PETER CROUCH walked off the TNT Sports set early to catch a flight ahead of his Saturday night out.
The former England striker was on punditry duty for today’s early game as Aston Villa drew 0-0 with Newcastle.
At the end of TNT Sports’ live coverage, Crouch could not wait to get off screens and make his way to the airport.
He was teased by presenter Lynsey Hipgrave, who said: “That’s about all we have got time for, oh sorry, I have just been told we have got more time all of a sudden. We can carry on talking for a bit.”
Crouch replied: “No, Lynsey, I am going to Oasis tonight, that’s not happening. I’ve got a flight to catch.”
Joe Cole interjected: “Let the man leave. He’s done his job. He’s done enough.”
Crouch then dropped the microphone and hilariously sprinted off camera.
Cole responded: “I am so jealous.”
And Hipgrave then brilliantly added: “Pete, don’t look back in anger.”
Oasis are performing at Croke Park in Dublin tonight.
He is not the first former footballer to go to one of their comeback gigs this summer after Steve Bruce and Michael Carrick were pictured forming an unlikely group of ex-Manchester United stars at the show together.
While Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was seen singing along with his daughter Maria.
They then partied backstage with Noel and Liam Gallagher’s kids.
