I was lead to believe

That crouch was crying his eyes out on his last appearance for us at Millwall, cos we were one of the few clubs he was happy at and he didn't want to go back to villa

I also heard the rumour that his parents came to visit Norwich to plead with them to try to sign him

We pulled out all the stops of huckerby though, so we had nothing to take crouch on
