Crouchy loved nothing more than strumming his banjo as a young lad...

When he first started on the road to becoming professional footballer, there were many who viewed Peter Crouch as a lanky daddy long-legs in human form who couldn't hit a cow on the arse with a banjo. It's been a long journey indeed for Mr Crouch, a road that has taken him via Tottenham, QPR, Portsmouth, Aston Villa, Norwich, Southampton, Liverpool, Portsmouth (again) and Tottenham (again).

But he has finally silenced his doubters and shown he is a lanky daddy long-legs in human form who can hit a cow on the arse with a banjo. Credit where credit is due. However, it seems that before he ever considered trying to make it in the game, he had more uses for a banjo other than trying to direct it onto the rear-end of a lovely Friersian. Check out the skill of the young Peter, he is like a non-inbred version of the wee guy from Deliverance. (He is on the left, by the way...)
