Peter Crouch said that he cannot keep the smile away from his face “after scoring a match winner against Chelsea in the legend game on Saturday in Angeldd.
A team of former Liverpool stars such as Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia and Dirk Kuyt returned to the annual game to collect donations for the LFC Foundation, and was in Chelsea 20 years after this memorable semi-final double header of the Champions League.
As in 2005, the game between the red and blues was missing on Saturday in the first period before the bank was introduced by the bank at halftime. Soon afterwards he opened the hits when he led a header perfectly into the back corner of a Florent Sinama Pongolle Cross before he managed to lure the ball over the Chelsea keeper Robert Green shortly afterwards and to secure a 2-0 victory for the team that was managed by Sir Kenny Daglish.

“To be honest, I can’t stop the smile from my face,” said the ex-driver after the match. “I had only hoped to get through the game to be honest. It is so nice to score a few goals. I am really very pleased because you just never think that they will even get the opportunity to play again at ANFELD. To achieve two at the Kopend, I’m so happy.”
Crouch previously revealed that his son supported by Liverpool was excited to pull his father on the red jersey again and, although they had not spoken before the press conference after the game and his family was present, made the moment special.
“First and foremost, it is about the foundation and collecting money,” said Crouch. “The number of people who were here today is really a recognition for the club and the fan base. But I also have my family here.
“My little boy had never seen me playing, he was only five, so I said to him:” I played, I swear, I promise! “So that he also sees it first -hand in Liverpool, it is a good moment for my family.
“It was really something special, I just don’t think so. I do the games, I do the comment and the expert, so I’m in the live games nearby, but you never think that you will get this chance again before a packaged Kop,” he continued. “There are more people here than I played. So it is something special to score a few goals and score victory. I’m very satisfied with everything.”
And to remember a first goal in a Liverpool shirt for 17 years, Crouch pulled out his brand-shaped robot celebration for the first time.
“You know what, people have to get bored. I didn’t want to do it, but so many children were not even born on the way when I last did the robot. You know what, you have to do it for them.
“Oh yes, 100% [I’m coming back next year]”, He added.” You won’t keep me away now. “
