Marc White aka Mr Dorking x That Peter Crouch Podcast

This week, Crouchy, Chris and Sids sit down with Dorking Wanderers manager and the viral sensation that is Marc White!
Marc lifts the lid on his humble, grassroots beginnings and the issues he faced when he decided to take on the role of manager after a rather boozy conversation down the pub.
We hear about Dorking’s meteoric rise from the lowest league of non-league football to the top of the non-league pyramid after receiving promotions every 2 years!
As is expected on That Peter Crouch Podcast, referees also come under the firing line with some constructive criticism heading their way.
So, if you are looking for any tips on how to get your local Sunday league team to the top tiers of English football then look no further than That Peter Crouch Podcast!

Sidders straight from sweeping a chimney stack

[@baztroop3170]

one of my favourite podcast episodes...marc white is an absolute ledge! So down to earth and real

[@BS-bx6ou]

Agreed bro he's class Love the guy Hilarious and passionate Great manager

[@cheesybellend6842]

Agreed , the working class man for a working class pod , Elton can shift it

[@robbo512]

@@cheesybellend6842 yes the working class pod hosted by a few multi-millionaires, usually joined by other multi-millionaires each episode.

[@LukeBalshaw]

Why am I so invested in this man! 😅 , what an awesome personality loving his work with Dorking 👏🏼👏🏼

[@NorCalPhil]

Marc is an absolute legend. Bunch of Amateurs does an amazing job documenting the team and is worth checking out.

[@FelixGallardo1946]

Marc White - One of the best characters in Football. Legend

[@leefrancis5732]

‘Shin pads at 5-a-side’ is the perfect way to describe that Chris. It encapsulates his “personality” perfectly.

[@grahamgibbins8071]

He's a watford fan.... I'd expect nothing less.

[@Do27gg]

This man is doing what we do on FM but in real life, legend

[@scottjones9998]

great guest guys! proper people who love football chatting about football. like being in the pub with the lads. keep it up 👏

[@cheesybellend6842]

100%

[@felicitybolt7607]

Great guest, reminder of how fun football can be

[@stephenmcewan9995]

Love this guy. No airs and graces and all done with respect. Keep it up

[@rschrader]

Great episode lads. Would be good to bring Marc on the pod at least once a year for up updates.

[@craigo55555]

Sids creasing any time Marc speaks 😂😂😂 had me in bits. Best episode to date

[@aarong5115]

your best pod yet marc is a proper football character , loving BOA on youtube if your not watching go back to the start and enjoy .

[@karlportsmouth5571]

When the BBC have their "SPOTY" awards show,surely Mark must figure,he is a personality with genuine character

[@mrmrmarcus6969]

Who takes the BBC seriously?

[@nessyafc87]

Followed Dorking for about 3/4 years now after being at their stadium opening. Then continued to follow them on Bunch of amateurs, what a journey and legend Marc is 😎

[@pedrobandino5391]

Great Chat, achieved so much, lets hope they keep going up the leagues

[@letswetaline]

The best one you have done yet, Very much enjoyed this.

[@VivaLaShed]

20:55 - 27:12 is the brewdog bit so you can skip it

[@jackisback289]

7 minute ad wtf 🤣

[@voetbal12]

Never buying Brewdog for that.

[@familydinner1]

I love Marc White so much. Great podcast!

[@ClarkyUKMIA]

Some guest this fellas. Love Marc and the Dorking story, absolutely class

[@CrankItDownTV]

Brilliant. Great pod!

[@meatballg8655]

This guy is a legitimate dude. He manages the side still even though he had zero footballing credentials other than thinking he could just do it better than the pricks running Wimbledon and brought the whole team up to the 5th division with very little. And he is real when he says he didn’t lose the identity of a small time sunday league club because he still organises nights out for the lads and the whole team has a big drinking culture that you’d see in small clubs in all sports. He keeps it so real

[@jackbailley]

What a brilliant episode

[@johnbarnes6152]

Brilliant pod cast one of the funniest and open and honest guests ever

[@uller117]

love this man, was introed to him as bit of joke but he has some great points and is on the level, watched all the BOA stuff great content.

Brilliant podcast that.

[@TheBeastwarz]

Really quick hour, what a guy.

[@gavhind7061]

Great guy

[@Simon-ku7ky]

we have a great chant at pompey this year for our new 19 year old australian striker, kusini yengi, to the tune of Gimme Gimme Gimme by ABBA: Yengi Yengi Yengi, our man from down under, scores goals for Pompey and he shags kangaroos! No idea where it came from, but it's brilliant.

[@connagh11]

I like this fella he seems sound and a great laugh love to have a bevy with him 🍻

Marc White absolute legend, keep going as you are Dorking Wanderers from a Chesterfield fan

[@joewood9943]

What a man!

[@MKWhatIDid]

Unreal. You lot rub shoulders with some of the best but I promise you every person here is new and for Marc. Loved this podcast! New sub!

