Channel flicking this morning I came across an old '1 to 11' show on SkySports, where footballers choose the best team from those they've played with.
Ian Harte (ex Leeds, R O I amongst others) chose Bowyer in his 11. He mentioned a couple of interesting Bowyerfacts.
They used to go carp fishing together. Harte says that Bowyer was/is a very good fisherman, always calm and relaxed when fishing in total contrast to his on field persona where he was always a bit wound up and very aggressive. (According to Harte who has a very high opinion of Bowyer)
Also, historically, Bowyer was the second most booked Premiership player when the programme was recorded in 2016. He's since been overtaken and demoted to third place by Wayne Rooney. The most booked ? .. Robbie Savage, little surprise there then
