This week on That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids welcome Owen Hargreaves — former England international, Champions League winner with both Bayern Munich and Manchester United, and one of the few players to represent England after developing abroad.
Known for his versatility and tireless midfield work, Owen opens up about growing up in Canada, life at Bayern, sharing a dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo, Beckham, Scholes, and Gerrard, and the brutal realities of top-flight football.
The lads dig into forgotten legacies, dressing room cliques, and Champions League glory, while Owen reflects on injuries, criticism, and what it takes to compete with the very best.
Expect candid stories from training bust-ups to iconic finals, plus the usual mix of laughs, tangents, and behind-the-scenes honesty only this pod delivers.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
