The Stoke striker was asked on Twitter: “How many seasons until you break Shearer’s record?”
And the former England frontman replied: “I’ve worked it out and retirement age in England is 65 is it, so I should come close.”
Crouch’s hilarious tweet quickly got more than 3,000 retweets and in excess of 11,000 likes.
And a number of followers were quick to point out that his state pension age will actually be 68.
So the 36-year-old former Liverpool frontman should have another three seasons left in him.
Newcastle and England legend Shearer scored 260 goals during his time at the Toon and Blackburn.
