From Bench to Brilliance: Celebrating Football's Greatest Bench Warmers

[@JosephMatthews490]

The random geezer who laughs at 10:30 always adds to the pod. Always makes me laugh hearing someone just crack up in the background.

[@Mykingdom560]

Don't change your mind mate.. this pod has just unlocked a memory. our Sunday league goal keeper was out for a season with what was called at the time a mystery virus. So for the full season I went from being a midfielder to a goal keeper. fast forward to the end of the season awards when the cheeky bastards decided to give me most improved player.. 22 years it took for me to realise I had been done 😅 thanks for the birthday present

[@JaneKellie-uh3mo]

Love the show. Ross with his infectious laugh in the background adds to That Crouch Pod. It's also great how the football league introduces other Sports. Love It 👍

[@tomleigh7478]

This bi weekly event they call That Peter Crouch Podcast. Well. It's just a beautiful thing

[@jman7389]

Paperboy!! What a game 🎮 Back in the day on Sega!

[@johnnyharrington8742]

Paperboy was a great game!!

[@AJM813]

That game where Sidwell came on against Wigan and we were 3-0 up, I was right behind the shot when he scored and it actually broke the net.

[@LondonRiverRats]

In the days of the only one substitute. As a 12 year old, I was promoted from the 2nd team, to the 1st team bench. As a 12 year old, that was massive lol.

[@redboyjan]

I remember one sub only too. Only used if there was an actual injury so you just sat there nearly every match. So I said no eventually and played all the 2nd team matches after that!

[@Joker66623]

When the England team played at OT before Wembley was finished. The team all went to a restaurant down the road from me in Swinton in Manchester. Years later they still had the signed shirts on the wall. I bet your signature is on there somewhere.

[@reevy6]

Players, player was always a popularity thing. I went to a different school to the rest of the team I played in. But I got managers player every year. There was far better players than me and none of them ever got it because they wasn't in the main popular group!

[@tomleigh7478]

Try recieving 'sportsman of the year' Central Ajax, mid warwickshire League Tim flowers was there. Ace keeper. But yeah, got Sportsman of the year' 1993 Still got the trophy. Genuinely proud tho in a slightly weird way.

[@ILIKEFROGS656]

Great episode

[@chris2003ize]

Who has been on the bench the most without ever playing? That's the record you don't want and somebody must have it.

[@newspaperface]

Kaiser

[@canonogic]

Probably a goalkeeper. One of chelseas longest serving players, Matej Delac, was there for 8 years and had 0 appearances for them 😂

[@robbo512]

@@canonogic But Delac wasn't even a regular on the bench. Steve Harper was a Newcastle player for 20 years and at LEAST 12 of them he was kept on the bench by Shay Given

[@felicitybolt7607]

Back to back most improved player is outrageous

[@harryrussell6801]

Swear you must have covered every subject now, twice 😂

[@stephendonovan6773]

Gini for Robbo against Barcelona. Came on and scored 2!

[@insidethebox1483]

I thinking Brighton are rather parched for telling subs there finishers not starters 8:50

[@darrylkemp3253]

I love the way every week Chris outs himself as a complete loser

[@benedictwallis5820]

It’s painful how little he knows about football 😂😂😂

[@aladdin1985]

haha, ouch 😆

[@conorcaulfield8461]

Not a clue so he has

[@jackabalas]

He’s a fkn melt

[@darrylkemp3253]

He thought most improved player was an actual achievement! My team used to give it to the div kids who turned up to training every week and never got a game because they were absolutely abysmal

[@phillsmith9255]

The sub keeper now known as the John Terry.

[@ciaranmcnamara235]

Following the theme.. which player has been the most unused substitute in premier league history?

[@keithmelvin4788]

100% BBQC-light switch player haha

[@bizz49]

Can we talk about how much rio ferdinand loves a bbq??

[@Gaming-ClipHUB]

Sean Longstiff

[@tongi1980]

ronny rosenthal v southampton 1995 fa cup 5th rnd replay. scored a hattrick. 6-2 aet

[@cillianhourihan3427]

A player can refuse to come off, watched something about weird rules the other day

[@smogykenzo]

On the shout of super subs I'll shot massimo maccarone in there, helped with both comeback in the Europa league, QF and SF

edin dzeko vs QPR 2-2 ??

[@paulsturges6157]

Love the show but think you're better than having gambling company as sponsor. Be an example.

[@HenryLoader]

Karl for sure

[@macurlyfries]

They sponsor crouch anyway

[@benthomson6174]

Karl

Piss off paul

Pods run its course

[@mcminn94]

I can't workout why you guys upload this so early on such a random day , by the time people finish work you've been lost within the algorithm

[@safebans1369]

Surely it's for people on their way to work? That's when most people have free time to listen I'd imagine

[@ciaranmcnamara235]

I listen when I wake up 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@chrisgravillis5930]

Shouldn't get lost If you subscribe AND put the notification bell on!!

[@elliotwilliams7421]

Stop being selfish

[@benedictwallis5820]

It’s for people in the way to work, muppet

[@niallwilliams8833]

Pods on its knees😔

[@canonogic]

Most improved (based on this season): Arsenal - Havertz/Gabriel Liverpool - Gomez Man United - Hojlund Man City - Foden? Tottenham - Werner Chelsea - Jackson Aston Villa - Mcginn? West Ham - Areola

[@straightouttacornwall]

As a Villa fan I would say Bailey

[@robbo512]

Werner? Christ, he's been there 2 months haha.

[@canonogic]

@@robbo512 and hes improved since his dogshit chelsea days 😂

[@robbo512]

So are you basing it off this season or not?A bit mixed up because in that case you better remove Havertz because he was dogshit for the majority of this season too...@@canonogic

[@canonogic]

@@robbo512 why you getting so pressed 😂 Relax my dude

[@robbo512]

Who is the bloke behind the camera who is getting more and more desperate as the weeks go by to be part of the pod? Laughing out loud and throwing out the odd comment that the viewer can't quite hear and the guys don't even acknowledge. Makes me cringe every time.

[@redboyjan]

Who are you?

[@jackabalas]

Substitute Chris out for anyone else! It’s the only way to get more subscribers than Foster.

[@DuffmanOhNo]

Podcast is absolute drivel
