Redknapp backs Crouch

Last updated : 10 October 2005 By Al Campbell
Redknapp was a team-mate of Crouch at Southampton last season and the former Liverpool captain believes the big striker will be a huge success with Liverpool and England.

"Peter has got the feet of a Wayne Rooney or a Ronaldo in that he has a lot of skills. But I don't think he realised how well he could play. Now he does," says Redknapp seriously.
 
"People laughed when I said he should play for England but I always knew he would offer something. He's better than just making a nuisance of himself. That's unfair, because he is a genuinely good footballer."
