After the match, Crouch admitted that fans had urged him to bring back his famous robot dance before the game.
"So many kids on the way here were like, 'Can you do the robot?'” he revealed. “I'd rather have not, to be honest, but it was for the kids.”
Beyond the goals and celebrations, Crouch spoke about the personal significance of playing at Anfield again, particularly in front of his children.
"To play with the likes of Stevie again is fantastic," he said. "My little boy has never seen me kick a football and I think he thought I was lying about it! Great day and great for the Foundation."

Whereas, Crouch's second goal showcased his composure and finishing ability which was a regular sight back in the day. Mark Gonzalez delivered a dangerous cross, which Crouch initially struggled to control, but he quickly regained composure to expertly chip the ball over Chelsea goalkeeper Rob Green, sealing a perfect outing for the Reds legend.
