Lou Macari: Stoke hero Peter Crouch should be inspiration to rich...
How heartening to hear someone like Peter Crouch saying he still practices headers after all these years.It's no secret why the big man is still playing and earning big bucks at his age.He puts in the hard yards and has never once thought he'd arrived and had nothing left to learn.You just hope the example of players like Crouch rubs off on younger players around him on the training pitch or in the same building working in the Academy.I can understand Mark Hughes saying the shine was...

Stoke City 1 Hull City 0: Peter Crouch can have my record, says...
ALAN Shearer is ready to hand over his crown for most headed goals in the Premier League to Peter Crouch. Crouch drew level with Shearer at the top of the chart when he scored the only goal as Stoke beat Hull 1-0 at the Britannia Stadium yesterday. And Shearer does not think it will be long before the big Potter pulls clear on his own. It is a very good ball (from Charlie Adam) and a top class header, the former Blackburn and Newcastle front man said on Match of the...

Mike Pejic: It should be Peter Crouch of Stoke City AND England
PETER Crouch shouldn't just be in Stoke's team at Blackburn today - he should still be in the England team as well.Tomorrow, assuming Jon Walters is fit again, I'd play him just behind Crouch up front.Then I'd have Mame Diouf instead of Marko Arnautovic on one wing and Victor Moses on the other.That would give Stoke pace and trickery out wide against Blackburn to go with the experience and respective abilities of Walters and Crouch centrally.Everyone has been going on about Crouch scoring...

Robbie Earle: Head boy Peter Crouch flies the flag for dying art
PETER Crouch's form in the air this season has reminded me just why I went to scout him for Wimbledon some 15 years ago.It was a smart finish last night but there are few players out there who could have scored with that header against Newcastle United last Sunday, when he had to find that little gap over the goalkeeper, but under the bar.It was a masterclass in technique that we have seen throughout his long career, even if he did look a bit gangly when I ran the rule over him at Queens Park...
