Robbie Fowler

[johnb]

Two years ago today you left lad.

 

Thanks for the memories, the outrageous goals and the Genius.

[Rashid]

Pure genuis. A sad day when he was pushed out by Houllier and Thommo. Never said a bad word since, a true legend that will remain a legend despite the way he was treated.

 

We got good money for him so it was a good deal all round but a pity that he went off the rails and couldn't dislodge the managers favourite donkey.

I can't believe yet another innocent post has been used to have a go at GH & PT. I mean twisting every word he says to have a dig is one thing but using the fact that it is two years since God left to voice your grievances (again) is just fvcking ridiculous!

 

FFS just give it a rest, it is like listening to a broken record!!!

[Guest Phil C]

good to see , some things/people never change :blush:

 

ps; where is he gone anyway ?:(

[Total Longo]

Where you been Phil ? You were away longer than me !!

 

Good to have you back. Still haven't finished Friggin GTA Vice City yet. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Are you seriously suggesting you'd be happy with Fowler if he was still at the club. There were odd flashes of genius, but he hadnt done it on a regular basis since 1997.

 

The injuries didnt help, but neither did the emergence of Owen, which meant he was no longer the star man and the appointment of Houllier and Thompson, who insisted that the training ground was a place of work and not a schoolyard.

 

He never set Leeds alight and City fans have lost patience with him. To get £13 million for him was one of Houllier's few successes in the transfer market.

This must be the first time that John B and innocence have been connected since he was a babe in arms.I'm more used to seeing him called a bluenose spamming c*nt.:devil:

Just to clarify, this WAS to be a thread just to recall how Great Robbie was. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Hermes]

"this WAS to be a thread just to recall how Great Robbie was"

 

Then why isn't it the longest thread in TLW history?

[johnb]

Well, let me start then!

 

His goal against Villa (when he megged Stauton) and rifled (no other word) it in the top corner.

 

He made it look easy.

 

And he got a header against Derby (October 1996?) when he outjumped McGrath.

 

Robbie could do it all.

[Hermes]

Barging Neville aside and chipping Rudolph at Old Trafford-orgasmic.

 

 

My nephew met him in the street when Robbie was about 19, my nephew about 10 years old. My nephew looked at him and said "Are you the real Robbie Fowler?" Robbie pissed himself laughing.

You could weep for him. Best striker there was. You wish he was still doing it albeit for someone else. Still love you, Robbie.

[johnb]

His goal against Bergen. Flick over his head with his heel and finish across the keeper...one of his best.

[Hermes]

Sniffing the line in front of the blueshite.

I loved his celebration after scoring our second against the mancs at Anfield April 2001. He brushed away Berger to shake a lengthy "fuck you" fist at their shithead fans. He obviously enjoyed it.
