10. Peter Crouchs Birdie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb9Gt-prTMU Peter Crouchs most famous celebration is the Robot and it has been seen plenty of times during his career for club and country, but this season we saw a new celebration from Crouchy that got a lot of attention. The Stoke striker began doing the robot after he was seen on television doing it at a party at David Beckhams house, but he put it to bed and brought out the Birdie against Newcastle in 2014. Putting both arms in the air, Crouch mimicked a bird, which had his team-mates and the Twitter world talking. People were wondering what this new celebration meant. After the win against Newcastle, Crouch explained the reason behind it, he said: My mate is a Geordie and that's one of his moves. He said I was allowed to do it if I scored, so that one was for him. You cant imagine his mate would have been too happy with his home town club conceding to Crouch and giving him the opportunity to do the celebration. Though the story behind the dance is great, it looked a bit silly.
