Can't see him scoring vs Terry. From this drunk's memory... other than the community shield he has stuggled and Terry's had him in his back pocket

I said this last night - imagine if you'd have told Crouch about 4 years ago when he'd been f*cked off by the likes of Villa and Spurs and struggled to make an impact at about 5 average clubs, that he'd be playing in a Champions League semi final and be in with a chance of Champions League top goalscorer a few years later.

 

It's quite a story; ridiculed for his freakish height, rejected over and over again only to be given a chance by a wise old Spanish bloke everyone said must be crazy, then repay his faith by reaching the pinnacle of the game with a historic club and end up with an extremely fit if completely nutty bird who drove him mad.

 

I think a film should be made, it's a proper Hollywood rags to riches story: 'Crouching Crouch, Hidden Crouch'. Cheech Marin to play Benitez, the bloke from Andre the Giant to play the starring role. Ricky Tomlinson to play David Moores and say 'my a***' when Rafa asks him for the money to buy Crouch.

Eddy Murphy whited up and on stilts to play Crouch.

I'm with that idea - he could also play Pako Ayerestan, and in one hilarious scene they talk jive to each other at training with some clever camera work then Crouch does the robot all the way into the changing rooms.

Henry was less (£10-11M I seem to recall)

Ronaldo was less (£12-13M)

Lampard was less (£11M)

 

My figures are from memory, as I couldn't be bothered to look it up. Even though you have a couple of prices too high, your point still stands about Crouch's value.
