Crouch aiming for England recall after sinking City with stunning strike
Posted Monday, March 26, 2012 by Dailymail

Stoke star Peter Crouch has not given up hope of winning an England recall for Euro 2012.

The former Liverpool and Tottenham striker reminded the country of his talents with a sensational goal in Stoke's 1-1 draw with title-chasing Manchester City in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday.

The 31-year-old has not played for England since scoring against France in November 2010 after falling out of favour with former manager Fabio Capello.
