What does a football captain actually do? | That Peter Crouch Podcast

[@joshleach4651]

Could you imagine Roy Keane sorting out tickets 😂😂😂😂

[@YUnitedFootball]

That's the first person I was thinking of when he mentioned the captain organizing the tickets

[@mikehunt7810]

Lee Cattermole and Joey Barton would also be interesting

[@greggcayman5031]

"Can I swap my Watford tickets for a liverpool ticket, Keano." "Are you mad?!? You think you'll be playing against Liverpool?? After the performance you put in last week, you should be grateful you're getting Watford tickets. Trust me, you don't need a liverpool ticket, we don't want you friends seeing what a dropkick you are, plus you might spend all game on the bench." - Keane

[@braindonor8753]

He has talked about it before. Said he had to stop providing as was affecting his game. Running round trying to sort tickets for relatives etc then getting shit when there wasn’t enough.

[@TheKonsy]

@@greggcayman5031 hahha dropkick. I read that in his voice. Bravo

I can't stop laughing at crouchy not realising how weird this all is.

[@darrylkemp3253]

@Name Name yeah I get that haha

[@jamiegreyy]

A team Captain enforcing team discipline on and off the pitch really isn't that weird though.

[@jellyman123able]

I feel like Chris Stark is 100% a wkd man but felt insecure so went with Guinness

[@RB-NZ2]

Spot on

[@junbinlee0424]

He drank guiness in other pods when others didn't so I don't think so

[@mani_supersingh]

Peter's actually the real life version of Neil from inbetweeners😂

[@mnb9162]

The Beckham Neville thing is hilarious. Almost like a family relationship. I remember something about how Beckham used to go over and stay at Garys for weeks around the time of that World cup where Beckham got sent off. I think Its like a comfort zone to retreat to for him where he trusts it. Cause if your Beckham going around the World, Hollywood stuff, you probably dont trust a lot of people.

[@mediacenterman8583]

G Nev was his best man when he married 'Posh'

[@MrDohers]

"Gary Neville was fantastic at arguing" - hardly surprising, but still, lol.

[@celtic69]

Basically the captain is the manger of the social side of the team

[@ColossalHAZE]

We love you Crouchie!

Peter is absolutely brilliant ! He needs to be on sky sports more often or even a presenter

What they fail to understand is that leadership is service. Captains are willing to do anything for the team. Nothing is beneath them if it’s in service to the club. When a person above you in the pecking order is willing to go the extra mile for the little things it leaves you with no excuse to not give your all.

[@davidtogi5878]

Then what is the difference with a servant?

[@sheik3648]

Even as a Man Utd fan, I can see what kind of down to earth and genuine person Peter Crouch is... so nice listening to him talking...

[@nitraiders117]

You're telling me this podcast is also video recorded?! Aight, time to binge watch it all.

[@Alexis-hx3yd]

Completely eye opening, unbelievable stuff

[@grantbarratt1058]

This is SO good!

[@Ottawa3453]

Assistant Captain or Assistant to the Captain - Brilliant! :D

[@andyhartley3828]

This is gold 👍

[@ZeroTheHeroGOAT]

HAHAHA! I laughed a lot in this one, thanks Crouch & co. I needed a laugh today!

[@berekethaile8420]

I used to like Crouch for his awkward style of play, now I love him as pundit. He is full of fun

[@derekrushe]

# of the best pints i've seen in a long time (been living in Malaysia so a good pint o" stout is a rare thing)

[@user-hn4sp2vn4d]

Should put the full podcast on KZbin

[@jw652002]

This is funnier than any stand up comedy routine 😂😂😂😂

[@Dan-tr5kw]

I love how casually Crouch talks about behind the scenes of football and everyone else is like what the fuck 😂

[@nr126]

This pod way better when visualized

[@videos4you289]

How id love to spend 20 mins with crouchy 👏🏽 seems like an absolute amazing guy

[@thunderfieldcastle]

Videos4 You yes, the same thought always occurs to me whenever I hear him speak, although until now I didn’t know he had a podcast!

