Peter Crouch hung up his boots last summer and the slim English striker became a legend. Now is the moment to take a look back at his career and out of all the great moments, he decided to stick with one in particular: the two minutes he played against Lionel Messi.
“There will come a point when I am able to tell my grandchildren that I shared a pitch with Messi. It might have only been two minutes in the 2007 Champions League, but it is in the official register of the tournament,” he replied when the ‘Daily Mail’ asked him about the highlight of his career.
It seems a lie that a footballer like him who played for Liverpool and Tottenham amongst others has only faced Barca twice.
