How Peter Crouch Became A Professional Footballer

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Well played on the weight loss Chris mate. You can legit tell. I'm a fat lad in denial, so well played.

[@liverpool1691]

Yeah you could tell a few months ago he was looking a bit on the tubby side. But he’s looking trim and healthy now fair play to him, looks good.

[@StephenLuckhurst]

Amazing podcast ! The chemistry between these 3 now is just brilliant!

[@Bobzini-q7s]

Alright Crouchy and Sids. Villa fan here. Sorry to hear you didn’t have a great experience at the club, for whatever reason. Long time ago now, but I think you were both well respected by the Villa fans for what you brought to the squad.

[@elliotpaveley3237]

Love the pod Crouchy but Chelsea are living rent free in your head 🤣

[@EHRetroKits]

Really enjoyed the point on FFP bringing back down player's value - never thought of it from that point of view.

[@raygrimes9203]

Seems a smart thing to do, no need for players over 40 to 50 million

[@kennyhutchinson1558]

😂 wow the song just made me spit out my Berocca epic pod as always boys

[@Karl0ss]

Pass the sausage...love you guys 😂

[@waynebeddall4054]

So what's with holding the sausage on the stick and no one mentioning it? Another random game 😂

[@craigconnell1216]

13mins in and im wondering the exact same thing 🤣

[@thatpetercrouchpodcast]

What sausage

[@ianmaggs619]

All that time Chris spent cooking it and they go and treat it like that!

[@declanshanahan3888]

@@thatpetercrouchpodcast exactly, no way that sausage has over 62% Pork. Looks like a sad Sausage

Debut Album coming soon 👀

[@lovelyjanuary]

The three song list at 48:42 is the instant “oh we are DEFINITELY all the same age” moment when I think back to my 6th and 7th grade middle school “dances” with equal awkward hilarious confusion at the whole Titanic movie theme being apparently THE “slow dance” song for 12 year olds around the world then lol!!!!!!! (But it was the LeeAnn Rimes “How Do I Live” throwback that got me because I think I listened to that song more times than is humanly possible when it was EVERYWHERE in 1997 and now it’s stuck in my head again for the foreseeable future, so thanks for that! 😂☠️)

[@Justinclewes]

The decades have made the slow dance banished to the history books but some , things always come back around so maybe one day the slow dance may come back .

[@sambrooks6103]

My slowdance at school was S Club 7 - Never had a dream come true. 😂

[@Conor-jo7gm]

John Motson is a great example of voices more famous than his image, when you hear a voice for 15/20 years and imagine a face to the voice but are a million miles off! Did he also read out the results maybe on the bbc? I was very young at the time but I can always remember his voice “chelsea 2 - Newcastle United 0” example

[@joemyatt4067]

PGL shout out! I work there. It' sadly stands for "Peter Gordon Lawrence" but we still get teachers and some kids saying it stands for "Parent's Get Lost"

No mention of that "won nothing" club Twatford this week. Good stuff. COYH

[@michaelhxhdhdjdj]

