@WarrenBonathan: How can you not love that man, he gets it.
@alok_TTID: Peter Crouch is the best ambassador for English football. Takes a joke on himself, always goes out of his way to make people feel better, and a great commentator too. I’m glad he’s a Spurs fella.
@taylor251073: @petercrouch absolute legend 👏👏👏
@DanReilly92: Don’t think we’ll ever get footballers looking this comically tall ever again sadly. Even the tall lads nowadays look like athletes, sad to see.
