He made his league debut on 24 August 1957 in a goalless draw with [[Burnley F.C.\|Burnley]]. He managed 19 appearances for the club at senior level before joining second flight [[Ipswich Town F.C.\|Ipswich Town]] in August 1958. A prolific striker, he helped Ipswich to win back-to-back titles, the [[Football League Second Division\|Second Division]] in [[~~1960-61~~1960–61 in English football\|~~1960-61~~1960–61]] and the [[Football League First Division\|First Division]] in [[~~1961-62~~1961–62 in English football\|~~1961-62~~1961–62]]. In the latter season, he was joint leading scorer in [[Football League First Division\|Division One]] – alongside [[Derek Kevan]] of [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.\|West Bromwich Albion]] – with 33 goals.<ref>{{cite web \| title=English League Leading Goalscorers 1889–2007 \| url=~~http~~https://www.rsssf.~~com~~org/tablese/engtops.html ~~\| publisher=[[RSSSF]]~~ \| date=14 June 2007 \| publisher=[[Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation]] \| access-date=14 October 2007}}</ref> During this time, he won the first of his two [[England national football team\|England]] caps, becoming the first Ipswich Town player to be capped for England. He was sold to [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.\|Wolves]] in September 1963 where he scored 41 goals in 61 appearances (in total), before moving to rivals [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.\|West Brom]] in January 1965, shortly before Wolves dropped out of the top flight. He failed to establish himself though at [[The Hawthorns]] and rejoined [[Ipswich Town F.C.\|Ipswich]] in March 1965, where he played another three full seasons, lifting his tally for the club to 259 goals in all competitions. Line 80 ⟶ 78: He became youth-team coach at [[Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.\|Brighton]] in 1972 but left after [[Brian Clough]] became manager the following year. He then worked as youth team Manager and assistant Manager to Jimmy Dickinson at his former side [[Portsmouth F.C.\|Portsmouth]] until 1979 and later managed non-league [[Fareham Town F.C.\|Fareham Town]] and Winchester City for a short while before retiring from the game in 1984, and becoming a merchandising representative. He is now retired but still plays a big active role within the community of Portsmouth, appearing at a lot of charity events and is a popular figure at Fratton Park every home game. In 2007, he published his autobiography entitled "Curse of the Jungle Boy".<ref name="Matthews2012">{{cite book\|author=Mark Metcalf & Tony Matthews\|title=The Golden Boot: Football's Top Scorers\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=J1-oAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT81\|date=30 August 2012\|publisher=Amberley Publishing Limited\|isbn=978-1-4456-1118-1\|~~pages~~page=~~81–~~81}}</ref> The book explain how Crawford was known to all as 'Jungle Boy' because of his army service in [[Federation of Malaya\|Malaya]].

Crawford now works as a summariser on Express FM commentaries on [[Portsmouth F.C.\|Portsmouth]] matches and occasionally on Radio Suffolk on [[Ipswich Town F.C.\|Ipswich Town]] games. He is known for his loud cheers and shouts and became an instant hit on Express FM. The former frontman also provides a weekly column for the Yellow Advertiser online newspaper discussing the fortunes of Colchester United FC. ===International= career== Crawford's international career was surprisingly brief, ~~winning~~but had three caps with two different countries.
