Football’s WILDEST Holiday Stories – “We...

Tall or Nothing
About this episode

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids embrace the upcoming off-season mood and dive headfirst into all things holiday mode.


Crouchy reminisces about intense training sessions in Swiss mountains, awkward dressing room introductions after summer transfers, and the chaos of sneaking out for that cheeky “lads trip” before your partner notices.


Sids reveals the behind-the-scenes stress of holiday planning as a footballer, including dodging club fines, wild weddings in June, and dealing with furious managers missing out on top-ten bonuses.


There’s barbecue chat, dodgy decking drama, “Big Brother” moments via home surveillance, and even a hysterical pitch for the next podcast-branded spirit: Bonfire Spiced Rum.


From backyard grill battles to full-blown football psychology and summer transfers, this episode is your perfect companion for pre-season nostalgia and post-season relief.
