Blackburn's Derbyshire keen to work with Fowler

Blackburn Rovers striker Matt Derbyshire is enjoying working with trialist Robbie Fowler.

"Robbie's a legend as we all know," the 22-year-old told the Lancashire Telegraph. "He's someone I always looked at when I was younger.

"When the Premiership Wonder Years were on television, Robbie Fowler would always be on there with Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.

"They've been the main three in the Premiership, Robbie's been part of that. He's a great finisher with a great footballing mind and I'll learn a lot from him.

"He's got great awareness in and around the box and if I can pick something like that up from him, that would be fantastic. It would help improve my game."
