Underwhelmed by his contribution to our team. No loss whatsoever when he returned to Derby. Seemed a likeable guy.

Well it seems the general feeling is a negative one. I am surprised, i realise Robbie is not the most popular character within the footballing world however this is usually with the opposition fans. Supporters of the team he plays for usually adore him and appreciate his work ethic, never say die attitude and will to win.
Whilst i appreciate your feedback, could anybody please provide more detailed reports.
Thank You

Bob Booker or someone wore one of those high vis jackets and pretended to be a concierge, told him he would find somewhere to park his car and then just drove off with it.

Played in Ugg boots, warmed down sprinting to his Lamborghini and body language was strictly ball room of which there was little in his fabulously tight shorts, yum
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, accept this isn't a wind-up and take your request at face value.
In which case, you really really need to look at the purpose of your book. If you're after details such as what kind of boots he wore and what time did he get to the ground, then you're hurtling towards creating the most boring book ever. And then some.
If however you want to come up with something even vaguely readable, then you've actually been given several points well worth investigating here. Yet they seem to have passed you by.
How and why a 'star' player might treat a loan to a lower league club as beneath him.
What effect this has on that club's performance (see Leicester game).
How the fans of such a club might feel about this.
All within a wider editorial picture of what happens to a player as their career starts to wane and end.
In addition, the incident with his car would make a possible anecdote, and bobzam's picture a perfect accompaniment to the pages on his time at Brighton – you should be chasing him for usage permission.

if I were a vacuous, thick slut I would try to give him one
It's pretty simple, he showed up, strolled around on the pitch for a few games, didn't do an aweful lot of good, got subbed several times and f***ed off. I never saw any sign of anything approaching a 'work ethic, never say die attitude and will to win.'

Give him some credit though, he has only had good things to say about our club since........until he read this thread!

I'll give him this one positive story, nothing to do with his football. After one game he came into the hospitality hut and signed autographs, posed for photos etc with many appreciative laydees, a model of celebrity, and really couldn't have been nicer. He was pretty much last to leave and on returning to his Lambo saw a group of youngsters looking at it, he blipped the button and let them all crawl around inside it, take photos etc. He then saw a a young girl in a wheelchair on the other side of the arnco (if you remember the players car park at Withdean) and she was waving to him. He went over to her, posed for several photos, signed shirts, programs etc, then went back to his car, had a couple more photos with the youngsters and drove off. This was a good hour and a half if not more after the final whistle.
It was a shame he didn't get it together on the pitch, I guess he bought the wrong boots.

Supporters know when a player isn't putting it all in. We were all looking forward to seeing what Robbie could do, but it was honestly very mediocre and half hearted. He could have been a legend, but we were left thinking 'what the f*** was that all about'. Sorry if that doesn't go along with your image of him, but at least its an honest view. He was a let down.
Well... an initial search of IP addresses etc.. suggests, however unlikely, that this is not a regular NSCer, or is someone being very 'careful'.
So, unbelievably, it just might be genuine!

He was useless for us, but can’t help but like the bloke.
A couple of things – not sure if these will be of any use whatsoever:
You might want to use the search function – sure there will be loads of stuff back in the official match threads of the time...
Wasn’t there a story on here about him holed up in his hotel room overindulging in porn during his time here?
Saw him in West Lower after Doncaster - as he was walking through some joker gave him a light kick up the arse and he stopped and laughed.
Can’t help on what colour his boots were (!?!)
And I look forward to seeing a copy of the book in the British Library – it’s vital that tomes such as this are recorded for posterity for our childrens children.

Thank you very much i will take those points into consideration and have noted them.
I do not believe i will be creating the most boring book ever as you state it. I can admit that the book will only cater for those of a certain taste and realise that someone with perhaps no interest in football would find my book dull, however there is a huge market out there for books about footballers, their lives and careers. Especially footballers as high profile as Robbie Savage. A friend of mine is currently writing a book of a similar style about Stephen Carr, a very good footballer and fairly well known in the United Kingdom, however not quite as high profile. I do think his book will be a success though.

That is a very positive story and one side of Robbie Savage the public rarley get to see. Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately it doesn't look like i will be writing an awful lot of positive things about Robbie on the pitch at Brighton & Hove Albion however off the pitch, it looks to be a completely different story.