[@oldpajamajones7218]

He always strikes me as a particularly open sort of person, and an intelligent one (I don’t mean only compared to other footballers) who can hold an interesting/entertaining conversation with pretty much anyone.

[@rscoops3986]

@Josh Cuthbert I'm cringing reading your joke pal, so lame.

[@Tricky181]

100% true about the tickets, absolutely spot on. Seen it my self

[@TheMusicfan189]

The best podcast ever. So so funny.

[@itstoast9028]

I got the bandage yesterday and will be playing my first game as captain tomorrow. Have never been more nervous.

[@gordonmillsjr.1957]

Gotta love Crouchy - he seems like such a genuine bloke... cuts through all the bollocks.

[@stevenlokihowell]

So Good. Love This.

[@memyselfandi2506]

I was expecting him at some point to shout “LEAVE IT OUT BOYS,ticket allocation??? I WAS PULLING YOUR LEG”

[@trillywinkledinkle4323]

There's a reason why crouchy is so popular.....proper down to earth lad

[@jayaz9113]

Let Crouchie speak !

[@samallardyce2522]

being professional & discipline is very important to success

[@hoi-polloi]

Crouchie to two dorks: "Do you not know this stuff ?"

Surprised they dont know about the fines book and court, pretty common practice in most sports teams

10% of 50 grand lol. Love crouchy, hes headed one too many balls that lad

[@fabioa8602]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@adriandoc75]

crouch is an upsidedown guinness

[@Ottawa3453]

Back Stronger!

[@McNab1986]

So not only did Beckham and Neville have a natural understanding of each other on the pitch, which is still rarely seen nowadays, especially at United, it was off the field in dealing with things as well. Amazing podcast, that was insanely interesting to listen to

[@craigelliott4338]

I saw crouchie on a clip the other day and he mentioned this podcast, and that it was part of the reason he retired. Now I've seen it, I'm glad it's good because football lost a bloody good striker!

[@tomjacobs1992]

Anyone know what microphones they are using?

[@stevemahony9454]

Thanks for the tickets you got me an Steven Potter for a cup game, QPR vs Cardiff , we had a great night. Long time ago

[@KnightJPB]

They are the club captain, rightly so they have a bit of responsibility off the pitch as well. These two not getting it boggles my mind

[@giangarciamusic]

lol I love his mic

[@matthewimhardbrucelee6995]

It’s mental how the same thing happens at lower league (bar the tickets) captain does all that stuff at semi pro level as well 😂😂

[@rea9473]

1:54 "do you not know this stuff?" of course we don't fam 😂😂😂😂. How would he? Just because every man and his dog claims to know someone who played in the prem doesn't mean it's true

[@luluscardiaries7153]

Crouchy, what a lad!

[@Flushdrawsuited]

let the man finish talking ffs! How do you expect to understand what discipline is if you constantly intervene in the middle of a sentence!

[@statesecretmusic]

They should be fined for that

[@seangreen8023]

Dirty Jerz 10 years hard labour 💀

[@bundess5473]

[@kevin5073]

The podcast is growing on me.

[@SgtSayWhat]

My local Sunday league team has a fine system exactly like the one crouch is on about

[@tsartor1]

Watching Crouchy stop himself from falling off his chair was weird.

[@bigman25plus25]

such long arms....

[@michaelplausin447]

Would love a pint with crouch lol

[@Timg1231]

In US sports the clubhouse manager or the kit man would be in charge of handing out tickets not a player. Such a weird notion to think of pro players doing this in football. Even university athletes have other people do this for them. I’d pay serious money to see Lebron doing this.

[@Adz_Win]

Same as what micah Richard's said on another podcast in KZbin

[@godfrey3926]

@Wayne Rooney..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, I know everyone would be listening and paying attention....

