Robbie Fowler?

I'm missing the reference.

I'm missing the reference.

When we lived in the UK circa early 2000s, he was renowned for buying up whole streets of cheap terraces with his football pay. Liverpool fans would chant "we all live in a Robbie Fowler house", to the tune of yellow submarine.
