That Peter Crouch Podcast

25/10/23·1h 9m

This week, Crouchy, Chris and Notorious are back in action and discussing all things Assistant Managers.

Often the unsung heroes of the backroom staff - with the exception of Newcastle - the lads feel it’s only right to highlight some of the best duos in football history, as well as UK Pop culture.

The lads take a deep dive into how assistant managers are often the go-between between senior players and the managers and the dynamics between them and the managers.

Sid’s is also on hand for a mini game that caught the lads slightly off guard and turned out to be one of the highlights of the pod - after Chris’ attire.

And finally, no one on this podcast is free from the firing line, including not Sir David Beckham himself who has drawn Crouchy’s ire for his BBQ set up in his recent documentary.

Its a goodun!
