"I reckon there's something special about being Newcastle's number nine, Crouch said (h/t Chronicle). Whenever I go up there, I feel like it's a football city and when I think of the old centre forwards that have played well for Newcastle, you're like the hero, aren't you? If I had scored goals for Newcastle Even the music before the game they play up at Newcastle."
"I've always enjoyed playing as an away player there. They understand football. They live and breathe it. If I had gone in just after that Alan Shearer phase, I would have been at a good age then, but these things don't work out. It's all hypothetical, but if I had to pick one club to play for, it would have been Newcastle."
Peter Crouch expressed a clear preference to have played for Newcastle United, praising the city and club atmosphere. He described Newcastle as a footballing city where centre forwards are treated like heroes and where fans live and breathe the game. He enjoyed playing there as an away player and highlighted the pre-match music and atmosphere. Crouch reflected that arriving just after the Alan Shearer era would have matched his age, but acknowledged the hypothetical nature of that scenario. He finished a successful Premier League career noted for goal scoring, professionalism, and strong aerial presence, and nearly joined Sunderland in 2009 before choosing Tottenham after Harry Redknapp's call.
