Ten Up for a Real One-Off

You would not expect a man who is currently the leading goal scorer in international football to have the height of a Harlem Globetrotter coupled with a physique reminiscent of a crane fly – but Liverpool’s Peter Crouch is hardly your archetypal striker. Whether it is in spite of his physical attributes or because of them, right now the England front man boasts an almost unbelievable 10 goals in 10 games, including 7 in 3 appearances at Old Trafford, the latest of which consisted of a slick opening goal and a floppy second half header against Andorra.

So presumably he is being encouraged to carry on doing what he has been doing. Whatever that may be.
