Crouch: Becks can make hero

Peter Crouch has said that the crossing and balls from David Beckham could make Crouch an England legend in the game against Croatia on Wednesday. Crouch feels that Beckham can provide the threat to fire them to Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland.

Crouch is convinced his best chance of scoring the goals on Wednesday that would make him an England hero lie with Beckham.

"He's still one of the best at delivering from set-pieces or out wide, so for someone like me who scores the majority of my goals from crosses he certainly a player to have," Crouch said.

"He's a fantastic player for me. The last time I started for England against Estonia he created a goal for me.

"With someone like him, I just know I need to get into the box because, given half a yard, he is going to whip a cross in. An early cross is perfect for me and David always provides that."
