Tall Story
Peter Crouch is over 6 feet 7 inches tall and works really hard at his game but that doesnt make him an international. His height enables him to pose problems in the air for defenders and helps him to be a good target man but that doesnt make him an international. For one so tall, he has impressive control, holds the ball up well and brings others into play effectively but those attributes arent enough to make him an international.
So what is it exactly that makes Peter Crouch an international? Is it the fact that since he started as a Spurs trainee, his moves to QPR, Portsmouth, Aston Villa, Southampton and Liverpool have attracted transfer fees which altogether exceed £15 million? Is it his slender, beanpole frame? Is it his lack of genuine pace, or power, or aggression, or a ruthless streak?
Or is his unique selling point simply this hes the striker who tends not to score goals!
Over to you, Sven.
