Crouchamaniaaaaaaaaa!

Hands outstretched, elbows rigid at right angles and jerkily moving to an imaginary beat, it is the goal celebration-cum-dance craze that is shaking the nation. From Burnham-on-Crouch to Crouch End, people are doing the Crouch.

PETER CROUCH AT BECKHAM's PARTY



The 6ft 7in England striker premiered his own unique version of robotics at the Beckhams' lavish World Cup party just over a week ago. While Wayne Rooney gingerly wiggled his metatarsal and Rio Ferdinand archly clicked his fingers on the mirrored dancefloor, the gangly Liverpool forward was head and shoulders above his peers as he shape-shifted to James Brown's funky beat.





Was it because people think he is a robotic player and only good for one thing - heading the ball - and then he scored a goal with his foot? [WATCH] Or was he saying "you can take the piss out of me for the way I dance (or for the way I look), but I don't really give a f*ck? Either way, some people can take a bit of stick and he is that sort of person. Hats off to the fella and lets hope we can see a full version of his Robo-dance after he scores England's winner on July 9th.

Here he is, the 6 ft 7 inches of LEGEND!
