Peter Crouch

[SpiderSpurs]

Reporter - "Peter, if you hadn't been a footballer, what would you have been?"

Crouch - "A virgin!"

One of the more surprising success stories in football and a top bloke to boot.

I always think of the irony of his surname for a person so tall...but for that goal in the San Siro he has my undying gratitude.

I'd really recommend the That Peter Crouch Podcasts to anyone who hasn't heard them.

 

[Alli-Luya]

Well deserved rest big man.

 

[Sean]

Will always remember that night in the San siro

 

[johnamiri]

A much better footballer than he was given credit for.

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

Will always remember that night in the San siro

and vs City. The scenes were immense. It prompted me to buy the under arm piss stained shirt signed and now framed by all the squad! I have a few of these, it's the only one that's no hung on the wall. LOL

 

[ShutUpPatrik]

Thanks for the memories Treebeard.

You deserve this retirement.

Amazing to think how influential he was to our first ever CL campaign. Of course he scored the goal at City to help clinch qualification to the CL qualifiers, but he also got a hattrick in the play off home game after we lost the away tie 3-2, then 3 goals in the group stage, and of course the winner in the San Siro and only goal of the tie against AC Milan which took us into the quarters.

Then had a brainfart at the Bernabau and got himself sent off which totally ruined any small hope we had

Thanks for the memories Crouchy. Genuinely a good guy

I didn't make to Manchester game to qualify us to champions League but was out in Milan for the game and even though the city is shit that we remain one my favourite nights @ football.

I've mentioned it a couple of times, but if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be a Spurs fan. The City game was the first Spurs match that I saw, and I immediately fell in love with the club. So, thank you big man, and happy retirement!

Crouch is excellent in them but I can't listen to them because of the fake giggling by his BBC lovey sidekick, a right wanker who's doing all he can to get noticed so he can be the next Blue Peter presenter.

As someone not old enough to remember 1991, that goal against City still stands out to me as the most elated, I've been as a Spurs fan. League cup wins were nice and all, but the sheer feeling of unexpected accomplishment that night will not be passed, perhaps ever, and at least not until a PL or CL win.

For that reason alone, he's a legend on a personal level.

And then he just seems such an honest and fun bloke. There's no other Spurs player, I'd rather have a pint, or ten, with down the local.

After last season against city and then Ajax both he's goals against city and Milan have been pushed down the list for me.

What a guy

 

[Clynelish]

Great personality, decent striker.

 

[CWSpur]

He is a good lad. Not the most gifted of players but done well enough. His career records show that.

 

[Atomic knob]

Always one of my absolute favorites. Enjoy retirement Crouchy!!
