pickI don‘t usually read footballer memoirs, but I‘m glad I made an exception for this. Crouch has had a really interesting career, knows that he's not a typical footballer (his build, his skills, his career trajectory) and is very funny. It's written with Tom Fordyce and I don't know how that arrangement worked, but the end product sounds very Peter Crouch, and also not at all what you'd expect from a footballer's book.
On a sun lounger on holiday with my latest read. It‘s hilarious.
1. Peter Crouch - How to be a Footballer
2. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
3. The Lake House by Kate Morton

pickThis is so far from my usual reading it‘s practically a different hobby. Picked it up in a random queue a few weeks ago and have devoured it on my ferry crossing to Spain. He‘s knowledgable on his topic and at times laugh out loud self depreciating. I feel like I read half of it out loud to my husband which is a good measure of enjoyment!!
Yes I am tall
Yes I am 6‘7”
No the weather isn‘t different up here
No I don‘t play basketball
I‘m so glad we had this conversation
There are transfers when you think, whoa, he must have a good agent. Tal Ben Haim always got great moves. From Bolton to Chelsea, and then West Ham.
You‘re watching Milan one evening and Philippe Senderos pops up. Hang on, are there two Philippe Senderoses? He‘s failed at Arsenal, now he‘s with the multiple European champions?
