. We also get into the summer transfer madness, including Morgan Rogers’ huge £117m move to Chelsea, Elliot Anderson’s £116m switch, West Ham’s retention of Jarrod Bowen and Spurs bringing in Sandro Tonali. The lads debate whether £100m has effectively become the new normal in football, and why the modern game seems to be producing fewer kids who actually want to grow up and be strikers. Elsewhere, we discuss West Ham’s decision to permanently ban half-and-half scarves, discover a bizarre half-and-half calf tattoo, and hear about the legendary Zante goalkeeper who lets holidaymakers take penalties against him for a euro. Oh, and there’s a Peter Crouch tune. Obviously.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids return for a pre-season catch-up as they look ahead to another year of football, guests, and complete podcast chaos. Fresh from a summer break, the lads swap stories from their latest adventures, including Pete's new obsession with barbecuing, why outdoor kitchens are harder to use than they look, and the ambitious plans for a 24-hour charity livestream that could become one of the biggest things TPCP has ever attempted. With the new football season just around the corner, the boys turn the episode over to you, reading through hundreds of listener suggestions for how the podcast could evolve. From crossover episodes and live tours to new weekly games, Sunday League commentary, bowling competitions and even a wives takeover, no idea is too ridiculous to escape discussion. Along the way they somehow find themselves defending the reputation of every bloke called Carl, pitching LeBron James as a regular feature, and putting Barack Obama on the ever-growing guest wishlist. The lads also reflect on just how far the podcast has come over the past decade, from recording in pubs to interviewing Oscar winners, future kings and football's biggest names, while looking ahead to another season packed with huge guests, Premier League chat, and plenty of the nonsense you've come to expect. As always, let us know your favourite ideas in the comments below and tell us which new feature you'd love to hear on TPCP this season.

Pete reflects on receiving his long-awaited England cap from Harry Kane, what it was like travelling across the United States, meeting LeBron James, and reveals his plans to take his family to watch Liverpool face Wrexham at the Yankee’s Stadium before heading home. With pre-season now underway across football, the lads dive into what really happens when players report back for day one. From dreaded body fat tests and bleep tests to Tony Pulis' infamous training camps, army boot camps, endless bike rides and the stories every footballer has from surviving the toughest week of the year, they reveal why pre-season is both feared and respected inside the game. Chris also finds out that his long-awaited Paddy Power comedy forfeit is finally happening, while the boys discuss future podcast challenges, listener ideas for the new season, and somehow end up debating whether your back can actually be fit.

On this episode Pete, Sids and Tom bring the curtain down on an unforgettable six-week journey across the 2026 FIFA World Cup , recording their final tournament episode from a New York City pub after witnessing Spain crowned world champions. The trio react to Spain's 1-0 World Cup Final victory over Argentina , discussing why Spain were deserved winners after conceding just one goal throughout the entire tournament. They break down Argentina's defensive approach, the controversial scenes that overshadowed the final, Lionel Messi's quiet performance, and debate whether England missed a huge opportunity after their dramatic semi-final exit. Looking back on an incredible summer across the USA, Mexico and Canada , they revisit the biggest moments of the tournament—from exclusive behind-the-scenes access inside the England camp and Peter Crouch receiving his England Legacy Cap from Harry Kane, to visiting the iconic Estadio Azteca, meeting LeBron James, travelling across North America, and recording the podcast from unforgettable locations. The episode also reflects on England's World Cup campaign, Jude Bellingham's emergence as one of the world's elite footballers, the standout players of the tournament, favourite matches, funniest stories from the road, and why this has been one of the most memorable experiences the team has ever shared. To finish, the Paddy Power Predictions League reaches its dramatic conclusion as the final standings are revealed, crowning this year's champion and confirming who must face the dreaded forfeit.

On this episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete and Sids record from New York following England's heartbreaking World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina, reflecting on an emotional night that saw Thomas Tuchel's side come agonisingly close to reaching a World Cup final. The lads discuss the incredible atmosphere surrounding the tournament, the unique experience of covering football across America, and why this World Cup has delivered some of the most memorable stadiums and fan experiences they've ever witnessed. The boys break down exactly where England's semi-final slipped away, debating whether sitting too deep ultimately cost them, the tactical decisions made in the closing stages, and whether the substitutions should have been more attacking. They discuss Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham's performances, Declan Rice's importance to the side, the emergence of Jed Spence and Dan Burn, and whether this England squad should ultimately be remembered as a success despite the painful exit. Former England defender Gary Neville then joins the pod for an honest and emotional reaction to England's defeat. Gary explains what it feels like to be knocked out of a major tournament, why players carry those moments for the rest of their lives, and analyses Thomas Tuchel's biggest decisions. He also discusses England's defensive approach, whether the criticism of Tuchel is justified, the positives to take from the tournament, and why this World Cup has been one of the best football spectacles in recent memory. There's also another ridiculous challenge as the boys swap footballs for darts with Morgan Rogers. Meanwhile Chris Stark dials in a special interview with the Blossoms as they discuss their new music and thoughts on the world cup so far. Wrapping up with the latest Paddy Power Predictions League ahead of the World Cup Final, Tom's predictions from afar, and plenty of classic TPCP chaos—including power cuts, questionable New York backdrops and the usual nonsense.

