On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris and Sid welcome former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack, who enjoyed a wild career with clubs including Reading, Wolves, Hibs, Barnet, and Kerala Blasters. Known as much for his no-nonsense style as his shot-stopping, Stack lifts the lid on some of football’s most infamous behind-the-scenes moments, including what really happened in the dressing room during Arsenal’s 03/04 season.

Stack reflects on the chaos and camaraderie of his playing days, including infamous training ground bust-ups, dressing-room scraps, and wild fan encounters abroad. He also reveals his latest venture—organising a one-of-a-kind boxing night where ex-footballers swap the pitch for the ring, raising funds for charities close to his heart such as the Willow Foundation. 

Expect Stack’s infamously outrageous stories, brutal honesty, and the kind of behind-the-scenes insight only a journeyman goalkeeper with tales from Arsenal’s Invincibles to non-league can deliver.
