On this week’s bonus episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dive headfirst into the chaos and comedy of pre-season. From Oasis gigs in Dublin to dodgy roly-polys after a last-minute winner, the lads unpack the highs and lows of football’s return.


Pete relives opening-day nightmares, bizarre pre-match routines, and superstitions about kits and boots, while Chris and Sids share the fan’s perspective on renewing season tickets, spotting familiar characters in the stands, and suffering the agony of “that one voice” in the crowd that cuts through everything.


We also hear about disastrous goal celebrations, iconic supporters who deserve cult hero status, and whether football has gone too far with grip socks and fashionable penalties.


It’s all pre-season nostalgia, outrageous stories, and plenty of laughs as the boys gear up for another season.
