Just watching GB play the United States in the 7 a side football and the commentator said one of the GB players was in the same youth team at QPR as Peter Crouch.

Didn't catch his name though.

[Raj]

[HammersmithR]

Armel Tchakounte?

He's not from GB. He is from the Cameroon I think.

He was a football player??

[Kirill]

He was a football player??

I never got that impression.

I went 6th form with him and played against him as a teenager. I remember he almost snapped the crossbar with a freekick once when we were about 14. I'd never seen a goal literally shake so much! Quality player.

Crouch didn't play in our youth team did he?

[HammersmithR]

Crouch didn't play in our youth team did he?

Yep, started off at Rangers. He's from Ealing. Gerry Francis took him to Spurs and then he came back to us.

[DeepcutHoop]

Ah, that'll be right.

My old and knackered memory letting me down as usual.

[TBLOCKRANGER]

I always thought he was spurs youth rather than ours.

Alistair Patrick-Heselton
Visited my sons school today and told the assembly how his career was ended after being in a car crash that saw him thrown through the windscreen of his mates car, that ended his footballing career.
His mate died in the accident, and Alistair was in a coma for months.

Son came back from school today and said a ex QPR player gave a talk, had never heard of him so searched on his name and this old thread came up on google.
