Former England star Peter Crouch is hoping to score a Christmas No. 1 with his World Cup-themed classical music album.

The striker is releasing ‘Crouchy Conducts The Classics’ on Tuesday, November 15, which will put a classical spin on football terrace chants.

The album's tracklist includes 'Enger-land, Enger-land, Enger-land’, ‘V.A.R My Lord’ and ‘Super Jacky Grealish.

Featured on the record will be Britain’s Got Talent sensation Paul Potts. The famous tenor adds his vocals to a version of 'You're Not Singing Any More'.

The brainchild of bookmaker Paddy Power, with 100% of the profits from the album going to Stonewall in support of their campaign to tackle LGBTQ+ oppression in Qatar.

Crouch, who represented England at two World Cups, conducts a 40-strong orchestra, choral and gospel choir during the classic hits.

The album is available to download on ITunes, Spotify from Tuesday November 15.
