Peter Crouch has announced that he is retiring from football.

The 38-year-old played a total of 468 Premier League matches for Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Southampton, Liverpool, Portsmouth, Stoke City and most recently, Burnley.

The striker scored 108 goals in the top flight, of which a Premier League record 53 were scored with his head, while he also provided 58 assists.

"After a lot of deliberation this summer I have decided to retire from football," he announced in a statement on Twitter. "Our wonderful game has given me everything.

"I'm so thankful to everyone who helped me get there and to help me stay there for so long."

Crouch is one of only 28 players to have recorded 100 or more Premier League goals.

Iconic player. I can still remember the goal he scored against Man City that won Goal of the season that year. From the corner angle, he chested the ball, and with a volley boom, he scored. Could have cost Man city the league that season. Hugely underrated player

Crouch that year, any crossing is a goal, especially from Pennant, Babel or Benayoun. Men them, when Benitez was Benitez before his village people remembered to pay him a visit.

Daysis to you Steven Gerard, from your loyal fan and Liverpool ex-fan.
