Peter Crouch has revealed a funny story about how he enraged his wife, the popular Abbey Clancy, with a confusion about a Liverpool footballer whom the famous model mistook for a woman.

The 44-year-old, who played for Queens Park Rangers, Portsmouth, Aston Villa, Norwich City, Southampton, Liverpool, Tottenham, Stoke City and Burnley during his career, is now thriving as a television pundit and with his 'That Peter Crouch Podcast'.

Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy, who have two sons and two daughters together, share 'The Therapy Crouch', a podcast in which they talk about their relationship after more than 20 years together and 16 years of marriage.

Why did Abbey Clancy confuse goalkeeper Alisson Becker with a woman?

In his latest show, Crouch told his partner "my gripe with your jumping to conclusions".

"For example, last night we were watching the game and I said, 'Oh my God, Alisson is on fire lately!'" said the former footballer.

"Who the hell is she? Who is she? Alisson, what kind of name is that?" Abbey Clancy said, according to Crouch.

"'Who is she and why is she hot?' I said, 'Alisson Becker is the damn Liverpool goalkeeper. And he's been making some great saves,'" the former footballer had to clarify.
