Robbie Fowler Has An Opinion
Robbie Fowler wears Fernando Torres jersey in charity event to highlight his disgust at the Spaniard's move
They obviously couldn't be bothered to display a picture of him in said shirt though
Liverpool great Robbie Fowler showed his disgust at the departure of Fernando Torres to Chelsea by wearing one of the Spaniard's No.9 jerseys on Friday.
Fowler donned the shirt as part of The Shirts That Hurt fundraiser for Queensland flood victims in Perth, and expressed his dismay at the sale of the former Anfield hero.
While many Liverpool fans burnt shirts carrying Torres' name this week after the record sale to the English Premier League champions, Fowler opted to don his - all in the name of charity.
"There is nothing wrong with the front of the shirt, it is the name on the back," Fowler blasted.
"I think it is quite apt to wear it for a worthy cause as it is something myself or any other Liverpool fan wouldn't be seen in."
Despite growing up a staunch Everton fan, Fowler is an Anfield legend, scoring 183 goals in 367 games, earning him the nickname "God" from supporters, and is now firmly in the red corner.
"There will be a lot of these shirts left in the cupboards, they will be surplus to requirement, I don't know what will happen to them," he said.
"With the transfer window closing he didn't leave the club in the best shape or circumstances, but it is good they have signed two excellent replacements in (Andy) Carroll and (Luis) Suarez."
Ironically Torres will make his Chelsea debut on Monday morning (AEDT) against his former teammates at Stamford Bridge.

Stay classy Mr Fowler... :/ Personally I think this is ridiculous (the fact he feels the need to talk about it/wear a Liverpool shirt, even if it has Torres's name on it), then again, I also think it's ridiculous that he plays for Perth Glory *ahem* oh wait, he pretty much IS Perth Glory...
I just noticed that the article doesn't explain (of course it doesn't) that The Shirts That Hurt was a thing where people wore their most hated rival team's gear in the name of charity.
