Count your millions mate. Who's laughing now.
Yeah he has millions, but does he have a super hot wife who.. oh wait, he does
MT Zyfxo I imagine being laughed at feels embarrassing and money won’t change that
John Williams no, i think otherwise
@@tomshaw5025 It's clearly in the past, he's not saying he suffers from body image issues
John Williams must help
Crouchinho was awesome for liverpool. Dont judge a book by its cover
Anish Lamsal and Spurs, linking up with Van Der Vaart or Defoe
Michael Fu's Videos Titus Bramble > Emile Heskey > Darius Vassell > Ronaldo
Michael Fu's Videos Agreed with that. but no one can touch Lord Bendtner
Anish Lamsal apart from his wife ;)
@@anishlamsal3323 Nobody wants to touch bendtner.
Joe and Crouchy both suffered neck pain after this interview...
Lol
Jorg Cooper 😂😂😂 to funny bro
WATP
@@Scotsmaninspain WATP mate 👍
and the presenter
Why is Joe Cole talking about Crouchy as if he's not standing right next to him?
TryHardSoviet seems rr
Because he's analysing his career
TV is new to him
Because he can't see him from down there
Because he's been asked to talk about him by an interviewer while standing in front of him. Not that hard to work out
Crouch's awkward style of play is what made him such a nightmare to deal with. An outstanding irony that defined his career for all the right reasons.
TrashCanDatNoOb Wut and he was a good finisher
He didn't have an awkward style of play. That's typical lazy, clichéd, armchair pundit nonsense. He had very good technique. His body type looks awkward, NOTHING about his "style of play" was awkward
Header specialist he was bang average player
@@Flipmode1900 Exactly what I was thinking. Well said.
@@michaelg3463 he wasn't as good at headers as people think. He even said it himself that he'd rather have the ball at his feet than in the air cause he can control the ball at his feet. Despite being such a Aerial threat, he's rather bring the ball down than get his head on it. Just did what was needed for the goals.
Great Career, Hot wife, and financially sorted, not done too bad for himself
I agree for a bang average player
@@michaelg3463 not exsctly bang avarage
@@michaelg3463 The best player to have in the box for set pieces and crosses.
Michael G he has over 100 goals in the premier league, scored at a World Cup and has a very good scoring record for England
Michael G Bang average? Record for big clubs and England speaks for itself. Unreal touch for his size and scored goals.
I was outside the stadium the day this was filmed. Could see Crouchy's head above the stands
Lol
The day this was filmed as if it wasn’t today? 😂
Need more folk like u in utube
Could do better.
I saw Tottenham play in a preseason friendly in South Africa and I went to the game and no word of lie, I felt like I could touch the top of his head from where I was sitting.
Crouchy is a legend, modest, honest in his strength and abilities, and ultimately a staunch professional.
Trying to think if I’ve ever seen him have a awful game, he always pulled his weight
All 7stone of him
Crouchy overhead kick!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!
@@antwango that was a great meme 🤣
He always put in a shift....
Even when it took, I think 13 games before he scored for Liverpool he proved to be much more than a big lad up front. If he'd been a lesser player then he'd not have been in the team. Great player.
As a Liverpool fan I was always appreciative of what Crouch did for us. Amazing hat trick against Arsenal being a personal highlight.
Some of the worldies that this guy scored is ridiculous.
Scored an absolute worldie of a wife n'all.
His goal vs Galatasaray is iconic
He scored a crazy one from distance for Stoke some years ago, I remember it because it was against us.
Crouchy is a legend in English football.
Lol
he was a aright player, played well for liverpool, but he was definitely not a legend.
He was alright meaning average
@@michaelg3463 Yeah pretty much
@@Long-Horse he was a lot better than average
Top champions league goalscorer 2007, he was class in his prime
The career path stats on the left are so wrong. Missed out first spell of Pompey. Says 5 years at Spurs (it was 2), 3 years at Stoke (it was 7), 2 years at Liverpool (it was 3).
yeah i swear he played on stoke longer. ever since i started watching the prem in 2013, the only shirt ive seen crouch wear was stoke.
The framing off this is hilarious, made Couchy look even taller than he is 😂
Jake is only actually 3 inches shorter as well lmao
Manlet camera man… 😂
He's one of my favourite players of all time
WOW what retards
Cylenium Crouch still has a better goal scoring record for England than most Players could dream of and Top Scorer in Champions League...
Crouchy and Joe Cole, definitely the most likeable and watchable ex England players doing pundentry
Crouch was actually very technically gifted. He had a velvet coushin like first touch which is pretty extraordinary for a man of his size. He had a good awareness of his team mates around him and was an effective focal point with his slick link up play. Could also finish well and he has scored some goals in his career that the very best forwards in the world would be proud of.
