Peter Crouch absolutely raved about West Ham skipper Mark Noble, when writing his regular column for the Daily Mail.

The Hammers captain, 32, has been an ever present feature for the east London outfit since he made his senior debut for the club way back in 2004.
Noble has received criticism from some sections of West Ham fans this season, however.
Old father time is clearly catching up with the Canning Town born midfield ace.
But he is still a hugely influential figure for the Hammers. And it is really noticeable just how much West Ham miss him when he isn’t playing.
And Crouch did not hold back in his praise for Noble, when writing his regular column for the Daily Mail recently:
“The one man who I’m amazed never got near the senior squad is Mark Noble. I spoke to him recently about not playing for England and he was relaxed about it, saying he knows his time has probably gone. He’s been so consistent over the last decade, he deserved a cap.”
Stats
Noble has made 26 Premier League appearances for the Hammers this season.
In those outings, he has racked up four goals and one assist. The 32-year-old has also made 43 tackles and 157 ball recoveries (premierleague.com).
He has attempted 1,167 passes, with an impressive completion rate of 81.8% (Who Scored).
Noble is still under contract with West Ham until the summer of 2021. And most Hammers fans will be hoping that he remains at the London Stadium in some kind of capacity for many more years to come.
