Fans love Peter Crouch’s offer to recreate Cristiano Ronaldo pose

We might not have seen much of Peter Crouch on the pitch of late, but he's certainly keeping fans entertained in other ways.

His dance moves captivated us over the summer, and while he's not getting game time for Stoke City, he's enjoying being part of the action on Fifa 17. The England international's sideline in wisecracks is nothing new, of course. Who can forget the time he accused Luis Figo of photobombing him, or his reaction to one fan's unfortunate tattoo promise. Well, it seems the veteran striker has been at it again as he waits to add to his one Premier League start this season. On Friday afternoon, Cristiano Ronaldo posted a typically smouldering photo of himself, with as short a caption as possible, as he is wont to do. https://twitter.com/Cristiano/status/792031491735875584 Now, Crouch may be approaching the end of his career, and he may be better known for his dancing than his photoshoots, but you may remember the comment from him back in the day that if he wasn't a footballer he'd be... a virgin. The 35-year-old is happy to poke fun of himself, and so it proved with his response to Ronaldo's tweet. crouch Football fans across the globe tend to love Crouch's brand of self-deprecating humour, and so it proved with their replies to the striker. https://twitter.com/FUTDicko/status/792070055303471104 https://twitter.com/SawAndyy/status/792073727508934656 https://twitter.com/Ancelottied/status/792072249985597440 https://twitter.com/mbews85/status/792075823805267968 https://twitter.com/DivineDidier/status/792073287073423360 Some suggested extra elements to the photoshoot. https://twitter.com/Kevin_Nichol/status/792069933580619782 https://twitter.com/DKH7/status/792071623989948416 Even one of his Stoke teammates got in on the act. https://twitter.com/Charlie26Adam/status/792075529306402816 While one photoshop genius did some of his work for him. https://twitter.com/GeneralBoles/status/792076055590891520 Now, we're not sure how many retweets Crouch is demanding before he goes ahead with the recreation, but surely he can't be too far off the magic number.
