Mick recalls his highs with Ireland, his time at Wolves, and the unforgettable press conference moment that went viral for all the wrong reasons.

Martin Tyler: “This One Line Has Haunted Me for 30 Years” | Breaking down ICONIC moments and Regrets

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by none other than Martin Tyler – the legendary commentator affectionately known across the world as the voice of football.With a career spanning over five decades, Martin reflects on iconic moments behind the mic – from “Collymore closing in!” to Aguero’s title-winning goal. He shares the unseen prep behind a commentator’s job, how he once nearly turned down the TV gig entirely, and the surreal reality of being more recognised for his voice than his face.Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dig into Tyler’s personal story: from his grassroots beginnings, non-league coaching adventures, close friendships with legendary managers, and why even now, aged 78, he’s still chasing energy and the joy of football.It’s a nostalgic, surprisingly emotional, and often hilarious look at the man behind some of football’s most spine-tingling moments.Chumbawamba 00:00 – Intro01:30 – Martin Tyler reflects on first meeting Crouch during Youth Cup04:00 – Ron Atkinson’s phone call about teenage Crouchy06:30 – Tyler’s first football memory: Woking in 195308:30 – Nearly turning down a career in television10:40 – “Collymore closing in!” and Aguero’s title winner17:00 – Why Tyler still does all his own research25:00 – On staying neutral and reacting to big moments33:00 – Sir Alex Ferguson calls him at home after Sunderland match41:00 – Working with Thomas Frank & the beauty of access45:00 – Tyler’s favourite football day: Woking at Wembley and Blackburn’s title51:00 – Still chasing the energy: Tyler on love, ageing, and staying relevantFollow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.
