That Peter Crouch Podcast

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Chris Stark opens up about his deeply personal and challenging experience—his recent battle with testicular cancer.

In an honest and emotional conversation, Chris shares how he discovered the diagnosis, the whirlwind of emotions that followed, and the treatment process, including surgery and chemotherapy.

The lads discuss the importance of early detection, the impact of health scares on mental resilience, and the role of humour in dealing with life’s toughest moments.

This episode is about more than just Chris’s journey; it’s a conversation about awareness, support, and the importance of looking out for yourself and those around you. A serious subject, tackled with the openness and camaraderie that defines this podcast.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dive headfirst into

the wild world of football’s finest personalities. From legendary road rage contenders to unexpected

musical performances, the boys leave no stone unturned.

Crouchy reminisces about the highs and lows of Cheltenham, while the gang debates who you’d

least want to encounter in a van showdown. Plus, there’s a surprise musical guest delivering a

London Marathon, while Pete shares an unexpected encounter from his own race experience. The

lads also react to an incredible story from a listener who ran 95 marathons in 61 days (yes, really!).

The conversation takes a turn as they discuss luck vs. talent in football—does being in the right

place at the right time matter more than skill? Crouchy reflects on the moments that made (and

nearly broke) his career, while Sids shares his experience at Arsenal, where he might have been at

the right club at the wrong time.

Elsewhere, they tackle live TV chaos (including Joe Hart’s accidental on-air blunder), Chris’s roast

dinner that led to an impromptu session on the pints, and the latest pod invention—an actual That

Peter Crouch Podcast board game! The concept? Stay out of the doghouse and survive the ultimate

pub crawl. Would you play it?

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dive

into one of football’s biggest challenges… longevity.

What does it take to keep playing at the highest level for years? Is it down to fitness,

mentality, or just plain luck? The lads break down the secrets behind long careers,

from training regimens to dressing room power struggles. 

They also reveal the telltale

signs that a player’s time is up, plus the legends who somehow defied the clock.

And of course, there are plenty of ridiculous stories along the way. If you think footballers have it easy, this one might change your mind.
