Pete’s Bentley - That Peter Crouch Podca...

Tall or Nothing
About this episode

This week the lads are sitting down with the Blackburn, Tottenham and all round legend that is David Bentley!!


Few of the guests we have had on the podcast have brought the energy that David has, be it nights out that Crouchy would probably rather forget or flogging flooring none of knew we needed - Bentley doesn’t mess around. 


If you have ever wondered how to smuggle chicken nuggets into an England training camp or how to tell Mr Redknapp himself exactly what you think of him then we have got the podcast for you. 


Also tune in for updates on Wayne Bridge’s eponymous bridge as well as our hot take on how VAR can be used for the greater good.
