Peter Crouch has opened up on the 'devastating' boos that he received when making his England debut in 2005, and how having 'a few beers' with his father helped him through the toughest time of his career.
The former Liverpool and England striker admitted that he frequently felt that he was the butt of the joke throughout his career, and believed that fans were 'laughing' at him.
Speaking on Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast, Crouch revealed that he often needed to be 'superhuman' when playing for his country due to his appearance, standing at more than two metres tall.
