Peter Crouch claims England will have a "world class" central defender at their disposal if Ledley King can remain fit for the FIFA World Cup™ finals.
Crouch has known of King's qualities for more than a decade since his first spell at Tottenham as a schoolboy.
And the striker has seen at first hand King's impact at White Hart Lane since returning to the club for a second spell.
King is part of Fabio Capello's provisional squad of 30 for South Africa and is likely to be named in the final 23.
Crouch believes he will be a key figure if he stays clear of the knee problem which has blighted his career.
Crouch said: "Ledley has been brilliant. I've known Ledley for a lot of years and I know what a superb player he is. I've known Ledley since I was 13 in my first spell at Spurs. He was fantastic even then. Even then you knew he was going to be world class and he has proven that.
"As long as he can prove his fitness, he will be up there as one of the best centre-halfs at the World Cup. He has proved his quality this season, hopefully he has proved his fitness. He played the last three games of the season, all for the 90 minutes, he came through those and trained this week with England as well."
Crouch added: "It is a big boost because he is such a quality player and everyone would be happy to have him in their squad. Ledley has to be managed a bit different to the rest of the players. He has to do his own thing and train when he feels capable of it. Without a doubt, the manager thinks it is worthwhile him coming and, on his day when he is fit, there are not many as good as him."
Crouch has also welcomed the recall to the squad of another centre-back in Jamie Carragher, whom he played alongside during his spell at Liverpool.
He said: "Jamie brings a great deal of experience. He has played at top level for a long, long time now. I played with Jamie for three years at Liverpool and he is a leader and has great experience - and having that experience at major tournaments certainly helps."

It is one of football's most perplexing puzzles: how can a team brimming with top-class talents fail to click and sometimes even implode? Why did the Brazil line-up led by Zico and Socrates fizzle out without winning a single title? And why did a France side featuring Zinedine Zidane and the Argentina of Juan Sebastian Veron both crash out at the group stage of the 2002 FIFA World Cup™?
The most recent international side to suffer this curious curse has to be Côte d'Ivoire. The country currently boasts its finest ever generation of players, with the likes of Didier Drogba, Kolo and Yaya Toure and Salomon Kalou all adding to the quality on display, but they have so far failed to lift a trophy or meet the major expectations placed on their shoulders.
Among the players who have thus far flattered to deceive is Romaric, but the powerful Elephants midfielder believes he has uncovered the solution to the problem. Having just completed a season blighted by injury and disappointment, the Sevilla man has more reason than most to want to enjoy success on South African soil, and in this exclusive interview with FIFA.com, he sounds the alarm in the hope that the present crop of players finally succeeds in converting skill into silverware.
FIFA.com: Sven-Goran Eriksson has announced a list of 30 players, which will be cut down to 23. How are you finding this waiting period, especially given that he is a new coach?
Romaric: With a new coach, everyone starts out equal again, so you have to seize your chance. For me, this World Cup is a superb opportunity. There may well be surprises in the final list. Once we get down to business, the important thing will be to think about the squad as a whole and to work hard during the preparation period so that we arrive in South Africa with as much confidence as possible.
Will some of that confidence come from doing things differently?
In the past, we've had a good squad but tactically we weren't up to the task. We lacked understanding and the kind of positioning on the pitch a team of our quality should have. I hope that Eriksson will correct that. That's what we expect from him above all. The mentality has to change too – we have to want to win together and finally demonstrate our potential.
We need to have everyone on the same footing. Competition allows a squad to progress; nobody should have a safe place in the side.Romaric
In an interview with FIFA.com, Gervinho recently explained that the team needs to learn to defend together. Is that another of the changes you hope to see?
Obviously. Defensive work starts with the forwards; it's the job of the whole squad. We need to defend together, but with everyone playing their role. We have huge problems with our collective positioning, though. We can't afford to fall short of the minimum standard required in that area. We just can't have a gap of 70 metres between the defenders and the forwards as we had in the last Africa Cup of Nations. Our lines aren't close enough together and we're not compact. If we correct those things, we'll be able to aim for something big.
Do you think you can manage that in just three weeks, with a coach who is meeting the squad for the first time?
If we all join together and pull in the same direction, then yes. Three weeks is enough to develop another style of play and another approach. We can't have another match like the one we had against Algeria in the Cup of Nations. That defeat exposed our weaknesses. The coach's first words will be important and he's experienced enough to know that. Beyond that, we need to have the desire, because we know what we need to do in terms of technique – we see that every day with our clubs. So it's just a question of will, but I'll say it again: we need to have everyone on the same footing. Competition allows a squad to progress; nobody should have a safe place in the side.
Didier Zokora, Boubacar Barry and Gervinho have described some of the same problems with the Elephants. Why haven't they been rectified yet?
We know our faults, but it's another thing altogether to want to fight for each other. Our passing game isn't developed enough, we lack mobility and the player on the ball doesn't have enough passing options. We need to stop giving the opposition gifts; we're not at the training centre anymore. We can't have central defenders trying to nutmeg players. We're not here to show off or draw attention to ourselves but to help the national team win.
Do you think the Africa Cup of Nations disappointment can help the team advance?
The reaction of the public back in Côte d'Ivoire after the Cup of Nations showed us that if we fail again in South Africa, we shouldn't hold out much hope of going home! I felt the anger and disappointment after the loss to Algeria. You have to understand that the Elephants are the only thing that brings the country together. When we play, there are no more divisions in terms of language, ethnicity or skin colour. We need to warm people's hearts, even if it's a love-hate relationship. Moreover, to not win anything with this generation of players would be more than sad: it would be a waste.
In personal terms, you have had a difficult season. How do you explain that?
I started the season injured and after that I had trouble coming back. I was back before the Africa Cup of Nations, but Vahid Halilhodzic didn't call me up. Mentally, that was a blow. Soon afterwards, I got injured again. It's the first time I've had so many problems in one season. I've never experienced that before, so I learnt a lot and at least drew something positive out of it.
Has that made you even more motivated to succeed at the FIFA World Cup?
Definitely. I've become stronger and physically I'm fresher than some of the other players. This World Cup will be a chance for me to make up for a difficult season. It's the only thing on my mind.

