England striker Peter Crouch has sent the 'Robot' into retirement and will only revive it if England win the World Cup.
The gangling Liverpool forward emerged as a cult figure amongst fans with his bizarre goal celebrations during friendly wins over Jamaica and Hungary.
But as England knuckle down to the task of trying to with the World Cup for the first time in 40 years, Crouch says he is his hanging up his dancing feet.
"It's not about robotic dancing", Crouch said. "It is about scoring goals and winning matches. It's and important time for everyone now.
"It's serious business, though we might all do it if we win the World Cup."
Crouch said although teammates had encouraged him to continue his goal celebrations, he wanted to ensure he was focused on winning. "If you can enjoy yourself, all well and good, but the first thing we must concentrate on winning football matches," said crouch.
"The lads are keen for me to keep it going, but I'm not sure about that. I hope to get as many goals as I can, but I'm not sure about that celebration."
Crouch meanwhile is certain his strike partner Michael Owen will come good at some point in the tournament after being hauled off against Paraguay.
"Over the years Michael has been playing, he has always scored goals and I believe he will always score goals," Crouch said.
