Mark Lawrenson Predicts Robbie Keane To Win Golden Boot
“LAWR-DOH,” screams the Sun’s back page as Mark Lawrenson has been “left red faced by a hugely embarrassing on-air gaffe that has enraged Liverpool fans”.
What’s he done to upset the famously stoic Liverpudlians?
Nodding his head on Today FM, Lawrenson reveals:
“I was having a drink with Steven Gerrard [who has the same agent as Robbie Keane]…he thinks something’s going to happen with Keane in January. It sounds like he could be moving on.”
Howls of derision and much ululating and tearing of hair.
This is Lawro, scion of the Kop. Can he be right? Will Keane move on? Let’s look at some of Lawro’s other predictions:
He has so far this season twice topped Hull to win Premier League matches and lose 11 times. Hull have to date won 7 and lost 4 times.
That’s the thing with Lawro – he’s never wrong…

He said “I hate to name-drop but I was having a drink with Stevie Me and etc.”
You don’t say.
Never liked the lad from Preston in the punditry stakes, he always tries to get up on bandwagons and in the football forums everyone loved ripping apart his predictions and what might motivate him to make them.
Anyway, I met a civil servant at Vauxhall a few years ago, a Brighton fan, I went into my usual schtik about Lawro the twat and he told me about the the time that Lawro played for them and how good he was and of the time that they went up to Anfield and some of them went into the Kop, as you did back in those days, the police ushered them in there, mind.
Behind him was this huge Albert Dockworking-looking man and as Lawro was impressing in front of the Kop-end the Big lad asked who that player was, on being told he replied “Next week, he’ll be with us”. And so it was. An early correct prediction for Lawro, and going against the general grain from then on.
Sorry that was also in the context of the “bad for football” cries that some Liverpool fans aim at others and the whole Moores pools money bankrolling the 80s success.
