Confessions of an Ageing Football Player

Product Information

That Peter Crouch Podcast’ is described to be an entertainment and sports podcast hosted by Peter Crouch, Chris Stark and Steve Sidwell, a guide on how to be a professional footballer, the episodes include insight on everything from dressing rooms, transfers, managers, football confessions and other details of the modern game. I sometimes write about QPR, and the sub-editors are in the habit of putting "lifelong QPR fan" in the standfirst to describe me. I am not a lifelong QPR fan. If Paul Weller's family have sustained his musical career, his marriage to Dee C Lee would indicate a parallel desire to bring his musical collaborators into the family. Reading the credits of his records, you'll find familiar names cropping up year after year. Even so, one or two brave souls in his circle did vouchsafe the odd criticism of his later Style Council records.

Sometimes you just need to say sorry. So that's why the show asked listeners to send in their own confessions - in the hope of absolution. I left the interview with Lewis with a far clearer idea of the motives behind getting involved in refereeing and felt he had painted the picture of a footballing official as being far more human and relatable than the dark picture currently on display within the footballing world. But you know how it is: you start watching a team all the time, and before you know it, you support them.A few years ago I dated an artist. He treated my body and our sex like art. He. Took. His. Time. He consciously and deliberately decided which part of my body to bite or caress next. He built anticipation. He was calculated. He was artistic. And now I only want to have sex that feels like art. Anything less feels like trying to hang a connect-the-dots picture on walls of the Met.” —N.S., 39 As a Chelsea fan, I love the tenacity and winning mentality of the team in tough situations. It has given us some really great moments over the past few years. Nor am I undermining the importance of a solid defence. He stayed there staring for what seemed like minutes. I kept pointing to my mate but he wasn't having any of it. Jimmy shook his head and I felt that my days were numbered. I always felt guilty for starting the booing which was never intended to be aimed at Peter. Crouch, you are a legend. I obviously understand how fans feel, but now I realise that at the end of the day the referee has a job to do and the referee has to do what they feel is best for the game.’

In the General Election year of 1987, the Style Council released The Cost of Loving. Though it peaked at No 2, its rapid chart descent thereafter marked the beginning of a downturn in Weller's relationship with his fans that was confirmed by the following year's overwrought and under-bought album Confessions of a Pop Group. There are times when I wish we had a featureless concrete bowl that didn't make life so difficult for the visitor, rather than Loftus Road Unfortunately the crowd around us caught on just as Peter was preparing to come on and suddenly everyone was booing Crouchy.Find out why elite male footballers wear 'sports bras' and all about the strangest pre-season tasks as Peter Crouch tells us what it takes to be at the top of the game. The life of a goalkeeper is a strange one, so we've dedicated an episode to those who try and stop Crouch from scoring.
