<p>On this week’s episode of <strong>That Peter Crouch Podcast</strong>, Pete, Sids, and Chris are joined by the one and only <strong>Marcus Mumford</strong> for a wide-ranging, hilarious, and surprisingly football-obsessed chat. From charity matches and penalty shootouts with <strong>José Mourinho</strong>, to growing up as a die-hard <strong>AFC Wimbledon</strong> fan, Marcus opens up on how deeply football is woven into his life and music.</p><br><p>The lads dive into unforgettable stories from the Grenfell charity match, playing alongside Premier League legends, and why grassroots football still hits harder than the modern game. Marcus also lifts the lid on life at the very top of music — from <strong>Glastonbury and Hyde Park</strong> to playing at the <strong>White House</strong>, meeting <strong>Barack Obama</strong>, and getting a no-nonsense songwriting pep talk from <strong>Noel Gallagher</strong>.</p><br><p>There’s chaos too, as Crouchy’s Spanish guitar challenge gathers pace, gigs are planned (and refused) around England kick-offs, and Marcus explains why hearing his music on <strong>Match of the Day</strong> was a bigger moment than almost anything else.</p><br><p>Music, football, side quests, and a proper debate about whether the game really <em>has</em> gone — this one has it all.</p><br><p>00:00 – Subscribe song, intro &amp; opening chaos</p><p>02:15 – Sid’s holiday, previous guests &amp; missing episodes</p><p>05:10 – Guitar chat, New Year resolutions &amp; festival fantasies</p><p>08:40 – Kasabian, Finsbury Park &amp; learning guitar late in life</p><p>11:55 – <strong>Marcus Mumford joins the podcast</strong></p><p>14:30 – Grenfell charity match &amp; scoring past José Mourinho</p><p>19:05 – Visiting Mourinho at home &amp; the “pantomime villain” role</p><p>23:10 – Playing with football legends</p><p>27:55 – New album <em>Prizefighter</em> &amp; why it’s his favourite record</p><p>32:40 – Hyde Park, Glastonbury &amp; refusing to gig during England games</p><p>37:10 – AFC Wimbledon, grassroots football &amp; fan ownership</p><p>41:45 – Football chants, Match of the Day &amp; music in stadiums</p><p>46:20 – Noel Gallagher’s brutal songwriting advice</p><p>50:05 – Touring chaos, Mexico gigs &amp; running into the sea mid-show</p><p>54:30 – “Games Gone”, VAR &amp; what football has lost</p><p>57:10 – Chris serenades <strong>Marcus Mumford as a farewell</strong></p><p>58:05 – <strong>Paddy Power segment</strong></p><p>01:02:40 – Listener messages</p><p>01:08:20 – Final thoughts, teasers &amp; episode wrap-up</p><br><p>This episode is sponsored by The AA, the UK’s No.1 breakdown provider.
