Life Journey

Peter James Crouch was born on January 30, 1981, in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England, into an upper-middle-class British household. Peter’s father worked in advertising, and when Peter was a year old, the family moved to Singapore for his father’s job. The family moved back to England after three years in Singapore, as his father rejected a job offer to work in Australia.

Peter grew up in Wembley, a locality filled with fans, and he too was bitten by the football bug. Peter’s thin and small frame, as well as his low self-confidence, kept him from playing for the most part, but due to his love for the game, he became a ball boy. He was a ball boy at Stamford Bridge and his parents thought he was extremely enthusiastic about the job.

He joined the school’s team during his middle school years and began playing the game. As a master of head goals, he began exploring professional training after making a name for himself at school. While waiting to sign a professional contract with Tottenham Hotspur, Peter participated in their youth program for some time and trained rigorously.
