2 bits stand out of this interview for me

People yelling stuff is one of the hazards of the occupation but Crouch, it is fair to say, gets more than most. "I went to Miami with a few mates after the World Cup," he recalls. "I used to go to America and nobody would know who I was but this time we walked past a bar and someone shouted, 'Oi, robot boy!' I carried on walking but my mate stopped. 'Isn't that Mickey Rourke shouting?' he said. And there was Mickey Rourke doing the robot dance. That's when I knew I had made it"

"I remember after I had signed for Liverpool, I didn't score for 18 games and all the jokes, the constant sniping, that really affected me. My friends and family were telling me it would all work out but, to be honest, I stopped believing them. I was so frustrated a part of me was thinking I didn't want to be at Liverpool any longer.


if crouch thinks he's made it then and thats it then i can't see rafa being too happy about it (as i am not)

and also, who wants to have "made it" because a celebrity knows you for a stupid dance

PLUS, the one person who played you for 18 games straight when the country was laughing at Crouch doesn't even get a mention.

now i'm sure that the journo could "leave out" any quotes about Rafa, but with the guardian being fairly reputable as papers go i can't see that.

i am more and more convinced he'll be playing for a UEFA cup team by the end of january

I just think Rafa brought in Crouch to do a job that suited our style of players back then, now with better backing Rafa can onto the next level.

If Crouch was good in the air i'd think he have chance but this hasn't improved since he's arrived.

And like rpeorts in the papers we should take auto biogs with a pinch of salt they are designed to sensationalise.

Has anyone here read Crouch's book? I'm tempted to get it but can't see the point of a footballer writing an autobiography at 26 years old.

It's probably got some interesting stuff about his early days, he must've had a real hard time as a youngster.

Anyone got it?

Things don't always come across when written down as they would do when spoken. I think you can read his comments about 'making it' a lot more sympathetically if you want to. Equally, if you want to find fault with it, you can as, indeed, you did.

[rage]

he's on his way, clearly not happy. i'd take 12 million in january and put it towards a winger

ok i take your points and it is disappointing that he thinks he made due to that dance, but the article does seem to focus more on his bookand the upcoming England matches.

And you are right, not one word of support for Rafa

You missed out the 6th and the 7th reasons:

[sean_lfc]

To come out with 'He is a ******' really takes the piss.

It's like a ****ing playground in here
