Hi there! 👋 My name’s David - I’m a writer and solopreneur from Northern Ireland. In this publication, you’ll find a growing archive of resources (created by myself and a collection of valued guests) for those hoping to become - or grow as - solopreneurs. While you’re here, you should also check out:

  • My other publications, How to Write for a Living and

    David McIlroy Fiction

  • This course I created (included in my paid plan)

Thanks for stopping by! Now, back to the article.


Peter Crouch is one of the most distinctive footballers you’re ever likely to see.

Standing at 6 feet 7 inches tall, he played as a striker for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Stoke City, and of course, Liverpool FC (the best club in the world, in case you hadn’t heard).

Crouch enjoyed a successful 18-year-long career in the Premier League before retiring in 2019. He’s become quite the TV commercial star since then.

‘Crouchy’ probably wouldn’t make it into very many Top 10 lists for strikers (no matter how surprisingly-good his footwork was), but he does top one list in particular. And if you’re a connoisseur of the beautiful game, you can undoubtedly guess what it is.

Headers.

Peter Crouch tops the list for the most headed goals in Premier League history, scoring with his noggin 53 times during his nearly two-decade span at the top level.

He’s a very tall man, and he used that physical feature to great effect on the pitch.

Height was Peter Crouch’s “Unfair Advantage” as a footballer.

My Unfair Advantage

And I can tell you right now, it’ll never be mine. I’m vertically-challenged, to say the least.

But I believe everyone has at least one Unfair Advantage in life that’s ready and waiting to be harnessed.

To read the rest of this article (and unlock full access to my entire catalogue, along with some juicy extras) just upgrade to my paid plan - it costs about as much as one fancy coffee per month. Your support would make my day!