On this episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Tom are given unprecedented access inside England's World Cup training camp as they go behind the scenes with Thomas Tuchel's squad ahead of a huge quarter-final against Norway. After England's unforgettable victory over Mexico, the lads witness first-hand the togetherness that's driving this squad, with Peter receiving an emotional England Legacy Cap presented by Harry Kane in front of the entire team. Pete also chats with Harry Kane to relive the incredible night at the Azteca, discussing the celebrations, the emotional Wonderwall moments with England fans, the challenges of tournament life, and why this squad feels different to any England team before it. The captain opens up about the adrenaline of knockout football, family life during the World Cup and what it really feels like to carry the hopes of a nation. The boys are then joined by Dan Burn and Morgan Rogers, who reveal what life is really like inside England's camp. They discuss the unforgettable atmosphere inside the Azteca, what it's like waiting for your chance in tournament football, the incredible togetherness within the squad, and why every player—whether they start or come off the bench—has such an important role to play. The pair also lift the lid on life away from the pitch, from games of Traitors, golf and basketball to the debates and laughs that have helped make England's training base feel like a home away from home. There's plenty of classic TPCP nonsense too, as the production team set Pete, Sids and Tom a brutal all-you-can-eat sandwich buffet challenge, before another Paddy Power Predictions League update, plenty of laughs from inside England HQ, and an emotional farewell (for now) to Tom as he heads back to the UK after an unforgettable month on the road with the boys.

On this episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete joins the lads live from Mexico City after witnessing one of England's greatest ever World Cup victories, as Thomas Tuchel's side produce a heroic performance to beat hosts Mexico and book their place in the quarter-finals.

The boys break down England's unforgettable victory, discussing Jude Bellingham's world-class performance, Harry Kane's relentless brilliance in front of goal, Jordan Pickford's commanding display and Anthony Gordon's game-changing impact. They debate whether this was England's greatest tournament performance in years, why this result could define their World Cup campaign, and look ahead to a huge quarter-final clash with Norway.

