The Sun reports that the Tottenham striker was caught out after his girlfriend Abbey Clancy packed his bag for last month’s friendly against Egypt with two left shoes.
The 29-year-old realised his girlfriend’s mistake just before he boarded the team bus headed for Wembley and was forced to ask aides to rummage through lost property bins in the hope of finding a pair of matching size 12s.
Fortunately for the 6’7″ goal ace, they came up trumps and he was able to comply with England coach Fabio Capello’s strict smart dress code for the trip.
A source told The Sun: “Peter was pleased when Abbey offered to give him a hand. She’s very thoughtful, so she said she would take care of packing his outfit to travel to the stadium in.
“He didn’t think much more of it until he tried to slip his shoes on – and noticed a problem. Abbey had packed him two left shoes. He rang down to reception to see if they had anything suitable for him to wear from their lost property department.
“Finding size 12s is a tall order, but surprisingly they did manage to find him a pair. So Peter managed to look as smart as his team-mates for the big match.”
Crouch was on target twice against the Egyptians as England ran out 3-1 winners as part of their preparations for the summer’s World Cup in South Africa. The World Cup 2010 tickets of all matches are now available for sale.
