Peter Crouch begs fans not to share hilarious clip of former England star attempting to play golf
Peter Crouch has jokingly called for fans to stop sharing a video of a rather embarrassing moment that occurred on the golf course.
A group of men were enjoying a drink by the hole as Crouch lined up his tee shot.
They didn't seem to know who it was but came to the conclusion that it was definitely a footballer.
And any suggestion that he was a golfer vanished as the former England star proceeded to flop the ball straight into the trees on the left.
The men broke into laughter after watching the mis-hit and unfortunately for Crouch one of them got it all on camera.
The clip quickly did the rounds on social media, garnering over three million views on X.
Can everyone not share this pls
Kind regards https://t.co/n3i8AnOJR4

.
And Crouch then shared it himself, writing: 'can everyone not share this pls. Kind regards.'
His tongue-in-cheek post racked up 55,000 likes in 24 hours as fans showed their appreciation for his good humour.
The ex-striker has a reputation for being one of the game's great characters and he has continued to entertain since hanging up his boots.

Rangers appoint new boss Russell Martin on three-year contract
Rangers have confirmed the appointment of Russell Martin as the club's new head coach. The 39-year-old former MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton boss has signed a three-year contract. He will be joined at Ibrox by assistant head coach Matt Gill and performance coach Rhys Owen. Martin guided Southampton to promotion to the Premier League last year but was sacked in December following one win from their first 16 games. Rangers finished last season under the caretaker management of former captain Barry Ferguson, having dismissed Philippe Clement in February. Ex-Scotland defender Martin, who had a short loan spell as a player at Rangers in 2018, is tasked with wrestling power back from the other side of Glasgow after Celtic's stranglehold on Scottish football continued with a 13th William Hill Premiership title in 14 seasons. 'From my time here, I had a taste of how special this club is, the expectation, the passion and the history,' he told the club's website. 'Now, as I return, I'm determined to bring success back, for the supporters, the players, and everyone inside this club. 'There's a lot to be done, but the goal is clear: win matches, win trophies and give Rangers fans a team that they can be proud of.' Martin's arrival is the latest in a series of major changes at the club. An American consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises secured a majority shareholding on Friday, while new sporting director Kevin Thelwell officially began work on Monday. Rangers chief executive Patrick Stewart, who led the recruitment process alongside Thelwell, said: 'Our criteria for our next coach were clear: we wanted a coach who will excel in terms of how we want to play, improve our culture, develop our squad, and ultimately win matches. Russell was the standout candidate.'

Spain vs France prediction: La Roja to advance to Nations League final with narrow win?
Spain vs France tips: Spain to win by one goal - 3/1 Bet365 Lamine Yamal to score or assist - 8/5 William Hill The second of the Nations League semi-finals takes place on Thursday when Spain and France go head-to-head in Stuttgart for a place in Sunday's final. Spain are the current holders of the competition, beating Croatia in the 2023 final, and they were the beaten finalists two years before when these two sides met in Italy. After a goalless first half, Mikel Oyarzabal gave Spain the lead on 64 minutes before Karim Benzema equalised two minutes later. Kylian Mbappe scored the winner with 10 minutes to go to win the title for France. The two sides also met in the semi-finals of Euro 2024, and Spain got the ultimate revenge, securing a 2-1 win, with all three goals coming in the opening 30 minutes. Randall Kolo Muani gave France the lead with just nine minutes on the clock, but two goals in four minutes from player of the match Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo secured the Spaniards' place in the final - and we all know what happened in that one. Football betting sites are all backing Spain to come out on top again at odds of 6/4, while you can get 11/5 on a France win and 43/19 on the game to finish all square after 90 minutes. Spain vs France prediction: La Roja to reach the final again Didier Deschamps' side qualified for the semi-final by winning group A2 on goal difference after finishing level on points with Italy after both sides won four, drew one and lost one. But they needed penalties to get through the quarter-final stage when they bounced back from losing the first leg against Croatia 2-0 to win their home leg by the same scoreline, thanks to goals from Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele. Mike Maignan saved a decisive penalty before Dayot Upamecano scored his to secure a 5-4 shootout win. Spain were the clear winners of A4, winning five and drawing the other one of their six matches and conceding just four goals. They also needed a penalty shootout to reach the last four after a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands in Rotterdam was followed by a 3-3 draw in Valencia. Pedri converted the winning penalty after Unai Simon saved from Donyell Malen. The success of Paris Saint Germain and Inter Milan in the Champions League could prove France's downfall with seven players involved in Saturday's final, and some of them could well be still celebrating. Lucas Hernandez, Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaire-Emery, Dembele, Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Pavard all featured on Saturday, so we'll have to wait and see how Deschamps uses them on Thursday. Spain vs France betting tips: Yamal to star again It's been quite a season for Lamine Yamal, who at just 17 years old has scored 19 goals this season for club and country in 60 games. He has also assisted with 20 more goals to help Spain to this semi-final and Barcelona to their 28th La Liga title. Betting sites are offering 12/1 on him scoring first or 11/2 at any time, but if you want to hedge your bets, you can get 8/5 on him scoring or assisting. Please Gamble Responsibly When having a bet, it's vital to practice responsible gambling. Betting can be addictive and it's important to stay in control of your betting. Never treat gambling as a way to make money, never bet more than you can afford and when the fun stops, stop. Gambling sites offer punters tools, like deposit limits, profit and loss trackers and self-exclusion options, to help them stay in control. But if you ever feel like you need help or advice on gambling addiction, don't hesitate to contact one of the charities or organisations below.