Obvously coming from a man who actually WATCHED him play. I'm just so tired of people who just look at him as a heading specialist, set piece target, a tall target man and that's it. He wasn't even so good with his head/in the air, he was good but there were always plenty of better players. And his techical quality always remained overlooked. He was a mobile player, great to link up with, intelligent, had the vision, awareness..
Football fans in general are just so superficial and barely watch the game properly.
The fact that he’s scored bicycle and overhead kicks with his frame is impressive in itself.
Crouch is a legend! One of the best strikers to ever grace the premier league/champions league and international competitions
Love Crouch. Comes across a genuine top fella. And what a player
*Loved him at Liverpool!*
What a top bloke on and off the pitch, met him a few times when he was down here at Pompey, honest and a great head on those tall shoulders. Those people aren't laughing now, count that well earned money big man👌
I want to see him beside Lorenzo insigne
He played with Shaun Wright philips
Even better next to Frankenstein detourii lol
It doesn’t help, when your standing next to joe cole 🙈
😂😂
Why? Is crouch a legend and cole isnt?
@Jay United
Yeah and also spending 7 years at Stoke doesn't help with the image he didn't want to have that he's just a player for a long ball route one team.
@@cddb5408 We stopped route 1 way before crouchy signed then the cristism persisted because teams and there fans where hurt that we managed to find a way to beat them. Actually try and understand something not just following what everyone else says.
Im fed up with the constant disrespect Stoke get when they are a founding member of the football league and second oldest club in the world. We got promoted and stayed mid table for a decade during which time other clubs yo yoed back and forth from the championship. Crouch made the most appearances and scored the most goals for stoke than any other team by far.
he was a beast in his prime.....
Lol
Average at best.
@@evang94 hahaha youre average
He was a great player. People always struggled to realise his techical quality behind his long feet. Always had the ability to keep the ball as long as he wanted, great eye for a pass, intelligent player, a very decent finisher.. he should've played more in liverpool he was one of their best players while there.
Everyone loves crouch, he's just a gentle giraffe.
Uncle Peaceful nih giraffes are particularly gentle compared to many different animals
A journalist once asked him what would he be if he wasn't a footballer? 'A virgin'. 😍
Never heard that before
Hahahahaha
Lmao
It was in keith lemon celebrity juice
At 6ft8 he'd defo not be a virgin.
Lfc fan here. Crouchy is a legend and seems like a nice fellow as well and quite down to earth.
I always rated Peter Crouch. He is an incredible inspiration for young footballers.
Crouch actually got 11 in 12 games for England in 2006. 22 in 42 is amazing at international level especially since he didn't take pens. He'd have broken the scoring record if he played the same amount of caps as Rooney at that rate
Loved Crouch at QPR, wished he would have come back! I would still have him back now!
Very underrated player, people can laugh all they want, but he was a player of great technical ability.
So great yet so humble.Totally respect that mate👍👍
Peter crouch a solid striker the giant Englishmen big fan from Brazil
What a bloke and player. Total respect for crouch.
Ya gerrards
Ya Owens
Ya rooneys
There's only one of each !!!!
He had excellent ball control, was totally underrated. Was absolutely superb for the scouse. Played for my team QPR. Scored the goal that put Tottenham Champions League football. Won the FA Cup!Scored for England! and so much more Peter Crouch what a player top man....
Both of these players were magnificent. What a squad we had for the Three Lions.
Such a gent. Can't complain about a player and a man like Peter Crouch. Deserved way better in his career.
Loved him at liverpool. Those overhead kicks were amazing. Scored a winner against ushited in the fa cup winning season too
U can see Joe Cole looks up to Crouchy
One of my favorite epl players Ever ... his robot celebration is amazing
Good watch - Crouch was a top player but more importantly he’s a top person too and he’s doing brilliantly post football with his podcast too. Great career, great home life, smart and humble... don’t think too much about the haters.
The man is a huge success. Seems like everything he touches turns to gold. Good on him.
The thing he can be most proud of is that I don't know anybody who has a bad word to say about him.He is genuinely just a nice bloke,much bigger thing to be proud of.
Crouch's goal against city is still to this day one of the best goals if not the best I've ever seen
Absolute class act for England, unstoppable
Crouch had some of the best first touch controls from the air, plus he scored loads of beautiful goals, even tho he cant get in front of owen and rooney in england i reckon he gets in front of more strikers in the clubs he played for. full stop
Brilliant player and massively underused for England
Jake Humphrey surprised Crouchy still felt he had to prove himself, despite being part of the overarching media machine that puts pressure on players, and questions them at every turn/mistake.
