Stoke City's Peter Crouch pokes fun at his height by posing next to jockey

Stoke City striker Peter Crouch decided to poke fun at his height by towering over a jockey while posing for a photo.

The 33-year-old, who stands at 6'7", is currently in Dubai with his Stoke teammates to escape the bitter cold training conditions in England.

During the trip, the striker visited the Dubai Racing Club, where he happily posed for a photo with jockey Nathan Alison.

Crouch highlighted the height difference by tweeting: "Perhaps I shouldn't stand next to jockeys."
