Photo of the Day: The Life of Peter Crouch

By: Laurie | July 7th, 2008

I generally don’t like to give two photo posts back to back, but it’s only Chris and me this week, and he just Blackberry’d me to say that he had just watched a utility truck snip his cable and drive away. Thank you, utility company, for leaving me the only Offside blogger with internet access.

So I thought I’d share this photo of England player Peter Crouch as a stopgap, because we all need the occasional reminder that Life is Truly. Not. Fair. But it is good to know that Crouch himself recognizes his good fortune. Awhile back, when he was asked what he would be if not a footballer, he replied, “A virgin.”

(And, since I wanted to get that quote precisely right, my google search history now contains the phrase, “Peter Crouch virgin.” This gives me yet another reason to hope that I never do anything that would require the police or Child Protective Services to search my hard drive.)

But I digress. This photo does provide a nice segue into my next, which will be about transfer rumors. I know I’ve said I didn’t want to write about them, but it’s July. Resistance is futile.

  Hehe… That’s the 2nd best pic featuring Crouch, the other being his plane-landing-tackle(of course without clearance from Heathrow) on Mikel John Obi.

  i would like to point out that in order to be peter crouch’s wag you apparently have to wear stilettos (3″ min) at all times…so sometimes the good life requires sacrifices.

  Someone call the Met, someone’s stolen Crouchie’s arse! How will he be able to sit on the bench next year without it!?!

  Somehow I can’t see young Abby settling in at Portsmouth… unless she likes sailors… well any sailor has got to be better looking than ‘The Freak’!!

  I guess Crouchy’s not the only one having his nachos.

  Admit it: that was no utility truck. That was a peeved France fan getting back at Chris for his biased live-blogging during the eurocup. Might even have been RayRay himself…;^>
