Peter Crouch, the ex-Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur striker, recently revealed that he considers Chelsea legend John Terry as the most formidable defender he encountered throughout his professional football career.
Despite facing numerous top defenders on the field, the former England international singled out Terry as the toughest opponent he ever had to contend with.
During an interview on talkSPORT’s Hawksbee & Jacobs Show, Crouch shared his perspective:
“I always remember getting schooled by Tony Adams in one of my first games.
“I was at QPR. It was a cup game, it wasn’t Premier League. I remember Tony Adams and I think it would have been Steve Bould, maybe.
“I think over the years, Sol Campbell gave me a big test because he is so physically strong.
“But John Terry was probably the best of the bunch, I think.”
