Peter Crouch Quotations

We were heartbroken to lose in the last minute at Old Trafford in the league and so this makes up for that and I thought we deserved it overall.

We know Peter can keep the ball and give time to the others to go forward.

Once you get a couple they seem to go in a lot easier.

This is a big lift for me because I was devastated on Friday. It is not every day you get a chance to make your England debut and to miss out against America was a big blow.

That's probably the biggest goal of my career. I thought we deserved it overall. We competed with them, played at a high tempo and probably created more chances.

Once I heard of their interest in me it was hard not to think about what it would be like to pull on the famous red shirt and play in front of the Kop, but I was also very aware of my responsibilities towards Southampton,

I'm really looking forward to the derby and can't wait and we go there with a lot of confidence.

I'm obviously pleased to score today, it was bugging me a bit.

I had doubts about whether I would make it or not but I've come through training fine,

I feel comfortable now, although I am new to the Champions League. There is a lot to learn from the manager and from the players here and I am confident I can do that. I am definitely picking things up and I think I will become a better player.

I think I was 5ft 9in at birth.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe I was good enough to be here and hopefully I can perform well for my club and try and get to the World Cup.

I am thrilled to be joining a club as prestigious and successful as Liverpool.

If I wasn't a footballer, I would be a virgin

I've got my own targets... To establish myself in the team and once you are a regular for Liverpool then England, recognition comes from that and hopefully this will prove the case.

Had I not become a footballer, I think I would have been a virgin.

The first one took a big slice of luck, obviously, but I'm really pleased.
