That Peter Crouch Podcast

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris open the floodgates on everything that makes fans mutter those three sacred words… “the game’s gone.” From goalkeepers stubbornly playing out from the back to laser shows, forced atmospheres, half-and-half scarves and walking around the club badge, nothing is off limits.The lads debate whether modern football presentation has gone too far, question where respect actually begins and ends, and ask if tradition is slowly being replaced by gimmicks. There’s also a passionate rant about why Transfer Deadline Day has lost its magic, why phones on the pitch should be banned, and whether celebrating against your old club is actually disrespectful.So… what do you think belongs on the “Game’s Gone” board?

From the raw emotion on the pitch to the scenes in the dressing room afterwards, this is the full, unfiltered story of football’s most dramatic title finish.The lads also dig into the surreal aftermath — celebrating while Manchester United were hosting their own awards night, the media madness that followed, and how that single moment reshaped Manchester City forever.ChumbawambaFor more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris dive headfirst into one of football’s most nostalgic — and surprisingly controversial — topics: kits. From childhood shirt disasters and knock-off classics to the shirts that made entire generations fall in love with the game, the lads break down what makes a kit truly iconic.Crouchy shares first-hand memories of his earliest football strips (including one that didn’t survive warm-ups), while the boys debate whether people genuinely look better in football shirts, which kits should never make a comeback, and where wearing a jersey in public officially becomes unacceptable behaviour.There’s also chat about vintage gold, England shirts in everyday life, the unspoken rules footballers live by, and a reminder that some fashion trends really were best left in the past. Plus, a detour into Mila Kunis, Watford shirts, and why manifesting football dreams might actually work…Let us know in the comments: What’s the greatest football kit of all time — and would you wear it on a night out?00:00 – Subscribe plea and opening chaos01:10 – Birthday chat and unexpected messages03:05 – “HBD” texts and why the game’s gone04:00 – Another Watford manager sacked05:00 – Could the podcast actually manage Watford?06:30 – Training with Macclesfield and FA Cup buzz07:55 – Sponsoring walk-out jackets on live TV09:10 – The Mila Kunis interview resurfaces10:40 – Giving Ashton Kutcher a Watford shirt12:50 – Are people hotter in football kits?16:00 – First ever football kits (and ruining them)18:45 – Knock-off shirts and iron-on badges21:30 – Being “given” better kits as a kid24:00 – Arsenal schoolboy days and iconic kits26:10 – Chelsea kits everyone wanted28:30 – The worst kits of the 90s31:00 – Wearing football shirts on a night out33:20 – Vintage kits as fashion statements35:45 – Iconic England kits and forgotten classics38:10 – Can footballers wear kits casually?41:00 – Penalty heartbreak memories and iconic shirts44:10 – Legendary teams making kits iconic47:00 – Should England ever have a shirt sponsor?50:00 – Injury-time chaos and modern football debates53:30 – Extra time, late goals and “Fergie time”56:30 – Weekend results and prediction league drama59:30 – Messages and closing banterThis episode is sponsored by The AA, the UK’s No.1 breakdown provider.
