'Heroes of Anfield' ... Robbie Fowler In this week's 'Heroes of Anfield', we take a look at Robbie Fowler aka GOD by all liverpudlians. In last week's Manchester derby, Fowler reminded all his loyalty to liverpool by showing 4 fingers to manure's supporters, indicating to them Liverpool's more superior European Cup record. Most liverpudlians were very touched by his action. Therefore, i write this blog in tribute to the King of KOP - GOD Robbie Fowler!
The Very Best of Robbie Fowler Lets savour some great moments in the life and career of the man we shall surely one day call Sir Robert Fowler... 1) Scoring five goals on his home debut - in the 5-0 League Cup win over Fulham in 1993. When asked how he celebrated this feat, he said: "After the Fulham game, I went round the chippy with my mates and got a big kiss from my mum when I got home!" Awwwwww! 2) Lifting his shirt to reveal a t-shirt displaying the words 'Support The 500 Sacked Dockers' during a UEFA Cup tie - earning the respect of the working classes but the wrath of UEFA with a £1,000 fine. But even they began their letter: 'It might seem strange and even unfair…' 3) Responding to Evertonian taunts that he "had a friend called Charles" by getting down on all fours to simulate the snorting of the white line marking on the pitch. This was made even more glorious by Gerard Houllier's explanation that Robert was merely "pretending to be a cow eating grass". The bods at the FA were not quite so naive and gave him a four-match ban. 4) Cutting up a pair of Neil Ruddock's £300 Gucci shoes after being told that the hard man had urinated in his shoes. Ruddock punched him in the nose in a crowded airport and Steve Harkness was later revealed to be the peeing prankster. 5) Maturely reacting to a running battle with Graeme Le Saux by leaning over in front of the Chelsea defender and parting his butt cheeks in reference to Le Saux's alleged homosexuality. His japes cost him a two-match ban. 6) Showing rare sportsmanship for a footballer by pleading with the referee not to punish David Seaman when he was adjudged to have been brought down by the Arsenal keeper in the box at Highbury. Fowler's pleas were ignored but he made himself a lot of friends by taking a weak penalty that was easily saved. Jason McAteer had no such reservations and banged in the rebound. Fowler got a commendation from FIFA for his actions. McAteer did not. 7) Getting himself arrested just days after joining Leeds when a photographer attempted to take pictures of the drunken, sleeping Fowler clad in military uniform and holding a replica gun while on a Christmas party. A previous festive gathering had seen Fowler having to be persuaded not to go as 'the gimp from Pulp Fiction'. 8) Scoring a hat-trick in four minutes 32 seconds against Arsenal in 1994 - just to prove that 'The Best of Robbie Fowler' sometimes is about the football. 9) When asked in a Loaded magazine interview about his chat-up techniques, revealed that his favourite was: "Do you like jewels? You should suck my dick - it’s a gem." 10) Trashing the room of England Under-21 colleague Trevor Sinclair 'for a laugh'. Funnily enough, Sinclair did not get the joke. Some people have no sense of humour... source: http://mrankin.home.cern.ch/mrankin/Robbie.htm
