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.
