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.
Stick around to hear some top-class football nostalgia, locker room laughs, and the kind of heartfelt real talk that this podcast delivers best.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris Stark, and Steve Sidwell reunite to discuss the state of modern football—and it’s safe to say, the game has well and truly gone. From nostalgic takes on goal celebrations to fuming over financial fair play, the lads aren’t holding back.
Chris discusses his injury from a rogue five-year-old’s high five, Steve shares his story about proposing again on his 20th wedding anniversary, and Crouchy flexes his new golf trophy win, sparking a movement to secure him VIP parking across the UK.
But it’s the main debate that steals the show—“has football officially lost the plot?” The team deep dive into everything that grinds their gears about the modern game: players filming with phones on the pitch, soulless shirt sponsors, managers refusing to adapt tactics, and the death of spontaneity in football moments thanks to VAR.
Plus, we use AI to generate Sids a FAKE girlfriend in the Chumbawumbar… trust us, this one's a belter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Crouchy reminisces about intense training sessions in Swiss mountains, awkward dressing room introductions after summer transfers, and the chaos of sneaking out for that cheeky “lads trip” before your partner notices.
Sids reveals the behind-the-scenes stress of holiday planning as a footballer, including dodging club fines, wild weddings in June, and dealing with furious managers missing out on top-ten bonuses.
There’s barbecue chat, dodgy decking drama, “Big Brother” moments via home surveillance, and even a hysterical pitch for the next podcast-branded spirit: Bonfire Spiced Rum.
From backyard grill battles to full-blown football psychology and summer transfers, this episode is your perfect companion for pre-season nostalgia and post-season relief.

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.

Fresh from running 26.2 miles, Sids brings medal-in-hand reflections on the sheer madness and magic of the marathon, with touching shout-outs from fans, and revisiting the surprise phone call from John Terry during the recent live stream where he revealed his own nipple struggles mid-run.
The lads also reflect on their first-ever livestream watchalong (think Gogglebox meets CrouchFest) and dream up where it could go next — Boxpark half-time shows, anyone?
Elsewhere, they dive into Liverpool's dominant win, the TNT “False Two” launch, and Klopp's potential return. There's also talk about Cheavon Clarke’s recent trolling of Spurs in their own stadium, thunderous nicknames at Leeds, and the most iconic stadium shouts in the UK.
It’s football analysis, marathon madness, and complete nonsense… all in a day’s pod.

With firsthand stories from their own careers, including Crouchy’s brief stint at Norwich, to Sid’s heartbreak at Brighton, they discuss how the psychological rollercoaster of the Play-Offs impacts clubs, fans, and players alike.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids dive in with some pre-marathon chat, as Sids gears up for the London Marathon with a torn calf and a point to prove. The lads rally behind him and address what turned out to be a not-so-accurate slogan—‘Quid for Sids’ (actually a fiver).
They unpack this week’s outrageous Premier League predictions, the form of teams like Liverpool and Arsenal, and what’s going on at Chelsea and Spurs. Plus, wild tangents ensue—from Jamie Vardy memes, to middle-seat van etiquette, to a riotous reinvention of football jargon with concepts like ‘false one’ and ‘fraudulent five’.
It’s classic chaos, with hot takes on Harry Maguire up front, Rimmel London’s football insight (kind of), and just enough stats to keep it somewhat legit.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, something totally unexpected happens—Ashley Cole drops in for an impromptu visit while out in Portugal with Crouchy, catching the lads completely off guard!
With Chris still away and sunning himself on a well-earned holiday, and Sids dialing in from the Chumbawum-bar, this one turns into an unplanned but surprisingly insightful deep dive.
Ashley shares his behind-the-scenes coaching insight from his time with England's U21s, analysing the most exciting young players in English football right now—including Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, and Morgan Gibbs-White—explaining what separates arrogance from confidence in the next generation.
The group also debates whether the Championship-to-Prem gap is now impossible to cross, and whether the so-called ‘mid-table’ teams are actually leveling up faster than you think…
Oh, and it wouldn’t be a classic Pod without a bit of chaos: limbs chat, golf games, and an eBay XI that nobody asked for featuring David “Buy Now” and Erik Ten Haggle.
As ever, absolutely no structure, but loads of laughs.
