“You’re One Game from £120M” – The BRUTAL Reality of the Championship…

“You’re One Game from £120M” – The BRUTAL Reality of the Championship…

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are knee-deep in Championship chaos as Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dive headfirst into the beautiful unpredictability of the Play-Offs.


They explore what makes this stage of the season the most thrilling—and brutal—event in English football. With firsthand stories from their own careers, including Crouchy’s brief stint at Norwich, to Sid’s heartbreak at Brighton, they discuss how the psychological rollercoaster of the Play-Offs impacts clubs, fans, and players alike.


From debating whether staying in the Championship is actually more fun than promotion, to reminiscing on iconic moments like Troy Deeney’s miracle goal and Bobby Zamora’s last-gasp winner, the episode blends nostalgia, insider insight, and hilarious tangents—including sandwich debates, shared lawn feuds, and the real meaning behind "gulf in class."


Whether you're a football purist or just in it for the playoff mayhem, this episode delivers everything you love about the pod—laughs, heart, and a serious nod to what football means beyond the pitch.
