Tottenham striker Peter Crouch says Spurs legend Paul Gascoigne was England's greatest EVER.

Crouch admits he grew up idolising Gazza.

He told the Mail on Sunday: "He was fantastic, the greatest England player ever. I was close to tears when he began to cry at Italia '90. He'd left Tottenham by the time I arrived but he was always a hero. He had something different, that's what made him so exciting. He made me want to play football."
