Fowler: My Autobiography - Robbie Fowler

With Liverpool playing some great football with that excellent big squad (could this be the year?) and the rougher parts of the city in the news right now for all the wrong reasons this autobiography couldn’t be a more topical read, especially as drugs were always associated with Liverpool’s most prolific striker, of which he comfortably and passionately dispels all those rumors in this enjoyable read. I for one believe him on that score, even though I didn’t think I would before reading this. Robbie Fowler enjoys playing up to being a Liverpool scaly but he’s no junkie, a bundle of Liverpool FC all-time records testament to that one. Robbie Fowler ...  Read the complete review

FOWLER is the title of Liverpool goalscoring legend Robbie Fowler's autobiography. Fowler has played for Liverpool, Leeds United, Manchester City and Cardif City and now plays his football in Australia. He also represented the England national team.

In recent months it would seem the urge for Footballers to write their autobiography has gone through the roof. The likes of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and even Wayne Rooney have released their stories on the unsuspecting market. They were probably all signed up before the World Cup as a just in case they win it contingency by publishes.

Although he’s not at the end of his career I recently was given a copy of Robbie Fowler’s book and thought it might be worth a read. Robbie isn’t at the end of his career and certainly wasn’t when he wrote ...  Read the complete review

I am a sports mad person who enjoys reading my sporting idols careers and how things started, Robbie, "The God" Fowler certainly falls into this category and I was thrilled when I was given this book for Christmas. Robbie's Career - Robbie is a Liverpool legend. He made his debut for Liverpool way back in 1993 and has just played his last game for the club after returning to them after a A bad reputation seems to follow him throughout his career, but after reading this book (I knew this anyway) this is totally unfounded. Robbie is actually seems to be more like the person who appealed to the ref not to give a penalty against Arsenal. ...  Read the complete review
