Fowler is and will always be loved at Liverpool

Robbie Fowler is a Liverpool legend and a Kop hero who will never be forgotten.
From joining the club at the age of 11 to scoring on his debut against Fulham in the League Cup, and captaining Liverpool to their treble success in 2000-2001, the Kop took the Toxteth goals maestro to their hearts and it was a sad day when he left for Leeds in November 2001.

Fowler was born to score goals and is widely recognised as one of the best finishers in Europe. After shooting England under-18's to glory in the 1993 European Championships, he burst onto the Liverpool first team scene early in the 1993/94 season. It was Graeme Souness who handed him his debut and he responded by scoring in a 3-1 League Cup win against Fulham at Craven Cottage. In the return at Anfield he hit the headlines with an amazing five-goal haul!

The Young Player of the Year in both 1995 and 1996, he scored 18 goals in his debut season, and became the first Liverpool player for six years to pass the 30 goal mark in 1994-95. The following season he repeated the amazing feat and made his England debut against Bulgaria.

In the wake of constant transfer speculation he has continually pledged his future to the Reds and following a frustrating spell out of the side through injury he bounced back to prove that he is still one of the most lethal finishers in the game.

In February 2001 he became the first Liverpool captain to lift a trophy since 1995, holding aloft the Worthington Cup in Cardiff, after he had spectacularly opened the scoring against Birmingham.

Although left out of the starting line-up in both the FA and UEFA Cup Final he twice came off the bench to make a vital contribution, especially in Dortmund where he scored Liverpool's fourth goal against Alaves.

To round off an unforgettable season he bagged a brace in the final Premiership game of the season at Charlton that confirmed Liverpool's qualification for the Champions League. One of the goals was a spectacular overhead kick and his tally for the 2000-2001 season was 17 goals.

His final goals for Liverpool was a hat-trick against Leicester City at Filbert Street on 20th October, 2001.

He was transferred to Leeds United on November 30th, 2001.
