Peter Crouch made an unlikely return to the pitch this weekend – this time not as a player, but as the mascot of non-league side Farnham Town FC.
The former England striker towered over players, mascots and even match officials as he walked out ahead of Farnham’s Southern League Premier Division clash with Sholing.
The stunt was a forfeit after Crouch finished last in his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) mini-league – but for the record crowd at the Memorial Ground, it was anything but a punishment.
Acclaimed by a comrade This podcast from Peter Crouch co-hosts Chris Stark and Steve Sidwell, the 6ft 7in former Liverpool and Spurs striker found himself completely stuck. He took part in a half-time challenge, scored a goal and broke out his famous robot celebration to the delight of the fans.
Crouch also posed for endless selfies, signed autographs and even joined the other mascots for dinner.
Farnham later hailed him as a class act, writing on Instagram: “What a man @crouchy is! He threw himself into the experience and did his best to please everyone!”
On the pitch, Farnham played out a 2-2 draw to extend their unbeaten start in the division – although it’s safe to say the biggest victory of the day was Crouchy’s dance moves.
