It took just a stare from the Manchester United legend to convince Crouch he should not be driving an Aston Martin!

Peter Crouch told a brilliant tale involving Roy Keane on talkSPORT.

The former England, Liverpool and Tottenham striker recalled how he was once shamed into selling his car – an Aston Martin – just a few days after buying it all because of a chance run-in with ex-Manchester United captain Keane.

Speaking to Georgie Bingham, the 37-year-old said: “I’d always been quite reserved with my car choices but I was playing for Liverpool, I was playing for England and I thought ‘you know, I can make the step up now, I’m worthy’, so I bought an Aston Martin.

“I was only four or five days in driving it, I was a little bit embarrassed anyway, I didn’t feel comfortable in it all. I was driving through Cheshire, pulled up at some lights alongside Roy Keane and he looked at me like I was something on the bottom of his shoe! I had the shades on, listening to garage music, thinking I was the man and he firmly let me know I wasn’t the man!

“As he sped off, I looked at myself in the mirror and I sold the car that week. I took about a 20 grand hit on it.”