On this episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Tom look back on England's dramatic 2-1 World Cup knockout victory as Harry Kane once again delivers when his country needs him most. The lads break down England's nervy start, debate the controversial penalty decision, and ask whether Thomas Tuchel's side are growing into the tournament or simply finding ways to get the job done. Pete explains why Kane's match-winning finish is the product of years of relentless practice, the boys discuss Anthony Gordon's game-changing impact from the bench, and look ahead to a huge clash with Mexico, where altitude, atmosphere and England's defensive vulnerabilities could all play a major role. There's also another World Cup quiz from Tom, the latest Paddy Power predictions league standings, a debate over whether David Beckham drinking red wine at a football match is the ultimate "Game's Gone" moment, and a listener's brilliant football-themed wedding XI that has the lads in stitches. Plus, Pete relives an exhausting trip to the batting cages in Los Angeles, the boys discuss whether England are becoming tournament specialists, and there's plenty of classic TPCP nonsense along the way.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Tom are joined by Republic of Ireland legend Robbie Keane for an unforgettable conversation covering one of football's greatest careers, life in America, and the magic of the World Cup. Robbie reflects on his incredible journey from Wolves to Coventry, Inter Milan, Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and LA Galaxy, revealing the lessons he learned from some of football's biggest names including David Beckham, Teddy Sheringham, Dimitar Berbatov and Luka Modrić. He explains why movement—not pace—made him one of the Premier League's deadliest strikers, shares the mentality that transformed LA Galaxy into champions, and reveals why Tottenham have struggled to build on their success despite winning the Europa League. The lads also dive into Robbie's unforgettable Republic of Ireland career, including his iconic last-minute World Cup goal against Germany, what it feels like to score on football's biggest stage, and why representing Ireland always meant more than anything else. Robbie also gives his verdict on the current World Cup, predicts the Golden Boot winner, explains why Lionel Messi still amazes him, and reveals which team he'd most like to play for in the tournament. Elsewhere, Pete, Sids and Tom discuss the drama of the knockout stages, the most chaotic penalty shootouts of the tournament so far, England's chances of lifting the trophy, and another round of the Paddy Power Big World Cup Fixture before Tom puts everyone to the test with another brilliantly ridiculous quiz.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Tom Fordyce and Sids react to England making it through the World Cup group stages and look ahead to the knockout rounds. The lads discuss where England sit among the tournament favourites, whether stronger opposition might actually suit them better, and why Marcus Rashford, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane could still have a major role to play as the tournament opens up. There is also plenty of classic nonsense along the way. Sids talks through his unexpectedly therapeutic trip to an LA laundrette, Tom reveals how he accidentally got into a swimming pool on a senior citizen discount, and the lads lose themselves in an obscure 90s footballer rabbit hole before attempting their best David Beckham eyebrow impressions. The boys are then joined by Aston Villa legend and former Colombia international Juan Pablo Ángel. Pablo reflects on arriving at Villa from River Plate, landing in England without speaking the language, being unveiled at Villa Park before the move was even fully signed, and adapting to the speed, pressure and culture of the Premier League. He also opens up on growing up in Medellín, learning football on the streets, the intensity of Boca Juniors vs River Plate, representing Colombia, scoring against Brazil and Argentina, and why MLS is far more competitive than many people realise. The lads also return for another round of Paddy Power Chaos Cards, reviewing the latest leaderboard after LeBron James' unlikely contribution, before making their predictions for the next round of World Cup action. With bonus points on the line and bragging rights at stake, there's no shortage of confidence, controversy and classic TPCP chaos.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Tom Fordyce and Steve Sidwell are properly into the 2026 World Cup as the tournament shifts into full gear across the United States. With England now two games into the group stage, the lads look back on the electric atmosphere in Dallas for the win over Croatia before reacting to a much more frustrating goalless draw against Ghana in Los Angeles. Sid and Tom relive what it was like inside one of the biggest stadiums in world football, from the sea of England fans and giant screens to tequila in the stands, while Pete gives his take on whether England’s flat second performance is actually the kind of experience tournament-winning sides need. There’s plenty of World Cup chat as the boys debate whether Thomas Tuchel’s England are showing real signs of becoming contenders, discuss why the draw with Ghana shouldn’t cause panic, and pick out the teams and players catching the eye so far. France, Argentina and the tournament’s biggest stars all come under the microscope, with Mbappé, Messi and Haaland setting the pace in what the lads call a proper “big dog World Cup”. There’s also a brilliant detour into one of the tournament’s strangest subplots: referees turning into full-blown content creators, complete with ref cams, names on shirts and one official pulling up with cramp after apparently overcommitting to the shot. As always, the football is only half the story. The lads get stuck into another chaotic World Cup quiz, somehow producing one of the worst quiz scorelines in podcast history, while Chris Stark checks in from an England watch-along back home to report from the pub gardens of Britain. There’s also a brilliant fan cameo from rising artist Moolah Jones, who nails her score prediction almost immediately, and another outrageous instalment of Paddy Power’s “Minister of Mischief” game, featuring celebrity bet-builder picks from Joe Marler, John Terry… and, somehow, a suspiciously available LeBron James. With England still well placed, more huge games on the horizon, and more guests lined up from the road, the boys reflect on the strange rhythms of tournament football, the joy of following England abroad, and why this World Cup is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining in years! 00:00 - Intro: formal names, “Big Sid” and school nicknames 02:14 - Sid’s Dallas trip and the incredible England atmosphere 03:21 - Are these the stadiums of the future? 04:34 - England’s draw with Ghana analysed 06:22 - Why the result doesn’t worry the lads 08:24 - Sid walks off to try and conjure an England goal 09:04 - Tequilas at the football and Crouchy’s Aston Villa story 10:36 - Ref cam chaos and the referee who got cramp 13:17 - Why this World Cup already feels different 13:44 - Cape Verde, underdog stories and the expanded tournament debate 17:43 - Who are the teams to beat?

