EP. 326 | BONUS: Harry Redknapp Reveals the Biggest PROBLEM in Modern Football - Brought To You By Courvoisier Jun 09, 2025

Show notes

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! Please drink responsibly.

EP. 325 | These HILARIOUS Footballer Adverts Will Leave You Speechless… Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

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.

EP. 320 | Will a Spurs Trophy Mean a BETTER Season Than Arsenal? May 16, 2025

Show notes

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads go into one of the juiciest debates of the season — if Spurs win the Europa League… have they had a BETTER season than Arsenal?

Pete, Sids and Chris weigh up silverware vs second place, and whether finishing runners-up in the league without a trophy holds a candle to lifting something in Europe — even if it comes with a 17th place finish. The Arsenal-Spurs dynamic is shifting, and the boys aren’t sitting on the fence.

Away from the football, there’s plenty of nonsense… we get stories of seagull muggings in Cornwall, monkeys raiding hotel fridges, and Chris’ recent dolphin safari. Plus, one listener’s mum is not letting him attend Spurs’ potential big night, and the pod receives its first ever official fishmonger application.

To top it all off, there's a very serious warning: never go full ‘Rod’ unless you’re medically cleared.

They also spotlight a football league where weight loss adds goals, discuss the tragicomic reality of football freestyle stars not making it pro, and weigh in on Arsenal’s growing rep for “Spursiness.” There’s a heartfelt moment too, as a listener shares how Chris’s cancer story helped during his own diagnosis—reminding everyone to check their balls.
