£12m Robbbie Fowler signs for Leeds United



By Myles Palmer

Stuart Taylor played, not Stack – and Arsenal beat Grimsby 2-0.

Amazingly, both goals were HEADERS by Edu and Wiltord, crosses by Pennant very early and Bergkamp very late.

Yes, Arsenal scored two goals with headers- and I was not there to see it. Damn!

But tonight’s big news comes from a friend who has just spoken to Leeds Chairman Peter Ridsdale.

England’s most gifted sharpshooter, the goal genius we have written about so much on ANR, the striker Arsene Wenger has always wanted, has agreed personal terms with Leeds.

Robbie Fowler will have a medical tomorrow.

Great news for England !

Robbie needs to be cherished, needs to play regularly.

He will add class, perception to Leeds, as well as goals.

It’s a great move which will give Kewell and Viduka a big lift.

Which they need after Australia were stuffed 3-0 in Uruguay.

But where does this leave my other favourite, Robbie Keane?
