Club career

[edit]

Charlton Athletic

[edit]

Born inCanning Town,London,[1]Bowyer played for youth teamSenrab[3]before joiningCharlton Athleticas a schoolboy.[4]He turned professional in April 1994.[1]He first drew attention in 1995, when he and teammateDean Chandlerfailed a drugs test forcannabisuse. Bowyer was dropped from the England under-18 squad and suspended for eight weeks while he took part in a rehabilitation course organised bythe Football Association(the FA).[5][6]He went on to become a first-team regular, making 58 appearances for Charlton and scoring 14 goals.[7]A particular highlight was Bowyer's hat-trick in a memorable 5–4 victory over Wimbledon FC in a League Cup second round first leg tie in September 1995.[8]

Leeds United

[edit]

In 1996, he was signed byLeeds UnitedmanagerHoward Wilkinsonfor £2.8 million, which was a record for a British teenager.[9]Later the same year, Bowyer was convicted ofaffrayand fined £4,500 following an incident in aMcDonald'srestaurant in London in whichCCTV footageshowed Bowyer throwing chairs and racially abusing a staff member of Asian origin.[10][11]

Initially, Bowyer was kept out of the Leeds first team byAlfie HaalandandDavid Hopkin;he eventually replaced Hopkin in the1998–99season, and from then on was a first-team regular. He was a key player inDavid O'Leary's Leeds side that qualified for theChampions Leaguein1999–2000,and which reached the semi-finals of theUEFA Cupin 2000 and the Champions League in 2001. In the Champions League run he scored crucial goals againstA.C. Milan,BarcelonaandAnderlecht.He was voted the Leeds player of the year by supporters in both 1998–99[9]and 2000–01.[12]

Following an incident near a Leeds nightclub in January 2000, in which an Asian student suffered severe injuries, Bowyer and teammateJonathan Woodgatewere charged with causinggrievous bodily harmwith intent and affray.[13]An initial trial atKingston upon Hull Crown Courtcollapsed in April 2001 after an article in a Sunday newspaper,[14]and following a second trial at the same venue which ended in December 2001, Bowyer was cleared of both charges while Woodgate was convicted of affray and sentenced tocommunity service.[15]Bowyer was generally recognised as playing some of the finest football of his career during this period[16]and would often go straight from court to play for Leeds.[17]In 2005, the player agreed a £170,000 out-of-court settlement of a civil action for damages brought by the victim and his brother, who had been less seriously hurt in the assault.[18]

After Bowyer's acquittal, Leeds fined him four weeks' wages for a breach of the club's code of conduct. Despite having had the backing of the club during the trial and the club paying his extensive legal fees, Bowyer took exception to the fine and was placed on the transfer list.[19]The dispute was later settled and Bowyer removed from the transfer list,[20]though he returned to it at the end of the season after turning down a new five-year contract. A £9 million fee was agreed for a move toLiverpool,which fell through with managerGérard Houlliernot convinced the player had the "hunger or desire" to play for the club.[21]In January 2003, Bowyer signed forWest Ham United.[22]He had made 265 appearances for Leeds in all competitions, scoring 55 goals.[7]

West Ham United

[edit]

Bowyer signed forWest Ham Unitedon an initial six-month contract for a nominal transfer fee, which meant that should West Ham be relegated at the end of the 2002–03 season, the club would not be burdened with a large Premiership salary.[23]The transfer was not popular with a section of West Ham supporters who questioned Bowyer's attitude towards racism. A protest against his signing was held outsideUpton Parkbefore Bowyer's introduction to the crowd.[24]Claims that Bowyer would have received a £1 million bonus had West Ham stayed up were denied by the club's then managerGlenn Roeder.[25]In the event, Bowyer was hampered by ankle injuries and made only eleven appearances for West Ham.[26]West Ham were relegated and Bowyer was not offered another contract.[26]

Newcastle United

[edit]

After West Ham were relegated at the end of the 2002–03 season, Bowyer joinedNewcastle Unitedon afree transferin July 2003.[27]

