The Return of 'GOD'

My favourite player of all time has given me some glimmer of hope that football remains in reality hands. Robbie Fowler has just signed a THREE-MONTH performance related deal with Blackburn Rovers after impressing on a trial. This is a credit to himself and his dedication.
He is only a tender age of 33 but as he has had enough serious injuries to satisfy a pensioner and he is willing to prolong his dream of performing at the highest level.
I turned cold the day Gerard Houiller sold him to Leeds for £11 million; he was a hero for many, including myself, and the name ‘God’ related to him among many followers.
He is the fourth highest goal scorer in the Premiership and should be higher. If injuries did not hinder that, he would have been pushing Alan Shearers all time record.
Only 26 England caps and 7 goals seemed to really undermine his high credentials. He should have played more but he was living in the era of Shearer, Teddy Sheringham, and Michael Owen, he remains the most gifted goal scorer and predator with the penalty area.
Arguably, he had never lived up to his potential but he remained close. Just imagining what he would have been like staying at Liverpool after the most successful season they had for a very long while.
His brief cameo at Cardiff City last year remains reasonably successful and Fowler willingness to go for a trial and risk of not getting a contract is remarkable and honour of his ability. Paul Ince has cut his old pal a deal but he must have proved worthy. It will not be easy for him but undoubtedly, he will try his very hardest.
His hat trick against Arsenal was always a highlight of mine, the fourth goal in the UFEA Cup final against Alaves, his goal against Birmingham in the League Cup final as well as coming on in the FA Cup final to inspire Owen’s two goal coming back against Arsenal. He always loved scoring passed Manchester United and that ‘chip’ is always fondly remembered by most.
Congratulations Robbie, good to have you back again. Let us hope for a repeat.
