Crouch took part in the Game 4 Grenfell charity match to raise funds for the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017.

The match was played at QPR’s Loftus Road, one mile from the scene of the disaster which claimed 72 lives.

The 40-year-old said at the time: “It really hit home, growing up so close. Mum drove past the next day and called me, she just could not believe it. You feel helpless, you want to do something.

“I was told about some dark things, firemen being so close but not being able to save people. The loss of life, the effect on families and the emergency services who responded, it’s devastating.”

Crouch added: “Football has the power to help. We’ve got two legends as captains, Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer. I can play because it’s during the international break — and I’m a washed-up international now.

“Going back to QPR as well, where it all began, will be special, so this means a lot to me.”
