I’ve always liked him as a player and loved his sense of humour.

His feet stick out of the bed 🛏
PETER CROUCH
I remember walking of several flights of stairs in the way end of Sunderland‘s Stadium of Light on January 2, 2017 and stopping on a flight of stairs as I saw “Nine small steps for man...
One norm step for Peter Crouch.” I had to stop and take a photo as it put a huge smile on my face.
Happy Retirement Crouchy!
