Mersey Moments: Robbie Fowler 'Dockers T-Shirt'

Two dockers recall the importance of support from footballer Robbie Fowler during a strike.

Kudos to Fowler for highlighting the workers plight. John Lennon donated money to the Glasgow shipyard workers in the early seventies as they fought to save there industry. Love and respect from the green half of Glasgow.

Yeah but they put a stop to political stuff, then had players taking a knee for some American career criminal 2022

[@ermaduk]

in his book Robbie said it was Steve MacManaman's idea and he gave Robbie the dockers shirt. The idea was to show them after the game, Macca had one too, but Robbie didn't wait. :) He even got fined for that. Way to go supporting common folk from his area!

Yeah like the fine really hurt his pocket

I'm trying to trace where this original footage comes from and who made it as I'd like to use some of it in a documentary I'm making. Can anyone help me trace the original ta!

Sort of marks the end of the 'old school' football, the last semblance of working class credentials before English top-flight football sold out completely.
Massive respect Robbie, although stop buying up all the social housing in Oldham please
