To Liverpool fans, Robbie Fowler was 'God'. He is the sixth-highest
goal scorer in the history of the Premier League and notched 183
goals for Liverpool alone. But before all of that, he was a
Liverpool lad who loved the game, the Kop and everything that came
with it. My Life In Football is the story of a boy who became a
legend. Born in Liverpool in 1975, Robbie Fowler became a club icon
by the time he was 18. Now, he takes us through the games that have
shaped his life and football philosophy, over 25 years after he
first signed as a professional for Liverpool. Engaging, personal
and revealing, Robbie opens up about his astounding achievements,
the price of fame and the regrets and struggles of being a
professional footballer. From Hillsborough to Madrid, via the cup
treble, that goal line celebration, hundreds of goals, Houllier,
Benitez, Klopp and more, Robbie explains his thinking about the
modern game. Inviting readers inside the dressing room, he shares
stories of legendary teammates like Rush, Owen and Gerrard, as well
as his rise to football's top table. How did he get back up so many
times after the injuries that blighted his career? What gave him
the drive to keep going and pursue his dreams? Robbie's My Life In
Football harks back to a simpler time when fans and players shared
the same story, and when the local boy really could dream of
scoring a hat-trick for his home club when Saturday came. This
audiobook is an mp3-CD edition.
Fowler: My Autobiography is a personal and honest account of a
phenomenal life in football by goal-poacher Robbie Fowler.
Pronounced as the greatest goal scoring talent since Jimmy Greaves,
seventeen-year old Robbie Fowler was immediately catapulted to fame
and fortune. The thin, baby-faced Toxteth lad, who had trampled the
same streets as the rioters, was now a millionaire, an idol and
inspiration to every kid who kicked a football. Yet his incredible
potential was never quite realized. Injuries and persistent rumours
of drug abuse and depression meant that though Fowler remains one
of the most celebrated of Premiership stars, he never became the
world-beater so many predicted. This is a fascinating and
unbelievably frank insight into the beautiful game, taking us
behind the closed doors of professional football to expose what
really happens at both club and international level. This is a
truthful and candid account of an incredible career, examining not
just the records and the glory, but the low points and the miseries
of a footballing life that many people now believe somewhere,
somehow went wrong. Brilliance and controversy have stalked Robbie
Fowler from his five goal performance in only his second full game
for Liverpool, to his snorting of the touchline in the Merseyside
derby. In this utterly compelling autobiography, Robbie Fowler
looks back on what was, what wasn't and what might have been. This
is the story of one of the game's true icons, and the story of the
modern game itself.
