Peter Crouch has officially announced his retirement. May the robot celebration rest in peace.

The former England international defied all footballing logic with his slight physical frame and incredible height to enjoy a fine career in English football, and never more so than when he was at Liverpool.

The 6 foot 7 striker was the scorer of some audacious goals in his time at Anfield (like his perfect hat-trick against Arsenal) and was a firm fan favourite wherever he played.

After hearing the news Crouch had ended his playing career at the age of 38 and after 21 years as a professional footballer, Liverpool fans amongst others took to Twitter to pay their tributes to the striker.

Many supporters of the Merseyside club reminisced about the 38-year-old's unbelievable overhead kicks and even jokingly suggested that some of his wonder strikes for the club were worth three goals.

Plenty of Reds fans wished Crouch well in his future and thanked the "legend" for his time at the club, and revealed that the gangly forward had inspired them.
