“I've been at Stoke for eight years... I think I've had the same towel ...” — Peter Crouch Quote

“I've been at Stoke for eight years... I think I've had the same towel for almost eight years.”

“If I played badly as a kid, my dad would tell me, and my mum would say, 'You were brilliant today'. It's nice to have both: when I need a bit of confidence, I'll see her, and if I need to hear it straight, I'll see my dad.”

“I enjoy being different.”

“My ambitions are to be the Stoke number one and England number one, but there are other things I want to achieve in my career as well.”

“As soon as I was given the opportunity at Stoke it was head down, this is what I want. This is where I want to be, this is my opportunity and I was fully confident about taking it.”

“Whichever way the result goes, my 1,000th game will be at Stoke and I had great times there.”
