This soccer player owned his Aston Martin supercar for just a few days before a rival\u2019s reaction prompted him to sell it at a $32,000 loss.<\/p>\n

Peter Crouch, who has played for England\u2019s national team at the World Cup, bought himself an Aston Martin back in 2005.<\/p>\n

This followed his $9 million transfer from Liverpool to Southampton, and his debut on the national team.<\/p>\n

However, his feelings on the car quickly changed after a brief encounter with soccer rival, Roy Keane.<\/p>\n

Why did Peter Crouch sell his Aston Martin within days of buying it?<\/p>\n

It was the early days of his Aston Martin<\/a> ownership, and Crouch was feeling pretty good about his new purchase.<\/p>\n

But all of that was set to change whilst waiting at some traffic lights.<\/p>\n

Crouch retold the story on his podcast The Therapy Crouch, which he hosted alongside his wife Abbey Clancy.<\/p>\n

\"Soccer<\/a>The Therapy Crouch<\/p>\n

\u201cI bought an Aston Martin when I was kind of playing for Liverpool. I got in the England squad and I thought, yeah I have made it,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll get an Aston Martin, I deserve it. But I knew I looked like a t**t in it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then I was driving around, I remember seeing Roy Keane at the lights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Soccer<\/a>Sky Sports News\/YouTube<\/p>\n

Usually, seeing a rival whilst driving around in a new car would be the perfect opportunity to show off.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not how this interaction went down.<\/p>\n

The one look that sealed the deal <\/p>\n

\u201cHe just gave me a look of like what a d***head. I had my arm out, bins on, listening to some garage. And he just looked at me like a piece of s**t,\u201d Crouch said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I literally, with that look sold the car that week.\u201d<\/p>\n

As if that wasn\u2019t bad enough, he suffered a $32,000 loss as a result.<\/p>\n

\"Soccer<\/a>BBC<\/p>\n

According to his wife, flashy cars aren\u2019t really his style.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not a flashy person who is really obsessed with cars,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy favorite car Pete bought me, a vintage 1986 Mercedes<\/a> convertible for my 30th birthday.\u201d<\/p>\n

This sets him apart somewhat from other soccer players who are known for flashy cars.<\/p>\n

Nobody exemplifies that better than Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just him \u2013 Kylian Mbapp\u00e9\u00a0<\/a> and Marcus Rashford <\/a>are also known for enjoying their cars.<\/p>\n
