The ex-Liverpool legend has recently made a debut in the acting world


Former Cardiff City striker Robbie Fowler has applied for the vacant manager’s job at Leeds United, say reports.

The ex-Liverpool legend, 39, made 30 apperances at Elland Road scoring 14 goals after leaving Anfield in 2001.

He also went on to play for Manchester City, the Bluebirds and Blackburn Rovers before finishing his career in Australia and Thailand.

Fowler has spoken recently of his regret at leaving Cardiff after four goals in 13 appearances for the Bluebirds.

Robbie Fowler scored six goals for Cardiff City

“When I think about regrets, leaving Cardiff is right up there,” he said.

“In terms of football that is easily the worst I’ve made. I left because Paul Ince was a friend and Blackburn was closer to home but with hindsight, I probably wouldn’t have done it.

“It certainly wasn’t a football decision. I enjoyed my time with Cardiff even though I had injury problems.”

The former Anfield striker added: “When I think of the friends I made in Cardiff and still speak to, I’m sad I left.

“There are Cardiff fans, I’m sure, who don’t particularly like me because of the way I left. The people of Cardiff always treated me well and I thank them for that.”

Interesting indeed, Annis :shock:

For me, not the right choice "at this time", but maybe as a striker coach (as suggested by Balfblue)?? :thumbup:
