5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic insight into a true star, 16 Sep 2005

By A Customer

This book is a lot more than your typical football autobiography. This is Robbie's attempt to tell his remarkable story from Toxteth to Anfield and beyond, as well as putting to bed the rumours about drug addiction that have plagued his career since the early days, exposing the truth behind how he was very deceitfully forced out of the club he gave everything to and ultimately standing up to those who said he was finished as a footballer.

Robbie is the first to admit he is no saint and he honestly describes the events that have landed him in hot water, but it would be extremely hard for supporters of any team not to sympathise with this player whose career has been ravaged by injury since late 1997 and whose "personal life" has been created by the media who have always sought to destroy him.

A great read for anyone who is a Robbie fan, a football fan, or even a fan of a fascinating story well told.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth the price tag, 26 Jan 2006

By	"bessybunter" - See all my reviews

I enjoyed reading this book almost as much as Shankly's. I would definitely say it rates amongst the best Liverpool FC autobiographies ever written, unlike Michael Owen's which was about as exciting as my big toe. It is difficult to choose a favourite part although I would definitely cite the story of 'little Robert Ryder' and the Glenn Hoddle incident(s) as highlights, simply because I had heard nothing about either tale before reading the book. It was also interesting to be given an insight into Robbie's relationship with Houllier and Thompson. If his account is true, he definitely got a raw deal and deserved to be showed a lot more respect for his loyalty to the club. And it did make me sad to be reminded how much home grown and English talent was lost in that era. There was only one feature that annoyed me slightly. It just seemed as though Robbie tried to justify certain incidents by claiming they weren't such a big deal because everyone else (at United or wherever) was at it as well. A very interesting theory...
Then again if you read what he has to say, you may agree with him. I would recommend the book to all Liverpool fans but I reckon most football fanatics would love it too. (I got it for Christmas off me nan and even she read a bit before she EVENTUALLY handed it over!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, interesting and fairly honest... I think!, 2 Jun 2006

By	Mr. G. Criddle - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read this book when it came out a few months ago and i have given it 4 stars beaause it is a thoroughly entertaining read. How fowler grew up, his addiction to football and the feelings it gave him and the abuse of the everton fans that drove him to being a red through and through. Fowler's denial of drug abuse holds up (has he ever tested positive or conveniently forgotten the test (Rio!)?); he also admits that sometimes his seriousness and dedication was lacking, something which many of us are guilty of! The book does not get 5 stars though because Fowler does not seem to recognise that with perhaps extra dedication at a time when most of the footballing world was turning itself into super-athletes, then maybe he would have won titles for himself and Liverpool and maybe more other trophies. Fowler puts it down to bad luck, but you make your own luck don't you? He is still GOD and i am delighted to see him back at Anfield. Now the chance for the perfect ending to this wonderful story is all down to Robbie!