OFFICIALL:Assana Diarra Ruled Out Of The World Cup Due To Injury
France have been rocked by the news that Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra has been ruled out of next month's World Cup in South Africa due to an intestine injury.
The French Football Federation (FFF) has issued a press release on their official website confirming the bad news.
It is currently unknown exactly what the injury suffered during altitude training is, but what is certain is that France will be without the ex-Arsenal, Chelsea and Portsmouth man for the Mundial.
Diarra's injury could re-open the door for a recall for Patrick Vieira, but Rennes' Yann M'Vila or Marseille's Hatem Ben Arfa may be preferred.

Kaka trains with Brazil for the first time
Brazil playmaker Kaka trained with the Brazilian squad for the first time on Tuesday as the five-time world champions prepared for the World Cup finals, which will run from June 11 to July 11 in South Africa.
The 28-year-old -- the 2007 world and European footballer of the year -- was suffering from a left groin injury, which forced him to miss out on Tuesday morning's training session.
The appearance by Kaka -- whose maiden season with Real Madrid ended in disappointment with no trophies in the cabinet -- allayed fears that he might be a doubt for the opening Group G match on June 15 against North Korea.
On Wednesday the Brazil squad -- who finished top of the South American qualifying group -- will travel to Brasilia, where they will meet the country's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva before flying to Johannesburg.
They are due to play two friendlies on June 2 and June 7, against Tanzania and Zimbabwe respectively.
Aside from North Korea, the Brazilians will also face 2006 semifinalists Portugal, and African giants Ivory Coast, in the group labelled 'The Group of Death'.

Bafana jump seven places
Bafana Bafana's positive performance in their last few international friendly matches has been recognised as they moved up seven places on the latest Fifa rankings released on Wednesday.
Only about 20 friendly matches were played worldwide in the last few weeks. Accordingly, there were only minor changes to the latest edition of the Fifa world rankings, the last to be published before the 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa.
The head-to-head battle for top spot between leaders Brazil and European champions Spain continues, and both have a clear lead over the chasing pack of Portugal, Netherlands and Italy. Trailing even farther behind, after Germany, Argentina, England and France, are two teams not participating in South Africa 2010 -- Croatia and Russia -- who are likely to lose even more ground after the tournament.
Meanwhile, hosts South Africa have received a boost, winning not only two friendly matches, but also gaining seven places in the ranking (83rd), which is more than any other team. The only other teams to climb five or more places were Oman (91st, up 6) and Estonia (99th, up 5). In the top 100, Burkina Faso (48th, up 4) and Montenegro (64th, up 1) are currently in their highest-ever position since the world ranking was introduced.
Of the top 20 teams, only Croatia, Russia and Egypt will be absent in South Africa. On the basis of this edition of the world ranking, Group G, which includes Brazil, Portugal and Côte d'Ivoire, is still the strongest, but only if the best three teams are taken into account (average position 10th, points 1 239).
