When Peter Crouch moved from Southampton to Liverpool in 2005, he slept in a hotel during his first weeks in Beatles. And that’s where he met a receptionist, who found it very attractive.
Crouch even developed a little passion and decided to tell some of his new teammates about her. «She is beautiful. I think I have a hypothesis, ”he told them in training. Jamie Carragher thought that the whole team should hear the story and called the other players.
«I had to repeat the story. Carragher said, “Tell it, Crouchie.” And that’s what I did, ”recalls the former striker, who still made a new revelation. «I admitted that I had thought of it all day. But then I was told that this receptionist was the wife of Xabi Alonso, my new teammate.

It was not the desired beginning in the team, therefore. Fortunately, later that year, Crouch found her great love: in December 2005, she met the model Abbey Clancy in a disco where she worked. They were married in June 2011, shortly after the birth of their first child and today, the couple has two daughters and two children.
Crouch ended up spending three years at Liverpool. He played 85 games for the team and scored 22 goals. Currently, he often comments on Premier League on television and radio.
