James Collins: Team Punch-ups, Crazy Dubai trips, and Marking Ronaldo

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris sit down with former Welsh international and Premier League cult hero James Collins. Known for his no-nonsense defending, legendary commitment on the pitch, and wild off-the-field stories, ‘Ginge’ spills all on his career—from marking Luis Suárez at Anfield to the infamous Andy Carroll punch-up…

The lads dive into what really went on in those chaotic West Ham dressing rooms, the outrageous team nights out, and why he once played a Premier League game with a steak strapped to his foot. Expect tales of Big Sam’s Dubai trips, brutal old-school training, and the unique team spirit that kept the Ginger Pele’s career going strong.
