Peter Crouch admits he has regrets leaving Liverpool.

Crouch quit the Reds for Portsmouth in 2008.

He told the Daily Mail: "The one thing that niggles away at me is leaving Liverpool in 2008.

"Rafa Benitez was happy to let me go and I was only ever going to be a Plan B.

“One of the reasons I went to Portsmouth was because Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres were such a dynamic partnership but, 18 months later, when I saw Andriy Voronin and David Ngog getting opportunities, it made me wish I had stayed.

“You don't leave a club like Liverpool easily."
