At last count, Crouch is 6' 7" and he's skinny as a rake so he looks about 7' tall. An obvious target man perhaps, but Crouch is surprisingly weak in the air and is likened more to the Tore Andre Flo finishing school of tall, skinny strikers rather than the Niall Quinn version. Struggled in the early season but goals during the past few weeks surely boosted his confidence. Was also part of David Platt's England side that went to the European Under-21 Championships in Switzerland in May 2002. Needs to eat more, though.
