Figurita 124 - Bobby Flowers - Southampton (Inglaterra)

* English version below

Bobby Flowers un pibe que prometía en el Southampton. Desbordaba, tiraba centros, bicicletas y no lo podían parar. En sus primeros partidos en el club marco varios goles y rápidamente la hinchada lo adopto como el ídolo del presente y del futuro.

Tras rechazar un par de ofertas de equipos de Italia y España, Bobby Flowers encaro su primera temporada como titular con apenas 19 años.

Durante la pretemporada en Suiza, el Southampton enfrentaba al Servette de dicho país. En medio del partido una de las facciones de la barrabrava del equipo suizo conocida como “La Gruyere” embosco a la facción de “Los Relojeros” provocando una trifulca que termino con la caballería Suiza en medio de la tribuna tirando gas lacrimógeno.

Lamentablemente el destino le jugo una mala pasada a Bobby Flowers que se acerco a ver que pasaba en la tribuna, un oficial de caballería lo quiso alejar y ante la negativa de Bobby el uniformado procedió a rociarlo con gas pimienta. El problema fue que al aerosol lo habían cargado mal y le pusieron gas neurotoxico.

Fin de carrera para Bobby Flowers que quedo con severos daños cerebrales. Hoy mira videos en youtube de barrabravas de todo el mundo y se la pasa cantando adentro del hospital psiquiátrico en el que esta internado en las afueras de Southampton, a veces pegándole a otros internos creyendo que son hinchas de un equipo rival.
