Peter Crouch spent three years with Liverpool and still has a link with our fans. 14 years after leaving the club, the striker thanked Jamie Carragher for that link.
Speaking on ‘That Peter Crouch Podcast’, the 41-year-old said: “When I got to Liverpool… Carragher helped me, most of the people in that crowd know them!
“I think he basically said [to friends and family] ‘fire him, support him, because he’s working very hard and he’s not going out right now, but he will.’

“Those trips, my dad swears blindly that they are the best moments of his life because Carragher’s old man and his companions all took care of him in Europe.
“That’s Liverpool, it’s a city but it’s a town and everyone sticks together no matter what. My dad felt a part of it and I felt a part of it, even now to this day I still feel a part of it and that’s special and it’s because of people like Jamie Carragher.”
It’s great to hear the love our former striker still has for the club, the city and one of his former teammates.
Some players have a great connection with the crowd and all those who watched the 6’7″ striker score overhead kicks and hat-tricks at Anfield will never forget his role at our club.
It’s great to know that love and adoration are mutual.
