Bouncebackability is a word that was inadvertently coined by mediocre manager and Easter Island statue lookalike Iain Dowie. As often happens, the media got hold of it and flogged it to death. Dowie, who is best known for his grotesque gargoyle face, isn’t a natural orator and often struggles to find legitimate words to populate his sentences. Therefore it was a routine visit to a conversational cul-de-sac that caused him to utter the Dowie-ism ‘bouncebackability’ while celebrating a gritty comeback win with Crystal Palace. He would never hear the last of it.
