DEEP THINKER

Last updated : 02 February 2003 By Editor

From The Observer:

'It's been a difficult time for Robbie,' says Kevin Keegan. 'He's a deep thinker.' It's true - Robbie's deepest thoughts have made headlines for years: snorting a white-line pitch marking, waving his buttocks at Graeme Le Saux, breaking his nose on a fist at a hotel, being arrested days after joining Leeds (trying to fit in), landing a black eye in a chat with a barman at 2am, cutting up Neil Ruddock's £300 Gucci shoes and getting nailed on the nose, dropping his shorts at Leicester fans, trashing Trevor Sinclair's hotel room and telling celebrity hoaxer The Serial Caller he wouldn't do a children's road-safety campaign because 'I don't get out of bed for less than 50 grand.' (SC: 'Not even if it's for doing lollipops, crossing the road - that kind of stuff?' RF: 'Well.' [pause] 'Oh. I'll do it for 20 then...' )

Ed. When I was typing ‘thinker’ I kept missing out the ’H’ - I almost kept it like that.
