Crouch a tiger, heel turn WAG won
Has there ever been a better weekend for a couple on reality TV shows? Abbey Clancey won the Strictly Come Dancing glitterball trophy on the votes of the nation (whilst constantly fussing with her hair - even as the credits were rolling, the back of her head was still causing some mysterious irritation). All a long way from her days as a WAG (wife and girlfiends) participant in the Baden-Baden circus at the football World Cup in 2006 - or is it? She needs a word with her hair stylist.
Earlier in the day, her husband, Peter Crouch was in action in the pantomime that is the Premier League, with a tigerish (rather than Tigerish - this isn't Hull City) performance for his team Stoke City. Fashioning the chance for the first goal for the Potters and then, after Aston Villa equalised, scoring the winner at home that lifted his club into the top half of the table (for at least 24 hours). In the exhilaration after the match, he said he wouldn't give his wife any dancing tips as he only had 'the robot' in his locker. All such a long way from his days performing 'the robot' in a match versus Hungary in 2006 building up to the football World Cup a month later - or is it? Can Roy Hodgson continue to ignore him for international duty?
Rarely can both sides of a 'power couple' (no sniggering) have had such unadulterated pleasure on the same day. I'm happy for them.
