it was Crouch Robot Dance Mania... well... it was a good memory then...
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says England striker Peter Crouch is not for sale.
Crouch has been linked with a January switch to Manchester City after slipping down the pecking order at Liverpool since the arrivals of Fernando Torres and Andriy Voronin.
But Benitez insists: "People have been talking about Peter Crouch for two months, but he is our player and we don't want to sell him.
"He is a nice boy, a good professional, a good player.
"It is clear that this team now with four strikers creates more competition for places, but I don't have any problems because Crouch is a good player."
He could get a chance in Saturday's Merseyside derby, with both Torres and Dirk Kuyt struggling for fitness.
"Torres is improving a lot. He wants to play," Benitez said. "I was talking with him before and he said 'If you want, I will be available'.
"It could be a small risk, but we need to check with the physio.
"Harry Kewell is training, Xabi Alonso is running, Kuyt is running also, but Agger will be more difficult.
"We need to wait and see. Maybe we will need to use one, but not all because we have two more important games after the derby."
