Crouch , 44, signed for the Reds in 2005 and was called up to the Three Lions for the first time that year.

Liverpool signed the striker from Southampton for £7million as he established himself as a top Premier League striker.

Off the pitch, Crouch was enjoying himself too as he splashed out on a new Aston Martin.

However, just days after buying it he took it back following a look from former Manchester United star Roy Keane while at the lights.

While speaking on his The Therapy Crouch podcast, the now-pundit insisted that Keane made him feel like a “t**t” in the car.

He said: “I bought an Aston Martin when I was kind of playing for Liverpool.

“I got in the England squad and I thought, yeah I have made it, I’ll get an Aston Martin, I deserve it.

“But I knew I looked like a t**t in it.

“And then I was driving around, I remember seeing Roy Keane at the lights.

“He just gave me a look of like what a d**khead. I had my arm out, bins on, listening to some garage.

“And he just looked at me like a piece of s**t. And I literally, with that look sold the car that week.

“It was one of the nicest cars like ever, but I had just started well as it was like a little bit too much.”

It is not the first time Crouch has mentioned the moment, having previously spoken about it on talkSPORT.

During that chat, Crouch admitted that he had only had the car a few days and that he sold it for £20,000 LESS than what he had bought it for.

Crouch’s wife, Abbey Clancy, reacted to the story from Crouch.

She added: “You’re not a flashy person who is really obsessed with cars.

“My favourite car Pete bought me, a vintage 1986 Mercedes convertible for my 30th birthday.

“That’s when you loved me.”

Crouch stayed at Liverpool until 2008, when he made the move to Portsmouth .

After one year on the South Coast, he then signed for Tottenham before going on to play for Stoke City and Burnley .

He earned 42 caps for England across his career, netting 22 goals.
