Yes I remember back then and my hero Robbie Fowler.
Robbie could never be described as a malicious player or a cheat. In fact after a game with Arsenal he had received a letter from Sepp Blatter congratulating him on his fair play.
During the game Fowler had won a penalty after stumbling in the box. It wasn't a foul, simply Robbie tripping over, yet instead of just accepting his good fortune he ran over to the referee to try and get the decision overturned - an incredible act of sportsmanship and something that is very rarely seen in the modern game.
Torres for instance, looks to get opposing player booked at every opportunity, a good player but not fit to lace Robbie’s boots as far as true sportsmanship goes.
