Tall or Nothing
About this episode

On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Chris has done a runner to catch his son’s first nativity play and has left Crouchy and Sids flying solo - as they talk preparation for their upcoming go karting showdown next week. 


The Karting challenge, which was born out of Sids throwing down the gauntlet to ‘challenge Bridgey’ got the lads thinking about some of the toughest challenges they have faced in their careers, both on and off the pitch. 


The lads discuss the early pressures of dedicating your life to being a footballer as your mates hit the town on the lash, proving your worth when breaking into first team squads and the mental toll that being sidelined through injury can have on a player. 


The lads also discuss how they now find themselves challenging their own children and the next generation to get the best out of themselves and the different challenges this new wave of athletes face compared to them.
