Peter Crouch once playfully suggested that his youngest son with model wife Abbey Clancy could be named after former Liverpool ace Divock Origi.

In 2019, just as Tottenham and the Reds, two of Crouch's previous clubs, faced off in the Champions League final, the couple greeted their newest addition.

Crouch's son celebrates his sixth birthday this Tuesday, though his name was subject to playful suggestions at the hands of his father, who even admitted that Samrat, the name of his favourite curry house, was being considered.

"One of the bookies is taking bets on names for my little one.

Harry is top," he shared on That Peter Crouch Podcast.

"And at 100/1 was Samrat.

"I've had a good few people saying, 'You've got to do it' - Samrat Crouch.

Shane is actually bigger odds than Samrat."

When probed if his wife Abbey would agree to such a unique name, Crouch responded with a hint of sarcasm, admitting: "She'd be all right with it, yeah."
