higher Lambert had some natty skills , fairly wild hair and poss a bit of a naughty boy and early hopes dashed as he faded from view.Thats about where the comparison stops.On pure raw talent and abilty to dominant a game of football singlehandedly neither Lambert or indeed anyone has ever come near RF.
Another mention from the book was in his early days as a youngster Robin played 5 a side at his local sports center and these matches were attended by a large number who came soley to watch this mecurial talent perform. One is left to wonder if the right person had managed to take the young Robin under their wing at that early stage and gently mentored him what may have been.
One things for sure unlike Beckham there would will be no Robin Friday perfume on the market this Christmas.
Surely the comparison is that they both had undoubted talent, could of played at a higher level but both pissed it away.
