Crouch: Pompey move boosted my England chances

England striker Peter Crouch has no regrets over his move to Portsmouth last summer after Fabio Capello told him to get regular first-team football.

Crouch was in and out of the team at Liverpool and, even though he is no longer playing in the Champions League, his efforts at Fratton Park earned him an England recall and he took advantage of Emile Heskey’s injury in April to score against Ukraine.