[@Zeldasarmy]

I was stood behind Crouch at a small music festival on the docks in Liverpool a couple of years ago. I couldn't see a thing 😅

[@SydPeppa]

6:16 Interesting 🤔🤔

[@damianiking1425]

With all due respect to Tom and Chris.. Is it possible for these lads to please just let Peter Crouch finish his fascinating insights before asking the next question. Its very hard and annoying to listen Crouch when they keep on interrupting midway.

[@benjaminrooker5793]

It's part of the show. Tom & Chris are great at getting a good story out of Crouch.

[@azoth4911]

Crouchy is a top bloke,I always liked the guy,but he went up in my estimation again,as did the boy's drinking an ol pint of plain,Robby Keane really must of shown him the time he described in Dublin as one of the best holidays,I thought he just said it to be nice,but no,Crouchy took to the Guinness.

[@harryg9198]

why don't you post the whole pod on youtube?

[@overthewebb]

Or at least post the whole videos on BBCiPlayer

[@overthewebb]

@@drfcmike7023 We're talking about with the video. Not the audio. I listen to the podcast every week through Acast, but I would prefer to watch it like this with video if I could in full on KZbin or BBCiplayer. Rather than just having to watch clips with video, when they clearly filmed the whole show. So why not show the whole show with video?

[@markcady6882]

Brilliant insights, hilarious too, you boys are chaos

[@jamesfield1674]

Do they have to sort out the swear jar as well, imagine Keane doing that

[@mickcardiff3044]

[@anonymousbroccolli6197]

Ayyyyyyy

[@chrisprobert5340]

If I was the captain of a football team I'd tell everyone they weren't getting any tickets and flog them on Ebay and in the pub...

[@holyjebus]

We need stevie g to confirm this

[@Doire1992]

Crazy to believe that modern day football is like this but I suppose at the end of the day, it teaches the modern day footballers about respect and that there's still old school system and Tradition in the game and that they're not just getting paid £60,000+ every week just for kicking a ball around!

The only interesting part of this is when Crouch is talking.

[@seanb7542]

Bit harsh on Tom Fordyce, although they could replace Chris Stark with cardboard cut out and no one would notice.

[@harrykerr6114]

@Y K do you just want crouch to sit and talk to himself then?

[@harrykerr6114]

@Y K it’s not meant to be an interview where they ask questions and wait for Crouch to answer. It’s a podcast that meant to be a discussion that they contribute to and I think they do so well. You might think they react too quickly but them stopping him to say “really?” when being told captains hand out the tickets then instigated a better conversation because crouch now knows that people didn’t know that was a thing. It wouldn’t be nearly as fun to listen to if it was just crouch answering single questions the whole time.

[@pillarsofdoom4891]

Beckham is a legend

[@JimmyRoche420]

Only started listening to podcast on Spotify a few weeks ago n got bored of listening to just footy all the time so came across Crouch Podcast. Great it is I'm listening from episode 1 to the newest one. Very funny. Better than just listening about club you don't follow. So ya very good.

[@declanbroadfoot4644]

Not meant to sip Guinness hahaha

[@ABEden-]

Can crouchy confirm if Antonio Conte wanted to sign him at Chelsea in 2018?

[@dannymorrison9796]

Could u think shearer sorting tickets haha

[@H-When]

This is some information

[@georgebryant7721]

Neville looks like Gareth hahaha

[@terencej72]

I don't understand why Chris doesn't get why the Captain hands out tickets. in Theory the Captain is the senior or most respected player, if you say left this to the kit man to be honest most players take the piss out the kitman and he won't get the respect of the players, that's to say nothing of some other guy in a suit. It needs to be the Captain because he's capable of taking no nonsense from players. Personally i'd just tell guys in advance "Look the ONLY time you'll be able to get extra tickets is if we're playing in or near your hometown and your family if coming to visit, then it's up to YOU to make arrangements with one of the other lads for 1 or both of their tickets and sort it yourself"

[@joewicks8169]

is this filmed in watford?
