Sounds like a great man and i hope GOD will follow in the tradition.He is already IMMORTALISED in his home citY. Robbie will give 100% to Cardiff

this won't be the first time you have heard these words,"you are a dickhead!" what a disgusting article. imagine the next person to be invited back to your place for a drink or meal, they'd sit down and then you'd start abusing them, "not as good as the last person the missus asked to dinner, she had big boobies!" why don't you wait till he has kicked a ball or say something like, "robbie joins a long list of great players to play for this club..." Stunned

if god gives you 100% then you lot have the best strike force in that division by far! and this a wxm an liverpool fan speaking

For once a thoughtful article which is worth some debate, as a Welshman I was to young to ever see John Charles play but I know of his achievements and he was a true great. However the gentle giant, now sadly deceased, was of a different generation and I believe it's very difficult to compare players from differing generations. As well as being Welsh I am a massive Liverpool fan and Robbie is the most natural finisher I've ever seen and that includes Ian Rush who would give John Charles a run for his money as the greatest Welsh player ever. So although constant injuries over the last 4 or 5 years have robbed Robbie of his pace if he stays fit he'll make Chopra look like a novice, don't rule Cardiff out for promotion yet again they look to have recruited well.

I'll never forget when Wales played Italy in 2002 - John Charles was presented to a capacity crowd before the game and received an incredible standing ovation not just from the home fans, but especially from the Italians. Quite a sight! Let's hope Fowler can live up to that - that he's still got the hunger to succeed.

I'm not sure it's entirely fair to compare an out-and-out striker like Robbie Fowler to a great all-rounder like John Charles. Compare Jimmy Greaves or Alan Shearer to Best or Gascoigne, and the single-purpose player will always come off second best. But even as an straightforward striker, I can't rate Robbie the best in Cardiff history. Trevor Ford unfortunately lacked the engaging personality of legends like Tommy Lawton, Nat Lofthouse, Lawrie Reilly and Jackie Milburn, and never became one. But, make no mistake, in his day, Trevor was as feared as any of them.
