I wasnt goin to put this up but our Robbie's had well more than his share of bad press over the years, so here goes.
I recently did a portrait of Robbie, and a good mate of mine is very close to the great man having been with him since day one. Well my mate Bob, who gets quite a few mentions in Robbies recent book, heard i'd done a portrait so came around to my gaff to see for himself.
Thankfully he was very impressed with it and asked me if he wanted to take it away and get Robbie to sign it. But i asked Bob what the chances were of me meetin him and gettin it signed. He said to leave it with him and he'd see what he could do.
So this is what happened. Last tuesday at 1.30pm there was a knock at the front door, and as our door is almost half glass i could see Robbie standing there so i opened the door to Bob and the great man himself! It was just unbelievable to see "GOD" standing there.
I greeted them and asked them in. There's me inviting Robbie Fowler in to my gaff, just really unbelievable, Priceless x100! We went into the dining room and there was the portrait , he was made up with it and i asked him to sign it for me. Now as you can imagine i was inundated with requests for a signed copy, so i eventually wittled it down to 15. Robbie obliged wi no hesitation at all, as we chatted about the pre-season training and the world cup, which he wasnt impressed with either.
I got a few photies of course, and will treasure them till the day i die. Now Robbie had come from melwood after the first training session of the day and from ours he went back for the afternoon session. What a Legend he is, how many players today would do a thing like that. I was very impressed at the way he looked too, "fit as fuck" i think the saying goes. He really did look good and very slim indeed. He's obviously looked after himself during the summer break.
Just imagine what a fully fit Robbie Fowler will do this coming season, a mouthwatering prospect indeed. As i said at the start, its about time "GOD" got some good press for a change and this is why i've posted this.
It just proves what kind of person Robbie is, a down to earth Red footballing Genius, and also a gentlmen.
Just incase Robbie reads this, i'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart mate. I am still buzzin off your visit, and to say that dreams do come true. God bless ya Robbie, or just bless yourself!
