This week on That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids welcome Owen Hargreaves — former England international, Champions League winner with both Bayern Munich and Manchester United, and one of the few players to represent England after developing abroad.


Known for his versatility and tireless midfield work, Owen opens up about growing up in Canada, life at Bayern, sharing a dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo, Beckham, Scholes, and Gerrard, and the brutal realities of top-flight football. 


The lads dig into forgotten legacies, dressing room cliques, and Champions League glory, while Owen reflects on injuries, criticism, and what it takes to compete with the very best.


Expect candid stories from training bust-ups to iconic finals, plus the usual mix of laughs, tangents, and behind-the-scenes honesty only this pod delivers.
