‘No disrespect’… Robbie Fowler makes brutally honest admission about swapping Liverpool for Leeds United
Robbie Fowler was once a hero at Leeds United, loved by many fans, but recent remarks suggest he may not have felt the same way about his time at the club.
Leeds has had some standout strikers throughout the years, including Mark Viduka, Robbie Keane, and Jermaine Beckford. However, Fowler also had a brief stint at Elland Road in 2001 after signing from Liverpool. Despite his short stay, the former Reds legend managed an impressive 14 goals in 33 appearances, including a quirky moment where he scored three goals while carrying a coin.
For years, the relationship between Fowler and Leeds seemed positive, but his recent comments may have strained that bond.
Robbie Fowler’s Candid Admission About Joining Leeds
Fowler, who has always been deeply associated with Liverpool, admitted that leaving Anfield was difficult for him. This aligns with a comment from Nigel Martyn, who suggested that Leeds shouldn’t have signed Fowler. The 49-year-old’s recent remarks seem to support this sentiment.
In an appearance on talkSPORT’s The Lineup, Fowler spoke about his time at Leeds and made a rather blunt statement:
“I genuinely didn’t want to leave Liverpool. This is no disrespect to Leeds or Man City, and I know Leeds and City fans won’t hold this against me. I realised, these are not as good as Liverpool.”
Despite His Remarks, Fowler Still Cares About Leeds
Fowler’s comments may upset some Leeds fans, but it doesn’t mean he has lost all affection for the club. He has previously expressed concern over decisions made by the 49ers, particularly criticizing the sale of Archie Gray, which shows he still keeps a close eye on the club.
Although Fowler’s time at Leeds was brief, his comment about not wanting to join the club may seem harsh, especially given his roots in Merseyside. However, it’s not entirely surprising given his deep ties to Liverpool.
Leeds fans may find Fowler’s remarks disappointing, but they should take them with a pinch of salt, as he remains a keen observer of Daniel Farke’s team.