In April 2005, Bowyer was in the media spotlight again after an on-pitch brawl with teammateKieron Dyerin Newcastle United'sPremier Leaguematch withAston Villa.This resulted in a red card, plus an automatic three-game ban, for each player.The Football Associationfined Bowyer £30,000 and imposed an additional three-game ban, and the club fined him six weeks' wages; Dyer was not fined as Bowyer was perceived to have thrown the first punch. In addition, Bowyer was charged byNorthumbria Policein connection with the brawl with offences under section four of thePublic Order Act.He pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of using threatening behaviour and was fined £600 and ordered to pay £1,000 costs.[28]

Bowyer made 98 appearances for Newcastle in all competitions and scored 11 goals.[7]

Return to West Ham United

[edit]

Bowyer rejoined West Ham United, the club he supported as a boy, in June 2006 for an undisclosed fee, declaring that he had "unfinished business" with the club.[29]He made 22 appearances in the 2006–07 season,[30]which was disrupted by a dislocated shoulder suffered in West Ham United's 6–0 loss toReadingin January 2007.[31]However, Bowyer made a quick and sooner-than-expected recovery and played in five of West Ham's crucial games towards the end of the season.[30]

He regained a regular place in the Hammers first team at the beginning of the 2007–08 season, scoring his first goals for West Ham againstWigan AthleticandMiddlesbrough,and then two more in the 5–0 victory overDerby County.[32]

Birmingham City

[edit]

In January 2009, Bowyer signed forBirmingham Cityon loan until the end of the 2008–09 season.[33]He made his debut on 17 January at home toCardiff Cityin theChampionship,scoring an equalising goal in the fourth minute ofstoppage timeto make the score 1–1.[34]Following the expiry of his contract with West Ham United, Bowyer signed a two-year contract with Birmingham in July 2009.[35]He scored winning goals in consecutive Premier League matches, againstFulhamandWolverhampton Wanderers,to take Birmingham into a mid-table position at the end of November,[36][37]and was part of the team that went on a run of 15 games unbeaten in all competitions, including a club record 12 unbeaten in the top flight,[38]as they finished in ninth place, the club's best for more than 50 years.[39]

In September 2010 Bowyer was forced to apologise for verbally abusing aWest Bromwich Albionsupporter. The incident occurred following Bowyer's substitution after he had committed a rash challenge onGabriel Tamaș.[5]In the absence through injury ofCraig Gardner,Bowyer returned to the starting eleven for the match against championsChelseain November 2010, and scored the only goal of the game to give his team a surprise victory,[40]and then followed that up with a late equaliser againstManchester United.[41]In January 2011, television replays highlighted incidents,[42]unnoticed by the match referee, in which Bowyer stamped on Arsenal defenderBacary Sagnaand appeared to rake his studs down the same player'sAchilles.Suggestions in the media that Bowyer could receive a six-match ban[43]prompted Birmingham manager Alex McLeish to argue that the football authorities were not treating all clubs equally when using television evidence.[42][44]Bowyer received the standard three-match ban for violent conduct.[45]

From 2010, Bowyer held the record for mostyellow cardsreceived in the Premier League;[3]by the end of that year, he had 98 yellow cards in the competition as well as five red.[5][46][A]

He made his first appearance in a major final in February 2011, in the starting eleven as Birmingham defeated favourites Arsenal 2–1 in theLeague Cup FinalatWembley Stadium.[50]At that time, it was reported that he was not to be offered a contract extension,[50]in May, McLeish indicated an offer would be made,[51]but after Birmingham's relegation to the Championship, Bowyer left the club when his contract expired at the end of the 2010–11 season.[52]

Charlton won the away leg 2–1, courtesy of goals fromJoe AriboandLyle Taylor.[69]Doncaster's 88th-minute goal meant the second leg finished 3–3 in normal time.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^Some media sources reported that the booking received on 5 March 2011 made him the first player to reach 100 yellow cards in the Premier League, although the Premier League recorded it as his 99th.[46][47][48]As clarified byESPNsoccernetstatistician Norman Hubbard, although Bowyer had beenshown100 yellow cards, official statistics "do not count games in which two bookings led to a sending-off", so by standard definitions, he had only 99 that counted as yellow cards.[49]As of August 2014,no player has reached 100 Premier League yellow cards.[46]
