Peter Crouch has jokingly called for fans to stop sharing a video of a rather embarrassing moment that occurred on the golf course.
A group of men were enjoying a drink by the hole as Crouch lined up his tee shot.
They didn’t seem to know who it was but came to the conclusion that it was definitely a footballer.
And any suggestion that he was a golfer vanished as the former England star proceeded to flop the ball straight into the trees on the left.
The men broke into laughter after watching the mis-hit and unfortunately for Crouch one of them got it all on camera.
The clip quickly did the rounds on social media, garnering over three million views on X.
.
And Crouch then shared it himself, writing: ‘can everyone not share this pls. Kind regards.’
His tongue-in-cheek post racked up 55,000 likes in 24 hours as fans showed their appreciation for his good humour.
The ex-striker has a reputation for being one of the game’s great characters and he has continued to entertain since hanging up his boots.
