Peter Crouch reveals ‘horrible’ Tottenham interrogation ‘you couldn’t do now’ where stars found out about his sex life
PETER CROUCH has revealed he was once teased about his sex life during his career.
The former striker enjoyed a successful career playing for Liverpool, Tottenham and England.
But while at Spurs as a youth player he was on the receiving end of some harsh treatment from his seniors.
Crouch, 43, revealed members of the first-team mocked him over his sex life, and would pressure him to show off his kissing technique.
He said on That Peter Crouch Podcast: “I remember being in the Tottenham dressing room, going in to pick up my boots and they were like ‘Crouchy, what is your love life like?’
“And you’d have to stand there in front of like 20 first-team players and go ‘well, nothing’ and they’d go ‘are you a virgin?’ and you’d go ‘yeah at the moment’.
“They’d go ‘do you have a girlfriend, have you kissed one yet?’ and you’re standing there as they’re all absolutely buzzing off you as you tell them what you’ve achieved with the opposite sex. There’s nothing worse – horrible, horrible, horrible.
“It was horrible to be a part of. They would say things like ‘well how would you kiss a girl’ and you’d have to practise it on something.
“You know the back one, you’d have to show your technique. It’s not right. I hope it’s out of the game now, it wasn’t nice for a young lad to be in that environment.”
Co-host Steve Sidwell, who played for Reading and Chelsea, added: “You couldn’t do that now.”

He also recalled harsh treatment Chelsea players would dish out on youngsters, revealing some stars would lock youth team players in the dressing room and not let them out until they could make them laugh.
Crouch also shared his love of singing initiations, and said he was disappointed they have fallen out of fashion.
