But as he stood alongside ex-Chelsea star Joe Cole, Crouch’s sheer size made the seemingly mundane task a comedic gag.

The 6ft 7in colossus towered over 41-year-old Cole, who himself stands at 5ft 9in.

And fans couldn’t help but have a chuckle at the dynamic as Crouch held an umbrella over them both.

Taking to Twitter, one fan remarked: “Making Joe Cole and Peter Crouch share an umbrella is jokes 😂”

A second commented: “Size difference with Crouch and Joe Cole 🤣🤣.”

“Nice of Peter Crouch to hold the umbrella for Joe Cole,” said a third.

A fourth wrote: “@petercrouch is perfect Brolly holder for Little Joe Cole 😂.”

A fifth typed: “Something utterly hilarious about Peter Crouch and Joe Cole sharing an umbrella.”

“Unsure why Peter Crouch has an umbrella when he’s so tall his head should really be above the clouds,” joked a fifth.

A sixth typed: “Crouch has an umbrella because of course, at his height, he was the first to find out it was raining…..”

While a seventh added: “When you take your son to his first punditry@petercrouch.”

Former Liverpool and Tottenham striker Crouch is married to model Abbey Clancy.

He previously joked that his career “finished” when he accidentally left Abbey locked out of the house as he played Call of Duty.
