PETER CROUCH was left red-faced after hilariously slipping live on TV while attempting the crossbar challenge at Molineux.<\/strong><\/p>\n The much-loved former Liverpool striker is working as a pundit for his old club\u2019s clash at Wolves this lunchtime.<\/p>\n Crouch, 42, was joined on the TNT Sports panel by his ex-England team Joe Cole and the pair got the opportunity pre-match to show that they still possessed some of their magic.<\/p>\n Chelsea and West Ham legend Cole, 41, stepped up first to attempt the crossbar challenge out on the Molineux pitch, with his effort too low for the woodwork.<\/p>\n However, Crouch strode forward and proceeded to SLIP on his backside as his effort meakly went wide of the target.<\/p>\n The sight of the 6ft 7in star on the ground caused hysterics amongst his co-workers and the crowd behind the goal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the flustered Crouch then asked: \u201cWho has made me do this for god's sake?\u201d<\/p>\n Cole replied: \u201cExactly what TNT Sport wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou know what,\u201d responded Crouch. \u201cThis is why you make me do these things. I\u2019m going to be a meme forever now! Absolute disgrace.\u201d<\/p>\n Brutally, TNT Sports shared the footage on X, formerly known as Twitter, shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n <\/picture>HARDEST GOODBYE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>TUCH AND GO <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>RED LIGHTS <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>MASON MOVE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n And footie fans were quick to rub further salt in the wounds of the ex-Tottenham, Portsmouth and Stoke City icon.<\/p>\n \u201cMagnificent. Love it,\u201d responded one fan, with another adding: \u201cSeems as though Peter Crouch hasn\u2019t kicked a football for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPeter Crouch is absolute box office,\u201d declared a fellow viewer.<\/p>\n Another tweeted: \u201cA mighty fine John Terry impression from Peter Crouch in the pre-match crossbar challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n And another joked: \u201cPeter Crouch stacking it taking a shot. That's a long fall.\u201d<\/p>\n Crouch appeared to see the funny side himself once he had gained his composure.<\/p>\n He tweeted: \u201cCheck your footwear today lads. It\u2019s slippy.\u201d<\/p>\n
