By George I've nothing to hide; Football's Mr Marmite.. Love him, hate him, you can't ignore him.


Byline: Robbie Savage
For the English footballer of the same name who was born in 1960, see Robert James Savage


Robbie Savage (born October 18 1974) is a professional footballer. He currently plays for Blackburn Rovers, and formerly played for the Welsh national team.
 

I'M shocked and disappointed to have been charged by the FA over my contract renegotiations with Blackburn in January 2007.

Their case seems to be I didn't have a written contract with George Urquhart, who helped me out with the deal, at the time.

I understand that the FA need to have rules to stop rogue agents ripping clubs and players off.

But there is nothing underhand here.

All our business has been done over a handshake handshake - handshaking  rather than anything written down because I'm a man of my word who believes in keeping his promises.

That's what I'll be telling the FA at the personal hearing.
