Peter Crouch landed himself in the doghouse after drawing former club Liverpool away to Manchester United in the FA Cup fourth round.
Within minutes of the draw s completion, Crouch received a Twitter message from his Merseyside-born wife Abbey Clancy, which simply said: My dad is gonna kill you.
A sheepish Crouch replied: I ll head straight to the spare room.
The all-Premier League tie was the pick of the fourth round fixtures and will pitch the sides into battle for the 18th time in the competition with United having won nine, including the finals of 1977 and 1996, and drawn four.
Manchester United will face Liverpool in the blockbuster tie of the FA Cup fourth round, while League Two Cheltenham host Manchester City.
