Peter James Crouch (born January 30, 1981 in Macclesfield , England , United Kingdom ) is a former English football player who last played for Burnley FC .
Club career
In the summer of 2000, Crouch signed a professional contract with the Queens Park Rangers . Although he had scored ten goals, the club was relegated. Consequently, QPR had by some players to disconnect, and Crouch was for 1.25 million pounds at the Portsmouth issued. He attracted attention with 18 goals in 37 games, and Aston Villa bought him for £ 5m in 2002. Here, however, he could not prevail and was loaned to Norwich City to collect match practice.
In 2004 Aston sold Villa Crouch for two million pounds to Southampton FC , with whom he signed a four-year deal. He scored 12 goals in 27 league games and after the club was relegated from the Premier League , Liverpool FC showed interest. In the summer of 2005, Crouch was transferred to the then Champions League winner for seven million pounds , with whom he again signed a four-year contract. In 2006 he won the FA Cup and the Community Shield with the club .
In the summer of 2008 he moved to Portsmouth FC and in 2009 to his old club Tottenham Hotspur . There Crouch received a five-year contract.
In late August 2011, he moved to Stoke City . With 53 headed goals, he is (as of January 2019) the most successful headed scorer in the Premier League. After relegating to the second division with the club in the summer of 2018 , Crouch returned to the Premier League six months later when he moved to Burnley FC. After not receiving a new contract, he announced his resignation on July 12, 2019.
National team
Crouch was nominated for the English team for the U-20 World Cup in 1999; however, they were eliminated pointless and goalless in the preliminary round. At the U-21 European Championship in Switzerland in 2002, he was also in the team coached by David Platt and scored a goal.
England coach Sven-Göran Eriksson made Crouch's national team debut against Colombia in May 2005 . He scored his first goal against Uruguay in March 2006.
Crouch was a member of the English national team for the 2006 World Cup in Germany . Among other things, he scored the 1-0 against Trinidad and Tobago , whereby he, unnoticed by the referee, gained an unauthorized advantage by holding on to his opponent's hair.
In qualifying for the 2008 European Championships, for which England did not qualify, Crouch was the England team's top scorer with 5 goals. In the last qualifying game against Croatia, which the English lost 3-2, it was Crouch who scored the 2-2 equalizer in the 65th minute of the game. At that time England would have qualified for the competition.
After Crouch was not called up by England coach Capello for the European Championship qualifier against Switzerland at Wembley Stadium, he resigned as a national player.
