"Most remembered for his time at Manchester City"
Quote:
As a club trainee, Crooks signed his first professional contract with Premier League club Manchester City on 1 August 1994 (aged 16 years, 6 months, 18 days).
Crooks was in the Manchester City team that won that 1999 Division 2 play off final at Wembley Stadium against Gillingham in dramatic fashion, albeit substituted for Gareth Taylor.
On 26 December 2000 he went out on loan to Northampton Town.[4] He made 3 appearances before returning on 23 January 2001.[1] On 7 March 2001 Crooks was sold by City to Barnsley for £190,000.[4]
Crooks scored two goals for Manchester City, both in the league.[1] It was three years before he scored his first goal, an equaliser against Chesterfield in an away game on 27 February 1999, which ended 1–1.[5] In his 6 and half years at the club Crooks had made 62 competitive appearances, including 50 in the league, and 5 each in the FA and League Cups.[1]
