On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads hand over the reins completely… because you asked, and we answered EVERYTHING.

From the real story behind how the podcast first began at the BBC (yes, it was basically football’s version of One Direction), to nearly hitting 400 episodes and planning something huge for the 10-year anniversary — Pete, Sids and Chris take a proper trip down memory lane.

We dive into the one game Crouchy would replay forever (and the medal that still stings), Sids relives promotion chaos and post-match beers, and the boys get brutally honest about whether they would’ve taken the Saudi payday at the end of their careers.

There’s also Cheltenham madness, Harry Redknapp tip stories, footballers calling their jobs “appearances”, shocking dressing room nicknames, the worst Premier League kits of all time… and somehow, a serious debate about double pudding etiquette.

Plus — is Crouchy officially a free agent in the phone network transfer window?

As always, let us know in the comments:

- What game would YOU replay?

- Would you take the Saudi move?

- And how many “appearances” have you made at your job? 👀

FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, we look back at when Rod Stewart joined the lads to discuss his lifelong love of football, growing up in a football-obsessed household, and the hilarious rivalry he shared with fellow music icon Elton John.

Rod opens up about their competitive friendship in the 70s, outrageous Christmas presents, wild nights before heading off to watch Watford F.C., and the legendary moment Elton had his “Blondes Have More Fun” balloons shot down. He also reflects on scoring a hat-trick at Stamford Bridge during Soccer Six — much to the delight of his mate George Best.

Les Ferdinand is back — and this one goes everywhere.

From the pressure of wearing the iconic number nine shirt to why modern football has drifted away from two-striker partnerships, Les doesn’t hold back. There’s a proper centre-forward masterclass in here — plus a full dissection of diving, simulation, and why shin pads have basically disappeared.

Yes… we’re starting the campaign to Make Shin Pads Great Again.

We also get stuck into the “blue card” debate, inverted wingers, why no one attacks crosses anymore, and whether football’s gone a bit too nice. Then it’s straight into predictions, the wife’s score calls, and one of the strangest deep dives into mobile phone providers you’ll ever hear on a football podcast.

Part 2 delivers.

If you love proper striker chat, nostalgia, and a bit of chaos — this one’s for you.
