"Peter Crouch made an unlikely return to the pitch at the weekend this time not as a player, but as mascot for non-league side Farnham Town FC. The former England striker towered over players, mascots, and even the match officials as he walked out ahead of Farnham's Southern League Premier Division South clash with Sholing. The stunt was a forfeit after Crouch finished bottom of his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) mini-league but for the record crowd at the Memorial Ground, it was anything but punishment."
"He took part in a half-time challenge, slotted home a goal, and broke out his famous robot celebration to the delight of fans. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sky Sports (@skysports) Crouch also posed for endless selfies, signed autographs, and even joined the other mascots for dinner. Farnham later hailed him as a class act, writing on Instagram: What a man @crouchy is! Threw himself into the experience and went above and beyond to make everyone's day!"
