Currently holidaying in Amsterdam...
Taxi man: where are you from my friend?
Me: Stoke, near Manchester
Taxi man: I never hear of this
Me: Peter Crouch
Taxi man: Ah Peter Crouch! Stoke City!
Me: Yes that's right!
Taxi man: you also sign ..... errrrrm ....... Marco Van Ginkel and Ibrahim Affelay, right?
(He was a Vitesse fan and rates Van Ginkel massively. Said he was gonna watch Stoke this season because of him)
Anyway great lad is Peter, hope he doesn't leave! People talking about marquee signings and he was definitely one of them at the time.

Doesn't he like Erik then? A lot of Dutch fans don't, he was a bit of a dick in Holland at times apparently. Punched a glass window when he was sent off once and proper cut up his arm, wouldn't know it mind... Seems a lovely guy in a Stoke shirt! |

I had a similar conversation with a barman in Monaco on Thursday, I also met a couple of fellow Stokies during a Stadium Tour, what a garbage stadium they have there! |
