He added: “I see centre forwards hanging around outside the box and it blows my mind, I just can’t get my head around it.

“I believe if you are a centre forward, you should be in the box, ready for the ball. 

That’s the way I have always played my game and that will never change.

”Along with his collection of headers, Crouch is also part of the exclusive Premier League 100-goal club.

He now has 105 efforts to his name, along with an impressive tally of 56 assists.

That contribution has been spread between spells at Aston Villa, Southampton, Liverpool, Portsmouth, Tottenham and Stoke.
