He is 6ft 7in tall but Peter Crouch's height is not the only thing
that makes the Liverpool and England striker different: he has a
football story like no other player in the modern game. Crouch has
risen from humble beginnings at non-league Dulwich Hamlet on loan
to be an England striker and the first to score ten international
goals in a calendar year. His career has not been the smooth
journey from teen prodigy to Premiership star enjoyed by so many of
his England team-mates. Booed by England fans in October 2005,
Crouch had the same supporters on their feet with a hat-trick for
his country eight months later. WALKING TALL is about a footballer
who has always found himself under intense scrutiny - for the way
he looks as much as his ability on the pitch. Crouch's story is
also about his constant battle to win over the doubters. He talks
about the managers who have backed him - as well as those who have
written him off - and relives the pain of rejection at Aston Villa,
contrasted with the elation of his GBP7 million transfer to
Liverpool just one year later in the summer of 2005. Crouch was a
key figure in England's 2006 World Cup campaign and in WALKING TALL
he talks about his famous robot dance as well as the goals and the
disappointments of that summer in Germany. For Crouch, the journey
continues under Rafael Benitez at Anfield and with Fabio Capello's
England team. Funny, honest and open, WALKING TALL is the story of
an unlikely hero.
