Peter Crouch steps in to defend Steven Gerrard after fans SLAMMED his inclusion in the Premier League's new Hall of Fame - as the only non-title winner among seven legends - by hailing 'one of the best of all time'

Peter Crouch took aim at those who criticised Steven Gerrard's induction into the Premier League's Hall of Fame.

Gerrard became the seventh member enrolled into the Hall of Fame following his prestigious career at Liverpool.
