Peter Crouch signs with Pompey

Written by Sarah on 11 July 2008

More exciting new from down south! England footballer Peter Crouch has officially signed with Portsmouth FC.

Manager Harry Redknapp looked like the cat that got the cream at today’s press conference when the news was announced. Redknapp went on to say how valuable Crouch would be to his FA Cup winning side. Crouch himself said that he felt like he was coming home. The 27-year old first played for them in 2001 where he scored 19 times in 39 matches before being sold to Aston Villa for £5 million. The figure he went for today was undisclosed but one can only guess it was a massive amount. You can catch all the interviews here.