[@TracksidePodF1]

Did the double on Dorking this season! 😉 #COYC ♦️

good man hates brewdog

He's probably driving after it tbf

[@user-yx2dt1yd6q]

Never been a fan of this guy, seeing all the social media clips, etc... BUT I WAS WRONG. Genuine football guy .

[@matthewemery6670]

what a guy, that'll be the next ground I visit!

[@aknow3006]

What a lad

[@zz10arf]

One of the best episodes. Was always going to be. Mark's spot on with the refs, remove half the rules. Waste of time. More subjective less objective.

[@chrismiller6317]

I remember it happened at Highbury when we played Liverpool,linesman got injured and they asked over the tannoy if there was a qualified linesman in the crowd,someone stepped up and it was none than the late great Jimmy Hill

[@grahamgibbins8071]

It happened at Pompey earlier this season. Except the Ref got injured, then the 4th official who had to run the line ,he got injured aswell so gentleman from the ground had to run the line most of 2nf half. Funniest part was he obviously never had his boots with him so he was wearing a pair of pink Nike boots he must have borrowed off one the players.

[@daverich2534]

love marc , being local to Dorking and a Palace fan im seriously thinking about changing my allegiance

[@Sandylaner63]

He,s right as an away fan ,we were made to feel more than welcome at Dorking , similarly at Dagenham and Redbridge . Couldn't say the same for Bromley and Kidderminster the miserable gets it just makes you think twice about going if they make it so difficult when you get there ,,,many clubs throw out the " it's all about the fans cliche " but don't demonstrate that in real time ...Mark seems like a genuine bloke

[@Sandylaner63]

Marc ,,pesky auto correct

[@MOSloan]

great episode and conversation! what was the gorilla tape on the table for?

[@Eeeeeeeeeee12345]

he will have a Blue Peter badge before manager badge 😂 class he is

I swear it looks like crouchy has had a face-lift or something here, looking fresh 😂❤

Bunch of Amateurs youotube channel and watch Dorking uncovered. This is the reason Marc is famous................

[@chrismiller6317]

Brilliant Lads Mark a proper football fan,pissing on the establishment ❤️😂👏👍💥

[@Dlovellpf]

And, ironically, I’ve bought fewer brewdog beers since hearing the guy drone on about them.

[@QueerChica]

The barman that appears on the show is from Northern Ireland...

[@Dlovellpf]

@@QueerChica ah okay… he’s still a boring tw*t. Ive edited it for you 😂🤦🏻‍♂️😘

[@Besty019]

Remember at the start of this season, if you time wasted or kick the ball away you'd get an instant yellow. The 3rd man that runs to the referee they'd get a yellow, that lasted 2 weeks

[@k_7817]

fucking class Marc is

4th officials are the ones who create tension between the 2 benches

Is the gaffa tape a new sort of prop? What next? Couple of betting shop pens and some folded up lottery tickets!!?

LFG Marc White love Dorking

[@kevinkyle945]

Great bloke doesn’t give a bollox what people think whilst others just follow the crowd

[@tyke-sl8bs]

Best podcast yet this one

[@QueerChica]

A lot of us Chelsea fans don't like Ange either, Chris... We have a massive rivalry with Sp*rs too. Doing them 4-1 with that high line and them going down to nine was beautiful 💙🤍 #KTBFFH x

Marc White is pure box office

[@Dionysos640]

One thing I knew, when this started and they dished out the pints is that Marc's would remain untouched. He likes a drink but not when he's working.

[@rodemadoli]

would love to of played for this bloke ...so engaging honest brutal funny and fair

[@foodiebreeze3299]

Funny man.

[@deeppocketsshortarms2830]

If they actually looked into the linesman story they would know it was a a referree in the crowd at a low league level who came on to run the line.

[@anthonylong9067]

Sidwell looks like he joined the podcast by order of the Peaky Blinders

[@cripplesunday1]

You guys even stole the same thumbnail back drop from undr the cosh. Class that.

[@mrgatenby]

34:10. Interesting, now they've been relegated

[@davidmiddleton6479]

As an official I always start the game letting coaches and players I may boff a call. I’ll say it and move on. Like players and managers we screw up. Too much pressures on league officials. Terrified to screw a call. Idgaf. I may miss one or five, shite happens.

I’d love to ref one of marks game. He’d like my style

7 minute advert. The worst ad break on any podcast worldwide. Hope the money is worth it because it’s absolutely shocking

[@TheBeardedSalmon]

Take the mic off ten 4th official but let him still have a ear piece so they can still listen in to relay the refs thoughts to the managers, give the official a red flag to throw on if he needs the ref to yellow the managers 😂

What a geezer , good luck to you marc

[@simonparker5173]

Lads, stop pushing Brewdog so much!!!!! You’ve got 3 adverts in the background and a logo in the corner and yet still you have to interrupt the podcast to have whats basically an advert. Its overkill, Brewdog isn’t the best beer and as a business its one which is never far away from controversy
