Robbie Fowler: My Autobiography

A good insight into his life but far to much pointless swearing, at least twice a page. No consistancy, he refers to "me mum" "me dad" "me uncles" etc. then he has "my nana" then about 2 pages later... "me nana." Overall, a very poorly written autobiography.

What a story Robbie Fowler has to tell in his autobiography. From his earliest memories of the Toxteth race riots, to his bitter relationship with Houllier & Thompson. You can't help losing a little respect for Houllier & Thompson after reading this book, despite their success at Anfield. While many autobiographies tend to be written mostly in self pity, Robbie is not afraid to admit to his reputation as a training ground prankster. However, when it comes to false accusations of drug abuse and lack of desire, Fowler puts the record straight, and he is not afraid to name names of journalists and other professionals. Robbie has many humorous and interesting tales to tell, like the time Kenny Dalglish left him and his Dad home to Toxteth from training as a schoolboy, or when Neil Ruddock punched him at the Airport.

It's ironic, as I read this book in December 2005, and I remember reading the line "I still think I've got some unfinished business at Anfield" and I remember thinking "yeah right Robbie, you and I both wish". Less than a month later who was back at Anfield? God himself.
