Pronounced as the greatest goalscoring talent since Jimmy Greaves seventeen-year old Robbie Fowler was immediately catapulted to fame & fortune. The thin baby-faced Toxteth lad who had trampled the same streets as the rioters was now a millionaire an idol & inspiration to every kid who kicked a football. Yet his incredible potential was never quite realised. Injuries & persistent rumours of drug abuse & 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 & unbelievably frank insight into the beautiful game taking us behind the closed doors of professional football to expose what really happens at both club & international level. This is a truthful & candid account of an incredible career examining not just the records & the glory but the low points & the miseries of a footballing life that many people now believe somewhere somehow went wrong. Brilliance & 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 wasnt & what might have been. This is the story of one of the games true icons & the story of the modern game itself. ...
