Peter Crouch made an unlikely return to the pitch at the weekend \u2013 this time not as a player, but as mascot for non-league side Farnham Town FC.<\/strong><\/p>\n The former England striker towered over players, mascots, and even the match officials as he walked out ahead of Farnham\u2019s Southern League Premier Division South clash with Sholing. <\/p>\n The stunt was a forfeit after Crouch finished bottom of his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) mini-league \u2013 but for the record crowd at the Memorial Ground, it was anything but punishment.<\/p>\n Cheered on by fellow That Peter Crouch Podcast<\/em> co-hosts Chris Stark and Steve Sidwell, the 6ft 7in ex-Liverpool and Spurs forward got fully stuck in. He took part in a half-time challenge, slotted home a goal, and broke out his famous robot celebration to the delight of fans.<\/p>\n Crouch also posed for endless selfies, signed autographs, and even joined the other mascots for dinner. <\/p>\n Farnham later hailed him as a class act, writing on Instagram: \u201cWhat a man @crouchy is! Threw himself into the experience and went above and beyond to make everyone\u2019s day!\u201d<\/p>\n On the pitch, Farnham played out a 2-2 draw to extend their unbeaten start to life in the division \u2013 though it\u2019s safe to say the biggest win of the day was Crouchy\u2019s dance moves.<\/p>\n
