Robbie Fowler: My Life In Football: Goals, Glory & The Lessons I've Learnt

Description

To Liverpool fans he was 'God', but Robbie Fowler has never told his full story until now. In A Footballer's Life Robbie takes us on a journey through the twenty games that have shaped of his career and thinking about football from Hillsborough to Istanbul, via the cup treble, that celebration, all those goals, Houllier, Benitiez, Klopp and the rest. Personal and revealing, Robbie stories come from a life spent inside the game. He invites us inside the dressing room, sharing stories of legendary team-mates like Rush, Owen and Gerrard, his love of the Kop, his greatest achievements and his biggest regrets as well as the money, fame, and the hoopla that surrounds the modern game. Discussing frankly his rise to football's top table, his struggles with injuries and retirement as well as his feelings about the modern game, A Footballer's Life 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.

The definitive autobiography from Anfield's favourite son, 25 years after he first signed as a professional for Liverpool.

A divine read. Robbie takes us from early days in Toxteth to his new job Down Under as Brisbane Roar boss * Sunday Mirror *
