Iain Dowie

Iain Dowie (born 9 January 1965) is an English-born Northern Irish football manager, former professional footballer and sports television pundit.

As a player he was a striker from 1983 until 2001, notably in the Premier League for Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham United. He earned 59 caps for Northern Ireland, scoring 12 goals. He also played in the Football League for Luton Town, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers, and in Non-league for Cheshunt, St Albans City and Hendon. After retiring from playing he went on to manage Oldham Athletic, Crystal Palace, Charlton Athletic, Coventry City, Queens Park Rangers and Hull City (Football Management Consultant).

Club career

Born in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, Dowie was rejected by Southampton aged 16 and later went to the University of Hertfordshire to study for a M.Eng Degree in Engineering. On completion he became an employee of British Aerospace, whilst keeping up football at non-League level playing for Cheshunt alongside his brother Bob. He left Cheshunt to improve his fitness and signed for St Albans City, then moved on to Hendon. While playing for Hendon, Dowie was spotted by Luton Town who signed him in the 1988–89 season, when they were in the First Division. An old-fashioned centre-forward, he then moved in quick succession to Fulham (a brief loan spell), before establishing himself as a first team player in the 1989–90 season when his eight goals in 29 league games helped Luton finish seventh.

Famous quotes by Iain Dowie:

"My commitment is unequivocal."

"I'm more than happy for Sven to come here,"

"We have to keep the crowd on their toes,"

"I think that in a week to 10 days, he could be back in the running environment."

"If I was to say where we were, I'd say we were at about 80-85 per cent where we can be."

"I wouldn't mind one or two more and the chairman is very aware of that and we'll try and press on on all fronts."

"There were plenty of fireworks on the pitch, but the only flares on display were those on Nigel's suit."

"It's a St Valentine's Day box of chocolates, one that I am going to enjoy and I hope that when I unwrap it it has got a soft centre."

"Marco has shown us that he is a great kid in training and I felt that it was the right time for him after he had showed more than enough in a recent reserve game at Arsenal,"

"If he had played in Northern Ireland (when England lost 1-0), he would have been a breath of fresh air. He has six goals already this season, and he will score at international level."

Something Broken

by: John Hiatt

There's something broken in my heart
Oh it was nothing you done
There's something broken in my heart
I guess that's just the way it comes
There's something broken in my heart
Something I just can't fix
There's something broken
Something broken in my heart
I've tried every powder and every pill
To put it back together somehow
Rode high with the fool up on the hill
Come down with the draft horse and the plow
I've been to the land of milk and honey
And honey I'm broke down now
There's something broken
Something broken in my heart
I'm gonna go downtown tonight and find me a woman
Try to keep those jagged edges from my mind
And if I don't start a fight I'll just keep running
'Till I break on through into the morning light
There's something broken in my heart
Oh it was nothing you done
There's something broken in my heart
I know I'm not the only one
There's something broken in my heart
Something I just can't fix
There's something broken
