In Episode 8, Al and Johnny visit the first literary work by Peter Crouch, the all volleying, sometime header-ing, everyman of English football.
At 6ft 7 inches, Crouch is the 3rd tallest player ever to play in the Premier League and while he ended his career as a universally liked person, his road to stardom started with regular abuse from fans, including his own. So bad was the guff that he received for his unusual body shape, his father ended up in physical fights with fellow matching going supporters.
From roboting for the future King of England to being described by a government minister in Trinidad and Tobago as the country's most hated ever Englishman, Crouch has certainly left his mark. Published in 2018, How to be a Footballer was written just as Crouchie was finishing up his playing career with Stoke City. Tune in to find out to hear Al and Johnny's take on this, the first in the Peter Crouch canon of three books.
