Peter Crouch Parents Were 21 Years Old When He Was Born And Moved To Asia Two Years After His Birth
Peter Crouch was born to parents, Jayne And Bruce Crouch, when they were 21 years old. His father, Bruce, uprooted their family and relocated to Singapore right after his birth.
After receiving a job in Southeast Asia, Bruce accepted a position with an advertising firm knowing it was an opportunity of a lifetime.
After nearly three years of stay in the South East country, his parents eventually made their way back to England after Bruce Crouch turned down the opportunity to take a job in Australia.
The Crouch family were avid Chelsea fans, and when he was younger, Peter went to a few Chelsea games with his parents. At ten years old, he started working as a ball boy at Stamford Bridge.
Crouch recently announced he and opera artist Paul Potts have collaborated on an album about football chants that will be released for Christmas.
Peter Crouch Parents Jayne And Bruce Crouch Were In Their Early 20s With Limited Savings When He Was Born
Peter Crouch was born in a middle-class family to parents, Bruce and Jayne Crouch. His parents were in their early 20s and could not afford to send him to private school.
Though Peter was born in Macclesfield, Cheshire, he relocated with his family to Singapore after his father, Bruce Crouch, was offered a job in one of Singapore’s advertising agencies. The pay was good, so he could not reject the offer. Peter was barely two years old at that time.
According to his parents, the first word he spoke was in Mandarin. Once, when they went on a trip to Malaysia, the family were close to being kidnapped by the local Communist Party guerrillas.
After living in Singapore and working there for three years, they decided to return to England, where they were born and raised, to make a life for themselves there.
When they returned to London, their savings had run to the ground, and they could not afford to stay someplace nice. For six months, they stayed in a YMCA hostel on Tottenham Court Road.

While his father was in the process of returning to England, he was presented with a job opportunity in Australia; however, he chose not to accept the position since he had already decided, together with his wife Jayne and son Peter, that the three of them would go back to England.

After that, they moved to Tottenham for a while before deciding to make their permanent home in Harrow on the Hill. His parents thought Peter was highly excited about his football passion while working as a ball boy at Stamford Bridge.

Despite his busy schedule, Bruce would always be there to watch Peter’s games. Peter’s father has always known about his ability to become someone great if he put in the hard work.

Slowly he started to grow and develop the necessary skills to be a football player. His parents could not be more proud of what their son would be. Peter, since his childhood, was towering in height. Because of his tall physical attribute, he was bullied by opposition team members a lot.
More upsetting for his father, Bruce, who is just a few inches short of Peter, that he has been forced to make a concerted effort to control his anger while listening to his kid being labeled a “freak” on many football fields.
