Fowler: My Autobiography - Robbie Fowler

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. I've always thought though that footballers should wait to the end of their careers before writing ...
...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 the book almost 2 years ago but he had been playing football for over 12 years as a professional. I don't really have any feelings towards Liverpool or either of Fowler's other clubs but he was one of the first Sky TV recognisable footballers, a point he makes during this book. So for ...

Review of Fowler: My Autobiography - Robbie Fowler

I'm a massive Liverpool fan and when this book came out it was a must for me to get my own copy. Robbie was scoring goals for fun when I first started following Liverpool and so it wasn't long before he turned into my hero. In this respect you might say I was a bit biased towards him. Whilst appealing mainly to Liverpool supporters, I do feel this book has got what it takes to be enjoyed by the "neutral" football fan, especially as Fowler had short ...
...onto Cardiff via a second spell at his beloved Liverpool. This book tells the story of the Anfield legend, the goal-scoring machine, the prodigy, the hero, of Robbie "God" Fowler. He tells his story in his own way of how he grew up on a rough estate in Toxteth, his development as a person and a footballer, and his times with Liverpool, and the encounters that followed in his days after life at Liverpool. At times he's blunt and straight to the ...

Review of Fowler: My Autobiography - Robbie Fowler

I am a sports mad person who enjoys reading my sporting idols careers and how things started, Robbie, "The God" Folwer 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, ...
...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. Robbie played for Liverpool, Leeds and Man City. He seemed to each of the clubs but had a feeling that things were about to wrong at Leeds whilst he was there. Robbie was also capped 26 times by his country scoring 7 times. If you believed the newspaper gossip he is going to follow Beckham to the USA this summer, ...

Review of Fowler: My Autobiography - Robbie Fowler

Having been through a phase of autobiographies Robbie Fowlers was next on my shelf, after the tough guy Vinnie Jones. I'm not sure what I expected having read several football autobiographies recently but I have to say that reading this was more like having a conversation with Robbie. The book is written as I would imagine he speaks. At times blunt, some swearing and at times amusing. Typical Scouse humour came through and Robbie came across as ...
...achievements (quite rightly) and of his roots. He is a devoted family man and his love of Liverpool FC shines through. A lot of interesting bits and pieces about other personalities and short times with other clubs and anyone who regularly watches will know who some of the nameless are! He puts his story very well and the book is now doing the rounds of my work which, considering I work in Manchester, is some going because most Mancs hate anyone ...

Review of Fowler: My Autobiography - Robbie Fowler

For all you people out there who want to write an aotobiography, this is how you do it. If your a liverpool fan, this is a must read, and even if your not its still a book you wont regret reading. Robbies scouse humour comes across brilliantly in here, its obvious he had a lot of input in the book and didnt just have a couple of hours with a "ghost writer". This is one of the few books ive read that ive physically laughed out loud at, it really is ...
