Macclesfield-born striker Peter Crouch moved to London at a young age with his family after a spell in Singapore and came up through our youth system but, unable to make his breakthrough, he joined Queens Park Rangers in 2000.

A Division One winner while on loan at Norwich in 2004 and FA Cup winner at Liverpool in 2006, the towering front man added a new, useful dimension to our attack when he returned following his second spell at Fratton Park.
