Former Newcastle midfielder Lee Bowyer has revealed that his decision to turn down a move to Liverpool was a mistake.The former Premier League ace was halfway through his medical at Liverpool but he decided to join Newcastle in 2003 instead.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the former Newcastle midfielder revealed: “I was very close [to joining Liverpool] – I was halfway through a medical but it just didn’t feel right for me at the time. That is my biggest regret in football not going to Liverpool at that time. If I could’ve turned the clock back, I would’ve gone. Looking back, I made the wrong decision.”
