Cardiff City Goals - Jason Fowler - Football Genius

[J R Hartley]

Around about 1997 he was

96/97 he was arguably our best player and he was excellent in the 98/99 promotion season too.

Bowen joined Leggy from Reading in the second half of that 98/99 season and got some important goals to get us over the line.

Jason Bowen was a quality player, played with his head up, as did Fowler, that's a rare and difficult trait. Bowen should have played at a much higher level than he did. So laid back.

Agreed.

Fowler had ability but I think he lacked the pace and energy to play further up the leagues.

And quickness. I don't think that people appreciate how quickly things happen with good players. It's their thinking that is better.

I was calling Colwill Jason Fowler's lovechild when I saw him playing for the Academy years ago. I still would now, I think.

Good shout is that. Where are you on the Development of Colwill?

He's been better this season but it's slow progress. It was this Saturday two years ago when he scored that great free kick against QPR, since then he's had one goal and one assist in the league. It's a poor return. I want him to succeed here but I'm never convinced it's going to happen, I'd love to be proved wrong though.

It's funny how a player like Fowler gets talked about as a legend here when he'd hardly have got a kick in the Championship if he was with us now. That's how it goes though, he's certainly not the only one you can say that about.
