That Peter Crouch Film: Documentary launched about former Pompey and England footballer - how to watch

That Peter Crouch Film, is an in-depth look at one of modern football’s most unique and beloved stars, sharing exclusive insight into his life’s most defining moments and struggles, from being jeered by fans during his professional debut to meeting his wife, Abbey.

Belittled for his height and shunted from club to club, the film explores the player's long, arduous journey to reach the top – filled with twists, stumbling blocks, self-doubt, and alienation and after nearly 25 years since signing his first professional contract, Peter Crouch asks himself… how did he get here?

The documentary includes an interview with former Pompey manager Harry Redknapp who has managed Crouch a number of times during his career. Crouch first signed for Portsmouth in the summer of 2001 in a transfer deal worth £1.5 million at a time when Harry Redknapp was Pompey’s director of football, before joining Aston Villa in March 2002 for £5 million. He then went on to play for Norwich City, Southampton and Liverpool before signing for Pompey again for a second time in 2008 – with Redknapp as manager. The following season Crouch moved to Tottenham Hotspur and also played for Stoke City and Burnley where he ended his playing career.

During his career Crouch made over 460 appearances on the pitch, with 42 international caps under his belt, scoring 22 goals for England. He also created a celebration that would pass into popular culture: The Robot.

He said: ‘When I was a teenager, or even a player, I’d have laughed you out of the room if you’d told me that I would have a film made about my career in football!

‘It’s an honour that this film has been made and hopefully it brings a smile to people’s faces.’