Manchester United and England legend Rio Ferdinand joins the lads fresh from his DJ sets in the fan parks to share incredible stories from his playing days, including a surreal World Cup match against Brazil and an unforgettable moment at the hospital in South Africa that put his entire career into perspective! Rio opens up about his experiences at France 98 acting as Michael Owen's ultimate cheerleader, the tactical genius of Rivaldo, the heartbreak of missing out on the 2010 World Cup through injury, and his thoughts on Thomas Tuchel’s big squad selection decisions. The boys also react to the tournament's open nature and early surprises, debating whether the conditions and heat are going to play a massive factor for England. Plus, Chris Stark checks in all the way from London, capturing the fan atmosphere around Big Ben and finding out what the public really thinks Pete and Sids would be doing if they weren't footballers.

Pete, Tom and Sids are back in Los Angeles for another World Cup edition of That Peter Crouch Podcast — and they've got a very special guest. Premier League and Champions League legend Brad Friedel joins the lads fresh from the Bahamas to share incredible stories from his playing days, including an absolutely wild night at Galatasaray with Graham Souness that you simply won't believe! Brad opens up about his record-breaking consecutive appearances in the Premier League, his time at Aston Villa and Tottenham, his role as Sporting Director in Turkey, and what he's up to now — including living in the Bahamas and working in data analytics. The boys also react to Brazil vs Morocco, debating whether the Seleção are being overhyped and whether Morocco could genuinely go all the way. Plus Pete raises the important question of whether the VAR team standing to attention for the national anthem is commitment or just commitment to a bit. Then it's over to the Paddy Power Predictor as Pete, Tom and Sids make their calls for England vs Croatia — with Sids sitting pretty at the top of the leaderboard. Oh, and Graeme Souness is revealed to be the world's most unlikely vegan. You won't see that one coming.

On this special World Cup edition of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete and Sids are joined by returning host Tom Fordyce and Premier League legend Kasper Schmeichel from sunny Los Angeles as the tournament gets underway. The lads reflect on just how far the podcast has come, swapping memories of recording in less glamorous locations before finding themselves covering football from one of the biggest sporting events in the world. They dive into the incredible atmosphere surrounding the opening days of the World Cup, including Mexico's electric opening match, immersive fan experiences in LA, and the cultural differences between football coverage in Europe and America. Kasper opens up about his recent retirement from football, revealing the shoulder injury that ultimately forced his hand and sharing what life after football looks like. He reflects on his time at Celtic, the relentless pressure of playing for one of football's biggest clubs, and the unforgettable moments that came with lifting trophies in Glasgow. The conversation also turns to Leicester City's historic Premier League title triumph as Kasper relives the madness of the 5000-1 season, reveals the moment the squad truly believed they could win the league, and shares stories from the team's recent ten-year reunion. There's also plenty of World Cup chat as Kasper looks back on his experiences representing Denmark on football's biggest stage, discusses England's chances of finally ending their wait for major silverware, and explains why international tournaments remain unlike anything else in football. Plus, Chris Stark checks in from the Chumbawamba with Biffy Clyro's Simon Neil and Ben Johnston to discuss Scotland's World Cup hopes, Steve Clarke's impact on the national team, and whether the Tartan Army can dare to dream of a historic run.

On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids wrap up another chaotic Premier League season… but not before getting distracted by AI-generated football conspiracies, military dolphins, and Declan Rice answering a FaceTime call LIVE on the podcast the morning after his 5am title celebrations. The lads dive into Arsenal finally getting over the line after 22 years of waiting, with an emotional live chat from Declan Rice fresh off the back of the celebrations, plus debate whether guards of honour have officially become the most awkward tradition in football. There’s also discussion around Liverpool’s uncertain future, Mohamed Salah’s comments, Spurs surviving the drop, and the absolute madness surrounding Southampton’s playoff controversy. Elsewhere, the pod spirals beautifully into conversations about fake AI football news, Jose Mourinho rumours, and whether anyone can actually trust the internet anymore. Plus, the Football League season finally comes to an end as Sids is crowned champion… and receives one of the most outrageous prizes the podcast has ever seen. It’s the final Premier League episode of the season — and naturally, it completely loses the plot.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by one of England’s toughest ever players… Terry Butcher. From THAT iconic blood-soaked shirt to facing Diego Maradona at the height of his powers, Terry takes us right inside the chaos, passion, and brutality of football in the 80s and 90s. The lads dive deep into Italia 90, the legendary England dressing room, Gazza stories, Bobby Robson’s management style, and why Terry believes modern football has “gone soft”. There’s also incredible insight into what it actually felt like playing against Maradona during the infamous Hand of God match in 1986 — including what happened when Terry confronted him afterwards. Away from football, Terry opens up emotionally about his son Christopher, his battle with PTSD after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the powerful ITV documentary Invisible Wounds.
