Henri Lansbury: “I Knew I Had Cancer… But I Didn’t Want to Stop Playing”

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by former Arsenal and Nottingham Forest midfielder Henri Lansbury—a man known for his composed playmaking style, his Premier League journey, and now, his unexpected new life as a lawn-care entrepreneur. Henri gets candid about a life-changing diagnosis—testicular cancer—and opens up on how he discovered it, why he kept it quiet during his career, and how football dressing room culture shaped his response. In a powerful, funny, and refreshingly honest chat, Henri explains the moment he realised something was wrong, the speed of his surgery, and how football banter helped him process it all. The lads also dive into Henri’s career journey through Arsenal’s elite youth system, wild loan spells at Scunthorpe and Norwich, and his glory years at Forest. There’s even time to talk about robot lawn mowers, silent discos, and how Henri went from footballer to founder of Grass Gains, the fertiliser brand making waves in Premier League stadiums and home gardens alike. Stick around to hear some top-class football nostalgia, locker room laughs, and the kind of heartfelt real talk that this podcast delivers best.

“The Game Is GONE” - We Need To Talk About Modern Football

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris Stark, and Steve Sidwell reunite to discuss the state of modern football—and it’s safe to say, the game has well and truly gone. From nostalgic takes on goal celebrations to fuming over financial fair play, the lads aren’t holding back. Chris discusses his injury from a rogue five-year-old’s high five, Steve shares his story about proposing again on his 20th wedding anniversary, and Crouchy flexes his new golf trophy win, sparking a movement to secure him VIP parking across the UK. But it’s the main debate that steals the show—“has football officially lost the plot?” The team deep dive into everything that grinds their gears about the modern game: players filming with phones on the pitch, soulless shirt sponsors, managers refusing to adapt tactics, and the death of spontaneity in football moments thanks to VAR. Plus, we use AI to generate Sids a FAKE girlfriend in the Chumbawumbar… trust us, this one's a belter. Chumbawamba 00:00 – Reunion and travel debreif 01:04 – Steve’s second wedding proposal 08:22 – Chris’s bizarre injury from a child 09:00 – Crouchy wins a golf tournament (and calls for VIP parking) 12:51 – Episode theme: “The Game’s Gone” 14:02 – Has VAR killed the magic of football? 16:57 – Rant about players filming with phones on the pitch 22:14 – Fake AI girlfriend?! 25:26 – Financial Fair Play and club punishments 28:09 – Selling homegrown players to game the system 33:11 – Why do all managers now play the same tactics? 39:06 – Crouchy wants the return of the magic sponge 45:03 – Throw-ins vs. kick-ins: the lads reimagine the game Follow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_Stark Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/ For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

From youth football rejection to that unforgettable Cruyff turn goal at Euro 2016, Hal opens up about his rollercoaster of a career—one that includes two ACL ruptures, founding a multi-million pound wellness brand, and becoming Wales’ unlikely hero on the global stage. The lads dig deep into Hal’s journey, how his homemade turmeric shots went from his dad’s blender to supermarket shelves, and why inflammation might be the root of most modern-day health issues. There’s talk of brutal Premier League realities, the dressing room dynamics no one sees, and how football still fails players when it comes to mental health. Plus, what it’s really like being a boot boy for the one and only Steve Sidwell, why David Ginola was tight at Christmas, and the story behind how a promised £50-a-goal bonus proved surprisingly lucrative for a young Robson-Kanu.

Martin Tyler: “This One Line Has Haunted Me for 30 Years” | Breaking down ICONIC moments and Regrets

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by none other than Martin Tyler – the legendary commentator affectionately known across the world as the voice of football. With a career spanning over five decades, Martin reflects on iconic moments behind the mic – from “Collymore closing in!” to Aguero’s title-winning goal.

Can You Beat Us at This IMPOSSIBLE Premier League Quiz?

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are let loose on a (questionable) pub quiz, taking on the ultimate test of football knowledge—and things go completely off-script. With producer Jamie stepping in as quizmaster, Pete, Chris, and Sids are thrown into a whirlwind of Premier League trivia, bizarre football stats, and the kind of curveball questions that make you question everything you thought you knew about the beautiful game. But in true pod fashion, it’s far from plain sailing. There's chaos over pancake maths, debates about walking stats, a very public golfing humiliation, and an absolutely mental story involving a premier league legend gifting Chris Stark’s mum some cheese (yes, really). There are shoutouts to podcast icon Tucker’s 19, beefs with rival podcasts, and even a passionate debate on gas vs. charcoal. Play along, keep score, and let us know in the comments how you did. But be warned—some of these questions will do you in.

These HILARIOUS Footballer Adverts Will Leave You Speechless…

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete and Chris (with Sids still on the beach) dive headfirst into the hilarious and often cringe world of footballers in adverts. From Crouchy’s proudest Pringles moment to the beauty of the Jamie Vardy Thailand ad, nothing is off limits. The boys reminisce over iconic commercials—from the Carlsberg Sunday League masterpiece to Owen’s iconic Dubai helicopter advert—and question whether footballers should ever really act again. Crouchy shares tales from the set with Fabregas and Anelka, while the lads dissect Cristiano Ronaldo’s truly bewildering Shopee ad and discuss the genius of Burger King's Stevenage FIFA hack. We also hear from listeners: should clubs pick players based on acting skills? And what really is the greatest beer of all time? Airport beer? Train beer? Christmas Guinness? The debate gets rowdy, nostalgic, and weirdly emotional. Chumbawamba 00:00 – The Glastonbury news incident… 00:02:40 – The saga of “Bugger Me Thrice” continues 00:04:44 – Crouchy introduces the footballers-in-adverts theme 00:05:42 – Carlsberg's legendary Sunday League ad breakdown 00:10:12 – Crouchy’s FIFA Street cover story 00:11:12 – Crouchy’s Pringles ad story w/ Fabregas, Kuyt, & Anelka 00:15:04 – The lads’ marketing brainstorm for the podcast 00:18:17 – That Michale Owen ad breakdown 00:20:30 – Giggs, Evra & Rooney: accidentally hilarious wine advert 00:23:36 – Jamie Vardy’s Thai stadium commercial 00:27:26 – How Beckham changed footballer endorsements forever 00:43:00 – The greatest beer of all time debate gets real Follow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_Stark Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/ For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.
