Peter Crouch is looking forward to donning the red shirt of Liverpool once again on Saturday for the LFC Foundation’s annual charity legends’ game, but he might not be the most excited in the Crouch household on the night before the big match.

It’s his five-year-old son who is eagerly anticipating the clash with a team of former Chelsea stars, even more so than dad.

The LFC Foundation supported over 127,000 people last year through its programmes, which aim to tackle social inequalities in the local communities.

This year’s match against Chelsea will raise funds for health initiatives, which provide physical and mental wellbeing programmes for people of all ages across Liverpool and support people to live a healthy lifestyle.

“I've still got lots of friends in and around the city,” said Crouch.

Peter Crouch spent three years at Liverpool during his career.

During a glittering career, Crouch played for 12 clubs, but it’s Liverpool who has stuck with the 44-year-old and his family.

“He carried me in the three years that I've played here, so hopefully he can do the same again tomorrow,” he added, in typically jovial fashion.

It’s not just players on the Red side who Crouch is looking forward to reconnecting with and he joked that a pre-match request to Robert Huth not to kick him might fall on deaf ears.