This was so interesting! I was CRYING out for this type of stuff as a kid and it shows the difference between like parents who allow and push a bit toward something. Gna be a long story but in primary school i learnt chess at like age 9, in year 6 there was a school wide chess competition, i won easily (final was during assembly😂, not every kid watching just on the stage in the background untill the winner). I got into tennis around the same time, never had a lesson and before youtube but i was always the best or VERY close games with mates in secondry school. I would just hit a ball against my next door neighbours fence from forehand too backhand all the time when i was bored or my parents were arguing. Just go by myself and play games in my own head. Never had a lesson but i watched tennis so intently too try too learn and take that into the next time i played at the courts and i always won. Not great but even poker haha🙈.. i learned how too play poker when i was 12 and we used too empty my mates dads giant coca cola bottle copper jar and dish out the money and play poker for hours. I was really good! Too the point at 16 when we would have poker nights with 10 of the lads. Me and the other good player had a deal that we go halves on the winnings. We try not too go h2h with each orher and 90% of the time i left £30 up! Even fifa! I was always the hest at it, my brother is 8 years older and id best him and all his friends, all my friends. People wouldnt play me if everyone was sat around doing winner stays on. I always played footy for hours on end, calling for all our matesevery day playing 2/3 hours) Its actually the 1 thing i was REALLY good at and had that attitude for but realistically as a CB i was just good for my age and was aggressive and loved it even as a kid winning headers and tackles/blocks. But i had mates who we played with who were so talented and they didnt make it so maybe not footy i dont think. But i learned and loved all these things so early on and was REALLY good at all of them, tennis there was 1 other lad who give me very close games otherwise i would beat everyone. I now am 33 havnt played tennis in years. Ah i forgot snooker was another thing i got really good at around 17-21 year old but my highest break is 54 i was never in danger of turning pro lol but i was good and we would play from 4pm-9pm CONSTANTLY! Again just feels gross typing all of this but if i had a parent or someone too push me towards something i swear i was CRYING out for it! I loved poker, tennis, football, chess. If i just had some guidance rather than being scattered all over the place. Even as a kid i was really competative but with myself! I would spend hours on the fence doing forehand and backhands trying too beat my own records. Hearing sids story nd what i already know. I had amazing fucking parents but if i focused on even 2 or 3 of them things i really think i could have exelled. I didnt even play for a teamcat footy and with 12 of us when u pick teams i was picked ahead of the lad who played for darlo u16s 😂 or second. But i just never went for a team even sunday league. Got offered just never did it. Played with mates only in 6 a side at best, in a southlands league tht i then got offers too come too oppositions sunday league and i didnt 🙈.. im happy and have a good life btw!!😂 and a great family and parents they loved me so much i had an AMAZING childhood and good life now too im not complaining lol. Im 32 and doing ok. But there is that part of me that even in jobs, im the best at the job. Ive been lucky too have great teachers when i start a job. But if it takes 11 minutes too make a mix ill get ahead of it and have everything weighed out and ready too put in and do it in 3 minutes then prepare for the next one.. or if its a 8 hour machine change and clean scheduled i will learn and fogure out how too do it in 3 hours then we can chillout for the other 5 hours and have long breaks and relax. I just think if things had been different i would love too even see a universe that i just had that unph too stick too things or push. I know i could have excelled. This is the most ive talked about myself EVER but i swear put sids or crouchy in my life they wouldnt have ended up as premier league players! Family and parents play such a huge part in pushing kids too not just go from being a 9 year old winning a 100 kid chess tornament (push them a bit towards chess)? Tennis with no lessons i had a serve that was unreal. But obv was different then too i dont even know if ky parents knew i played chess or poker they worked nightshifts dayshits, lollypop lady😂 different times.. But sids u had amazing parents and im glad it worked out for u and them ur a top lad who worked fuckinf hard! And breaks the footy player sterio type which some ppl just have natural talent and are NOBHEADS. ❤

Never watch the pod, usually listen and then all I could watch was this sausage being passed between Chris and Crouchy for the first 20 mins

Steve Sidwall and the illusive sausage episode

[@Justinclewes]

I've done that when I was at school. Instead of doing my maths homework at home I would do it at the end of the class while the teacher was reading it out so I didn't have to do it at home then when I've finished it my friend's on my table would quickly copy it.

[@RossMartin-h5d]

I haven't played for 20 years because of ex but i did 96 at east church in 2019

BBQC holding his sausage and dipping his sausage in the mustard is this why sausage sidwell don’t hold it ? Why did crouchy not take a bite …. Why did Steve not pick it up ? Why did no one laugh ?

Chris' views on FFP really outing him as a communist. Might as well call him Karl Starkx.

[@jamesburke2094]

You ok dear? Club bought or established by owner, he then appoints all manner of random mor ons, thugs; they deploy non scientific methods for contracting playing squad.... That's how Carlton Palmer got in the game and wrecked his teams' chances, and how JT allowed helder postiga to score. Repeat back so we know you understand ...

[@Conor-jo7gm]

I think he must support your rival, he obviously doesn’t need the money from success so just run the team into the ground however “morons” and “thugs” how do you know they are thugs have they bullied you or something? And I think JT made the mistake? I might be wrong, maybe he was concentrating on wayne bridges wife? Just curious of that specific opinion
