Peter Crouch is a retired English professional footballer whose net worth stands at $25 million in 2026. Over a 20-year career, he played for several clubs and earned 42 caps for the England national team between 2005 and 2010, participating in two FIFA World Cups. His career earnings are estimated at around $35 million (£27 million), with peak earnings occurring during his prime Premier League years. Crouch was born on January 30, 1981, in Macclesfield, England. When he was just one, his family relocated to Singapore due to his father’s new job in advertising. They returned to England three years later, initially staying at a YMCA in Tottenham before settling in Harrow on the Hill. His education took place at Roxeth Primary and North Ealing Primary schools, where he also played football with the Northolt Hotspurs. From 1991 to 1993, he played for Brentford’s youth team, and while attending Drayton Manor High School, he also played for the West Middlesex Colts. After a brief stint with Queens Park Rangers’ youth team, he joined Tottenham Hotspur’s youth setup. After three years in Tottenham Hotspur’s youth system, Crouch signed a professional contract with the club in the summer of 1998. However, he never made a first-team appearance and was instead loaned to Dulwich Hamlet and Sweden’s IFK Hässleholm. In the summer of 2000, he was sold to Queens Park Rangers, scoring ten league goals in the 2000-01 season. Despite his efforts, the club was relegated to the Second Division, leading to his transfer to Portsmouth, where he netted 18 league goals in the 2001-02 season. He then moved to Aston Villa, scoring on his home debut but failing to find the net in the following 18 appearances during the 2002-03 season. Loaned to Norwich City, he contributed four goals in 15 appearances, aiding the club’s promotion before returning to Aston Villa until July 2004. Crouch was subsequently sold to Southampton, where he had a standout season in 2004-05, scoring 16 goals in 33 appearances. Despite his performance, Southampton was relegated from the Premier League, prompting his transfer to Liverpool on a four-year contract. Initially struggling with no goals in his first four months, he eventually thrived, scoring 13 goals in 49 appearances during the 2005-06 season and helping Liverpool win the FA Cup. In the 2006-07 season, he scored the winning header in Liverpool’s FA Community Shield victory over Chelsea. Later that season, he netted his first European club competition goals in the UEFA Champions League, as Liverpool reached the final but lost to Milan. Crouch finished the 2006-07 season as Liverpool’s top scorer with 18 goals. In his third and final season with Liverpool in 2007-08, he contributed 11 goals in 36 appearances. In July 2008, Crouch rejoined Portsmouth, scoring 16 goals in 49 appearances before returning to Tottenham Hotspur for two full seasons. He scored 13 goals in 2009-10 and 11 goals in 2010-11, making a single appearance in the 2011-12 season before signing a four-year deal with Stoke City. In March 2012, he scored a long-distance volley against Manchester City, a goal he later described as the finest of his career. He finished his debut season with Stoke with 14 goals and was named the club’s Player of the Year. His form dipped in the 2012-13 season due to a serious mouth injury requiring surgery, but he rebounded in 2013-14, topping Stoke’s scoring charts with ten goals in 38 appearances. He repeated these stats in the 2014-15 season and signed a two-year contract extension in early 2015. In the 2015-16 season, Crouch had one of his least productive campaigns, scoring twice in 18 appearances, nine of which were as a substitute. His performance improved in 2016-17 with ten goals in 29 appearances, including his 100th Premier League goal, making him the oldest player to achieve this milestone. He signed a new contract with Stoke in early 2017 and became the club’s all-time leading Premier League scorer in the 2017-18 season with his 45th goal for the club, despite scoring only six that season. He extended his contract again in late 2017, but by the end of the season, Stoke was relegated to the Championship. In his final season with Stoke in 2018-19, he scored two goals before finishing his career at Burnley, where he made six appearances without finding the net. He announced his retirement from professional football in July 2019. Crouch’s international career began at the youth level, representing England’s under-20 team at the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship and the under-21 team at the 2002 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. He made his senior England debut in 2005 and played in his first FIFA World Cup the following year, where England was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Crouch was England’s top scorer during the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign. In 2010, he participated in his second and final FIFA World Cup but did not feature in England’s final group stage match or knockout stage defeat. Since retiring, Crouch has hosted the BBC One sports comedy panel show *Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer* during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, he joined the judging panel for the ITV reality competition series *The Masked Dancer*. Additionally, he co-hosts the entertainment and sports podcast *That Peter Crouch Podcast*. Crouch met model Abbey Clancy at a nightclub where she worked in late 2005. They began dating and married in 2011, and together they have two daughters, Sophia and Liberty, and two sons, Johnny and Jack. © 2026 Celebrity Net Worth / All Rights Reserved
