Crouch: FA Cup a 'priority'

Posted Thursday, February 04, 2010 by PA

Peter Crouch knows Tottenham may never have a better chance to pick up silverware than this season's FA Cup.

Spurs made it through to a fifth-round tie at Bolton with a 3-1 win in their replay at Leeds on Wednesday night and with only Chelsea of the traditional big four left in the competition, a Wembley final is a realistic target for Harry Redknapp's men.

"We're not stupid," said Crouch. "We know a lot of the big teams have been knocked out and it's a great chance for someone to do well, get to the final, maybe even win it, so we've got to be there or thereabouts. We've got enough quality to go on a good run."

He added: "It's been a while for Tottenham and I think this is probably the best squad of players for a long, long time. 

"We've got a good chance of having a good run. We've all got that belief that we can do well this year. There's no limit to what we can achieve. 

"On our day we can beat anyone and we'll be looking to make sure we do as well as we can in the league but the FA Cup is certainly a priority."

Crouch is one Spurs player who has experience of winning the FA Cup, with Liverpool back in 2006.

"As a kid when I was growing up the FA Cup was the biggest competition," he said.

"Going all the way with Liverpool and lifting the trophy was probably the best moment of my career and I'd love to repeat that with Tottenham."
