I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Now, it's time for Crouch to play for Spurs for the second time.

Of course, the first time can't be counted. After all, he didn't play any game on behalf of Tottenham and was loaned out.

After that, the 31-year-old Crouch was not satisfied with being a substitute for Tottenham, so he moved to Stoke City and played until 2018. Then at the age of 36, he moved to Premier League Burnley. Endley FC and hung up his boots at Burnley FC.

Crouch is also a veritable transfer king, and he basically transfers to mid-to-lower teams.

Crouch also broke Ryan Giggs' record as the oldest 100-goal scorer in the Premier League and became the oldest 100-goal scorer in the Premier League.

Throughout Crouch's entire career, he was basically in the position of a firefighter. Many disadvantaged teams have undergone earth-shaking reversals under Crouch's arrival.

This is why many weak teams regard Crouch as a Hall of Fame player.

Of course, because he has played in a small club for a long time, Crouch obviously has world-class standards, but he cannot compare with world-class players.

Crouch's only two honors were won during his time with Liverpool - an FA Cup championship and a Community Shield championship.

But the peak scenes created by Crouch are really too numerous to count.

The really weird thing about Crouch is not that he always likes to transfer to lower-level teams, but his private life.

Logically speaking, with Crouch's worth, what kind of girlfriend can't he find? But it happened that Crouch was obsessed with the hooker Abby Clancy.

Abbie Clancy was already famous in the bar at the age of 16 and often took drugs. But Crouch just loved her, even though Abbie Clancy took advantage of Crouch's participation in the 06 World Cup. The matter of renting a house with her ex-boyfriend and going to a bar for a party was exposed by the media, but Crouch still chose to forgive Abby Clancy.

Crouch said that people always make mistakes.

Then, in 2010, Crouch was exposed by the media that Crouch spent 900 pounds on a 19-year-old girl named Monica during a game in Spain, and parked the car on the main road before arriving at the hotel. I was shocked in the car, and then I went to the hotel and scored twice, a hat-trick.

Abbey Clancy said people make mistakes.

This is not because of Abby Clancy's conscience. The main reason is that Abby Clancy's reputation is completely dependent on Crouch. Without Crouch, she is nothing, so Abby Clancy is very Place it clearly.

Besides, Crouch was only exposed, and there were many others who were not exposed.

A decent person like Rooney's wife can tolerate it, but with Abi's background, what can't he tolerate?

But no matter what, the pairing of Crouch and Abi is really weird enough.

Another striker, Jermain Defoe, is also a big oddity.

Jermain Defoe is 28 years old this year. He has been selected for the England national team 44 times and scored 12 goals. He can be considered a very strong shooter.

Defoe is 170cm tall and weighs 66kg. He is a technical and fast striker. He has very good awareness, runs suddenly and flexibly without the ball, has superb shooting skills and has abundant physical fitness. Although he is not confrontational enough and his heading is also very poor. But with Crouch here, there is no need for him to header the ball at all.

Defoe's biggest characteristic is that he starts very suddenly and penetrates very fast. He can often perform one-on-one one-on-one situations. Moreover, Defoe's shooting skills are very high and his scoring rate is naturally high. He is a typical assassin player. Defoe was born in London. When he was a child, he played for the Senrab team in the amateur youth league "Sunday League". Don't underestimate this amateur team in the youth league. This team is a star-making machine, such as Bowyer, Terry, Ashley Cole, Ledley King and other stars have all been trained in this amateur youth team Senrab.

Defoe was spotted by Charlton when he was 14 years old, and was sent to the National Football School in the name of Charlton Football Club. However, two years later, Defoe signed a contract with the Hammers West Ham United, which directly It pissed off the Charlton fans.

But at that time, no one called Defoe a little traitor.

Defoe joined the West Ham United U19 team, where he met his mentor, Redknapp, and benefited a lot from Redknapp's guidance.

Redknapp also admired Defoe's abilities very much. Defoe was promoted to the first team before Redknapp left.

After Lao Lei left, West Ham United's performance began to decline rapidly, and Defoe did not get many playing opportunities.

At the end of the 02-03 season, Defoe contributed 11 goals to West Ham United as a substitute, but he still could not change the fate of West Ham United's relegation.

Within 24 hours after West Ham United was confirmed to be relegated, the little traitor Defoe quickly submitted a transfer application and transferred to Tottenham, which was in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League at the time, for a price of 700 million pounds.

This attitude offended Hammers fans, so every time Defoe returned to West Ham's home ground as a guest, he would hear derisive chants of "You're just a short Paul Ince".

"Paul Ince" is the first black captain in the history of the England national team, and he is also the most hated traitor in the hearts of West Ham United fans.

The first team Paul Ince played for was West Ham United. Starting in 1986, Paul Ince played for 4 consecutive seasons at West Ham United. With his excellent skills, broad vision and super organization, Ability has become the absolute core of West Ham United, and has also been designated as not for sale by the West Ham United club.

However, Paul Ince's outstanding performance attracted the attention of Premier League giants Manchester United, who offered the young Paul Ince an extremely attractive contract.

West Ham United certainly does not want to sell Paul Ince. Everyone in the club knows that only by retaining Paul Ince can the team have hope.

However, Paul Ince did not renew his contract with West Ham United. Instead, he reached a transfer agreement with Manchester City privately. And before the contract period with West Ham United was expired, he couldn't wait to wear Manchester United's jersey. The jersey was shown to reporters.

This immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Hammers fans, who began to boo Paul Ince.

Paul Ince's response was straightforward enough, that is, during the game for West Ham United, he stood in the middle of the pitch with his hands in his pockets and played passively.

In the end, Paul Ince moved to Manchester United as a free agent after the end of his contract and witnessed the rise of the Manchester United dynasty.

The free transfer of Paul Ince also broke the heart of West Ham United and did not receive a penny.

To this day, fans of West Ham United and the Hammers cannot forgive Paul Ince.

Of course, Defoe was also considered a Paul Ince-style "little traitor" by Hammers fans.
