FOWLER: I HAVEN'T FINISHED YET
Robbie Fowler today thanked the Liverpool fans for giving him such
great support during his second spell at the club - but vowed
there's still work to be done before he turns his thoughts to the
future.
Fowler was told this week his contract won't be renewed at the end
of the season, meaning Sunday's clash with Charlton will be the
last time the supporters see him in a red shirt at Anfield.
"Obviously it will be an emotional day for me, but I want everyone
to know I'm still completely focused on what I see as two very
important games," he said
"First I want to play well and win against Charlton to help us
finish in third, and then there's preparing for and hopefully
playing a part in the Champions League final.
"I'll think about everything else after that because I don't want
anything to interfere with such an important match.
"I also want people to know I've not even thought about the future
beyond Liverpool. The manager explained the situation to me this
week and it wasn't a big surprise, to be honest.
"But everyone knows I've treated every game back at Liverpool in
exactly the same way and given all I could for the team, and that's
going to be the case in the last two games as well."
Fowler also admitted he's grateful to be given the chance to say
'goodbye' to the fans after missing out on the opportunity when he
left in 2001.
"At least this time I will get a chance to say goodbye properly
because I was gutted the way it happened last time," he added
"Since I've been back, the support I've had from the fans has been
tremendous. It's been even better than it was first time
around.
"Maybe you appreciate it even more when you've been away and missed
it so much, but I'll never forget the reception they gave me and
will always be thankful for it. I just hope I can finish with a few
goals and a Champions League win.
"That would be the perfect way to end the season."
thank you so much!
