Peter Crouch has assured Stoke City fans that he will "give absolutely everything" on the pitch after making the switch from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer.
The 30-year-old, who spent two years at White Hart Lane, moved to the Britannia Stadium after Stoke broke their transfer record with a successful £10m bid.
"It was crazy really, and I don't think I've seen anything quite like it before," Crouch told Stoke’s official matchday magazine.
"It was like half one in the morning and there were still 800 to 1,000 fans out there singing my name and that was really flattering, to be honest.
"I'm very thankful for the welcome they gave me, and hopefully I can repay them out on the pitch now with performances and goals. I will give absolutely everything I have got in every game I play in, that is for sure."
The striker could make his debut for the Potters against his former club Liverpool at the Britannia on Saturday.
