PETER CROUCH: England fans booed me and it's heart wrenching... to see Harry Maguire get jeered by his own fans at Wembley against Ivory Coast left a sour taste

The treatment of Harry Maguire when his name was read out at Wembley was stomach-churning.

I remember being subjected to boos from England supporters through no fault of my own.

The boos that greeted me when coming on for Shaun Wright-Phillips against Poland in a World Cup qualifier at Old Trafford in October 2005 will stay with me for ever.

I was a Liverpool player, so I knew there was an element of that, but there was also this stigma attached to me. Is he an England player? People openly said I wasn't good enough.
