“I Could Hear The Crowd Laughing At Me" | That Peter Crouch Film | Exclusive Clip

42 England games and 22 goals. Peter Crouch is both a very nice guy and an underrated player in his prime.

[@MagicMike_101]

Underrated? No

[@feintfoot1589]

wow...those are impressive stats

[@ralphrex9118]

Dropped from England way too soon.

[@pepsiaxe2937]

​@firdaussyah5297 22 goals in 40 odd games for England makes him more then a decent striker lol

[@blanka8188]

Imagine if he had bulked up Imagine if he had dedicated himself to that He would have been unplayable, big strong and a very decent footballer

[@ronniep9272]

​@I read that his metabolism didn't let him gain weight. An athlete his height should weigh 90kg minimum but he was just 75kg.

[@rrandy8432]

some of the finest EPL goals no less 👍👍

[@TheIncredibleBeard_]

​@he doesn't have the frame to put any bulk on. He is a good example of a tall person who is basically stretched. He's the same height as Hulk Hogan (to pick a random example) and you can see what difference build makes

@@TheIncredibleBeard_ so there's no way with some kind of steroids, he could have reached hulk Hogan's size Then maintained it with natural methods when the steroids had long left his system?

[@adamf8335]

I absolutely hate bullies in all forms and football has so many. Shame on them. How fantastic is Peter Crouch to come through that having become a brilliant Premiership Footballer and bagging himself a really lovely partner. I wish him all the success and happiness, he deserves it!

[@MultiJejje]

part of the game. you must use every psychological edge so your team can win (except racism ofc). like they said, Crouch disappeared when people were coming after him. That's the job well done.

[@tarcisioneves9348]

[@scottxtapes9743]

It’s part of the game and the abuse isn’t necessary but we don’t live in a utopia, the best way to deal with them is score and prove them wrong and crouch did that.

[@Enigma3]

im not so sure its classed as bullying really? i mean i can see how it can easily be viewed as that, but i think the majority are just having a laugh.... we sing stuff about everyone, its mostly just banter to throw players off their game. I guess a lot of people will disagree and will be offended by it, only natural i guess

[@MathsScience-Hub]

I remember his overhead kick against Galatasaray, it was one of my favourite goals growing up. I didn't knew he had to endure all this abuse. I was always impressed of his goal-scoring abilities, now knowing that he overcame severe abuse, my respect for him has deepened even further

Great at Liverpool, and underrated. For a player who is 6'7, he had brilliant ball control.

[@paulwilliams2663]

His return was poor with us and dreadful start. That's why he was offloaded

[@craighewitt223]

​​@@paulwilliams2663his effort wasn't poor, and the fans appreciate that. He gave it his all until his first goal went in, after what, 18 games or so, couldn't stop scoring then, granted he went missing in the '06 cup final.

I watched him play for QPR away at Tranmere way back when. Tranmere could not handle him in the air, he was an obvious threat. It wasn’t just crosses, he could receive a long ball and chest it down when most players had to head it. I remember thinking he was going to end up playing at a far higher level because he was just so hard to cope with, and he had the skills to back it up. So glad he proved all those vile abusers wrong. Good for him.

[@gonufc]

I always thought Crouch was a far better player when it was played to feet and his teammates played normally with him rather than lobbing it up for him to head. It may sound strange for someone with the most headed goals in the Prem but he was not very good at heading the ball- especially early on. He'd often get the technique all wrong. But his touch was fantastic and he was superb at taking it in and having others play off him- like with Van de Vaart.
