Peter Crouch Hopes To Emulate Charlton And Lofthouse In South Africa

Fabio Capello has named Peter Crouch as England’s number nine for the World Cup campaign in South Africa. With 21 goals in 38 international appearances, Crouch’s record suggests he merits inclusion in that elite group of England legends to wear the number nine shirt that includes Bobby Charlton, Nat Lofthouse and Wayne Rooney.

Bobby Charlton is probably the player who first comes to mind when thinking of past England number nines. The midfielder was an integral part of Alf Ramsey’s 1966 World Cup-winning side, playing in all 6 of England’s matches scoring 3 goals along the way. Charlton remains England’s record goal scorer, with 49 goals in 106 appearances – including, of course, that thunderbolt strike against Mexico at the 1966 World Cup.

Although less well-remembered, Nat Lofthouse’s goal scoring record for England is truly remarkable. The former Bolton Wanderers forward played for Walter Winterbottom’s England side at the 1954 World Cup Finals in Switzerland and, over the course of a glittering international career, scored 30 goals in just 33 games.

Peter Crouch’s England teammate Wayne Rooney was the Three Lions number nine in Germany four years ago.  The United forward would probably be the first to admit that, after breaking a metatarsal shortly before the start of England’s World Cup campaign, he achieved less than expected in Germany – something he will no doubt be keen to put right this time around.

Crouch opened his World Cup account by grabbing the crucial winner in England’s group game against Trinidad and Tobago. Footballers and football supporters are notoriously superstitious, but few would read much into the fact that England’s number nine has failed to score at the last two World Cups. With his prolific record and proven ability to get goals when it counts, not many would bet against Crouch adding to his impressive goal tally in South Africa.
