Description

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Sids, and Chris sit down with Mary Earps — 2022 Euros winner with England’s Lionesses, World Cup finalist, and Golden Glove winner — for an incredibly raw and inspiring chat.


Mary opens up about her toughest career moments, including being dropped from the England squad, struggling to pay rent, and nearly walking away from football altogether. 


The lads dig into how she bounced back to become one of the world’s best, her move to Paris, and what it’s really like living life under the spotlight after the Euros win. Plus, the usual chaos: Sids’s FA Cup draw dilemma, tough gameweek 11 predictions, and why Erling Haaland’s robot dance might be crossing the line...


This one’s part football, part life lesson — and fully That Peter Crouch Podcast.
