Tut Tut, Bowyer taking credit for a Keano discovery :)

Doesn't he have more cause than most?

Per wiki Bowyer became the Rover's youth team coach after retiring as a player and reserve team manager in 2009. While I'm not sure of exact dates, from the Telegraph article he was clearly aware of Jones before Jones became a Rovers player.

And to Gary Bowyer's great credit he appears to give Steve Nixon the nod when it comes to spotting Jones in the first place.

All in all, Bowyer's far more sane on the issue than was Kean.

Discovery?

He came through the youth team and played his first game for the Rovers first team in September 2009 against Nottingham Forest. It was a league cup game.

His first game in the Premier League was against Chelsea in March 2010.

And the manager was Sam Allardyce.

Kean clearly spotted Jones in the youth set up and personally recommended him to Big Sam. How can you not know this?

I don't like to praise Kean lol

Anyway, the youth staff is more responsible for his development than Kean.

Kean spotted him whilst fighting off tigers on the mean streets of Glasgow ,when Jones was but a sperm in his Dad's testies, He nurtured him through his early years and took the young Jones along when he was running his invisible dog walking business passing on the pearls of wisdom he implemented when cutting grass at Reading. The rest as they say is history

Don't like Kean but credit where credit is due as without him football wouldn't have been invented

Kean no doubt discovered Bowyer as well so should take credit for anyone half decent who has come through over the last 9 years. Anyone rubbish isn't his fault though, you can blame the fans for them.

Its been mention before but Snake also discovered fire and invented the wheel.
