Rod Owen update
Just to let those who care , I had Rod Owen come in to the pub that I work in today he had me make him a soy lettie which blew my mind lol .He's been booze free nearly six years (welldone) I asked him about since its 150th did he have any past player stuff this season? The answer was a sharp no! Not a fan of the current board , He said now's not the time for that to come out,but it will came out one day.my thoughts are that he looked fit, hopefully those inner demons are in a good place even as a 52yr old I still acted like a fan boy lol

Re: Rod Owen update
Was that meant to be a private conversation or did he know you were going to make the details public? I'm guessing it was the latter, because it's a s*** act if it wasn't.
Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.

Re: Rod Owen
Sorry, who treats him poorly? I thought the club responded the right way after that harrowing article about Rocket was published a couple of years ago. Or was it just lip service?Sebastian Tombs wrote: ↑Thu 21 Sep 2023 6:09pmHe looked good , shame those in power at the moment still treat him so

Very hard to pass any judgement on the current Board and Administration, based on a short conversation with a disgruntled ex player.Sebastian Tombs wrote: ↑Thu 21 Sep 2023 5:50pm Just to let those who care , I had Rod Owen come in to the pub that I work in today he had me make him a soy lettie which blew my mind lol .He's been booze free nearly six years (welldone) I asked him about since its 150th did he have any past player stuff this season?

What is beyond doubt is that the treatment of Rod as a young man was horrific and heartbreaking and I was pleased to read he was alcohol free for six years and looked fit.
For all my years following the Saints I still think Rod was the biggest unfulfilled talent I have seen at the club.
Such a shame he endured so much pain and mental turmoil.

If not for a set of circumstances outside his control - he would have been an absolute champion of the club
He was a young boy badly mismanaged by the club - in some ways a sign of the times and in other ways just very short sighted and stupid behavior from those at the club

That’s a myth.

Re: Rod Owen update
On the other hand, drinking cows milk is a big bowl of wrong. For starters, it’s meant to be consumed by baby cows, not people.Vortex wrote: ↑Fri 22 Sep 2023 6:37amFor all the Seinfeld fans....not that there's anything wrong with that.Sainternist wrote: ↑Thu 21 Sep 2023 11:39pmHahaha what’s wrong with drinking soy lattes?

Re: Rod Owen update
Owen came blame whoever he wishes, with some degree of culpability on their behalf. However, if he wants to identify the major influence of his woes he need only look in the mirror.

The estrogen in soy milk isn't processed by our bodies like normal estrogen.
It has no effect on hormones etc.
Simple
