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.

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a surprisingly good read, 31 Jul 2006

By	Mr. D. R. Glen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fowler: My Autobiography (Paperback)

As I am a United fan I picked this book up not expecting to like it at all, however I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not saying I like the fella, after all as a United fan that would not be socially acceptable would it! However, having read a fair few football autobiographys, they all seem much of a muchness, this one seems different to the other stories of, blahdy blah, practiced for 16 hours a day since the age of 6, blahdy blah, never had time for girls, friends or drink because of my dedication, blahdy blah, played for such and such a boys team etc. etc. Whenever I read a football autobiography I'm just rushing to get through the first few chapters to get the boring "early years" out of the way, however this book wasn't like that at all. He didn't bore me with the usual (as above), and his young life, though not necessarily interesting, was written in such a way that it kept me glued till the more interesting parts of when he signed for Liverpool. The language is quite harsh and not really for kids, but this is probably what makes the story so real and riveting. Very surprisingly frank account of his life, from someone I thought never had it in him. But he does. Nice one.
