Christmas Spirit Quote by Robbie Fowler

"If you pray enough for things, I am proof that they can happen. I feel like a kid on Christmas day now, every day. It's something I have wanted for a long time and I am as happy as anyone to be here. It is great to be back at my first love"

About this Quote

Faith gets treated like a private ritual; Fowler flips it into a public victory lap. “If you pray enough for things, I am proof that they can happen” isn’t theology so much as sports mythology: the idea that wanting something hard enough can bend reality. Coming from an athlete, it lands less as sermon and more as permission slip for fans to believe their own longing mattered, too. It’s a clever bit of emotional engineering. He’s not only celebrating a move; he’s turning the moment into a shared narrative of destiny fulfilled.

The “kid on Christmas day” line is doing heavy lifting. Christmas is anticipation, surprise, innocence - all the feelings professional sport routinely sells but rarely earns. Fowler’s phrasing tries to reset the clock, casting a veteran’s return as pure first-time wonder. That’s the subtext: we’re not watching a late-career transaction, we’re witnessing a homecoming that restores a lost self.

“Great to be back at my first love” is the kicker, because it’s romantic language applied to a club. It frames loyalty as something felt in the body, not negotiated in contracts. In the context of modern football’s constant churn, it’s a direct appeal to nostalgia - not naive nostalgia, but the kind supporters crave when money and management decisions make affection feel risky. Fowler positions himself as the exception: proof that the storybook ending still occasionally happens.