Impossible to hate crouchy. Absolutely incredible player and great guy.
Very, very underrated player. I was sooo happy when we signed Peter Crouch. More than an out & out centre forward. Able to hold up play, as pointed out by J.C., distribute and be in the right place at the right time. Some Great goals. Great S.O.H. Why did LFC sell him? One word! Profit! He was bought for £6M and sold for £12M! imo he'd have doubled that if the-powers-that-be at Liverpool had stuck with him. A sad day for me when he departed.
As an opponent, I always feared Peter Crouch regarded him as a very VERY dangerous forward. His goals speak for him. Legend.
He really makes his father proud, special his family 👪
"People looked at my face and their neck ached" - Peter Crouch, 2019
I’ve always thought Crouch dog has always felt like a genuine, and decent man. Top guy and great footballer. 👍 ⚽️ 🦒
I so wanted it to work out for him at Villa, having watched him bang in the goals for Portsmouth, I wish we had been more patient with him, really good team player.
He’s big, he’s a red and his feet stick out the bed “Peter Crouch”
BIG respect Pete.
Ok so these 3 need their own football podcast. The chemistry is really nice and the respect is there and they all appreciate the game with Crouch and Cole having great careers. The laughs are there too as is standard with Crouchy having a microphone in hand.
Such a humble guy.
Crouchy is an all time legend.
Peter the legend........his amazing goal against Man city wow....
He went to my school, Drayton.....made us proud mate
I love Peter crouch absolute legend YNWA
no one is laughing now. one of my all time favorite footballers.
42 England caps and 42 Liverpool goals ..I support Liverpool and I loved it when crouchy was with us.he was a great player who I think was very underrated,but not by me.
LOVE U CROUCHE ..WE ENJOYED U PLAY FO LFC
I think his career stats are wrong. Don't think he was at Spurs for 5 years!
Bules 67 yeah, weird that
'09-'11 at Tottenham with 12 goals and '11 to '19 at Stoke with 46 goals
He was technically as he started his career there but didn’t play. I’m more shocked he was at stoke for eight years!
The career stats are definitely wrong, I'm a Stoke fan and he was with us for about eight years
I was at Anfield the day Crouchie signed for the Reds, great buy, great player, great man.
Top bloke, top footballer and top Mrs.. Well done fella
Anyone remember that screamer volley when he was with Stoke? Best goal I've ever seen!
Proved me wrong. Was gutted when he left Liverpool. Great player, technical ability.
We love ya crouchy!! Legend.
United fan but I loved crouch ! Real player miss his head above the goal 😂😂
Love that song in the background
There’s not a single footy fan that doesn’t love Crouchy, he is exactly what football is all about.
This guy was underrated. He deserved to be no.1 for england at one point
He was a top class player underrated.. always was a threat!
he was ok thats all.
Love Peter met him at stoke v Coventry 👍 same with Joe Cole . Always read Crouchys columns in the mail
Crouchy was one of my favourite personalities in the game. Loved this guy. Think when Lineker calls it a day with MOTD, Crouchy would be an ideal replacement.
3:46 Joe Cole view looks like he is searching for some birds in the air
The 2 best technical British players of they time.....
Body-shaming is rife in this sport but always gets brushed off as banter.
Crouch was a great striker so under rated
Peter Crouch is also very tall in his amazing attitude and talent.
Ngl when I 1st saw Peter Crouch play for Liverpool, I was a bit sceptical. But now look at him, sensational career
Great guy and so underrated
WHAT A LEGEND! BIG INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION!!
I like this guy seems genuine and funny
Crouchy is a legend
Great player and a top bloke
Peter Crouch, as a bloke .. head and shoulders above the rest😊
This man deserves a biopic
What a humble nice guy
Well loved at Liverpool.
He's Big,
He's Red,
His feet stick out the bed
Peter Crouch,
Peter Crouch..
Crouch is on everything at the min smashing it man 💪🏻
Criminally underrated!
Loved Crouch plyn for England😁
Lets be clear, everyone loves Crouchy :) MUFC fan.
Crouchy was a baller PL legend
For such a tall player amazing I'll always remember him for the volley he scored.
People might have taken the piss, but I'm willing to bet there isn't a fan in britain who wouldn't want him in their team when he was playing. Personally I was delighted when he signed for liverpool. Fantastic footballer and seemingly quality bloke.
He’s big, he’s red, his feet stick out the bed, Peter Crouch! Peter Crouchhh!
Bless him true gent highly bless
