Reason peter crouch considered naming baby with abbey clancy after divock origi

PETER CROUCH AND MODEL WIFE ABBEY CLANCY'S FOURTH CHILD, JACK, IS CELEBRATING HIS SIXTH BIRTHDAY, THOUGH THE PAIR'S YOUNGEST ALMOST JOKINGLY SHARED A NAME WITH EX-LIVERPOOL ACE

DIVOCK ORIGI 09:13, 03 Jun 2025Updated 09:57, 03 Jun 2025 Peter Crouch once joked that his youngest son with wife Abbey Clancy, Jack, would be named after former Liverpool striker Divock

Origi. The couple welcomed their youngest into the world in 2019, days after two of Crouch's former teams, Tottenham and Liverpool, went head-to-head in the Champions League final.

Crouch and Clancy's family grew six years ago with the birth of their second son, Jack, who became the couple's fourth child. Eldest Sophia was born in 2011, with daughter Liberty

and son Johnny arriving in the years to come. The naming of Crouch's son, who turns six this Tuesday, was subject to witticisms from the former England striker, who previously claimed

that he and his wife Clancy were considering calling him Samrat, after his favourite curry house. With the Champions League final contested close to Jack's birth, Crouch also

couldn't help but exercise his renowned sense of humour as he took to social media to announce his son's arrival on June 3 2019, revealing a hilarious ode to one of the

showpiece's stars, Origi. Posting on X, Crouch shared a picture of his newborn son with the caption reading in jest: "Our beautiful baby boy was born Monday 3rd June, mother and

baby Divock Samrat Crouch are doing well." Crouch, who played 135 times for Liverpool and made almost 100 appearances for Tottenham, had clearly tuned into the final of UEFA's

elite club competition two days prior, when his two former employers battled. Article continues below The momentous occasion in Madrid was shaken up in just 106 seconds as a penalty was

given to the Reds after a handball by Spurs' Moussa Sissoko. Mohamed Salah duly converted the spot kick, and the final simply went through the motions until the 87th minute, when

Belgian striker Origi arrived to seal the match, which would end 2-0. Crouch's tribute to the final's second goalscorer was short-lived, and he soon clarified to his followers:

"Our boy is beautiful the name is still to be clarified unfortunately Abs not going for Divock Samrat." In March, Crouch revealed that bookies were taking bets on what his child

would be called and added that Samrat was potentially being considered. "One of the bookies is taking bets on names for my little one. Harry is top," said Crouch on his That Peter

Crouch Podcast. "And at 100/1 was Samrat. "I've had a good few people saying, 'You've got to do it' - Samrat Crouch. It's genuinely 100/1... it does work,

because you'd just call him Sam. Shane is actually bigger odds than Samrat." Crouch was then asked: "[And] Abbey would be all right with that, wouldn't she?" to

which he replied, slightly tongue in cheek: "She'd be all right with it, yeah." After the birth of Jack, whose name was announced six weeks after birth, Crouch was asked by

OK! whether he wished to have more children with his wife Clancy, and swiftly replied: "God no! [Laughs] Don't ever have four. It was a ridiculous decision – one that I love and

wouldn't change for the world – but it's tough." Article continues below _Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content. We also treat
