After analysing one of England’s future, we move on to someone who has excelled at the top level for almost 20 years. It is none other than our own ‘Crouchy’.

Crouch made a switch to Burnley from Championship side Stoke City on a contract until the end of the season. Sam Vokes moved in the opposite direction.

It is a huge compliment to the 38-year old’s fitness and attitude that a relegation-threatened side thinks of him as their potential matchwinner.

Crouch, who holds the record for the most number of headed goals in the Premiership, has enjoyed successful spells with the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool, Portsmouth and Stoke City. In fact, the 6 ft 7 in striker spent eight years at the bet365 stadium, with all appearances coming after the age of 30.

With a direct style of play under Sean Dyche, it will suit Peter Crouch and his experience is sure to come in handy for the youngsters.
