Christened 'God' by the Kop, Robbie Fowler is one of the most revered players in Anfield history.
The Toxteth Terror is also one of the most natural goalscorers ever to wear the famous red shirt.
  A boyhood Evertonian, he switched allegiances aged 11 after being persuaded by scout Jim Aspinall to join Liverpool's Centre of Excellence. Even then, his vast potential was there for all to see as he tore apart just about every junior scoring record. Fowler progressed through the ranks as expected and in April 1992 was rewarded with a professional contract. Within nine months he appeared on a senior teamsheet for the first time when named as a sub in a third round FA Cup replay at home to Bolton. The lower league Trotters prevailed 2-0 on the night, proof if it was needed that Liverpool were crying out for a player like Fowler. Somehow boss Graeme Souness resisted the temptation to blood him until two months into the following season – but it was worth the wait.


The starlet netted on his debut in a League Cup match against Fulham before amazing spectators and pundits alike by scoring all five in the return leg at Anfield. An instinctive goal-poacher, Fowler ended the campaign as Liverpool's top scorer with 18. Aided by a fastest-ever Premiership hat-trick against Arsenal, his first full season transformed him from promising youngster to fully-fledged superstar. Breaching the 30-goal mark for the first time, the 1994-95 campaign ended with the Scouser clutching a Coca-Cola Cup winner's medal and the PFA Young Player of the Year award. What Fowler lacked in pace and height, he made up for with an uncanny ability to sniff out goals. Close-range tap-ins or 25-yard super strikes, the 'Growler' was wonderfully adept at both. The 1995-96 season saw him plunder 30-plus goals once more and retain his Young Player of the Year award. He outshone Eric Cantona on his over-hyped 'return', much to the chagrin of Sky TV no doubt, and fired the Reds to an FA Cup final appearance at Wembley.


Four goals at home to Middlesbrough in December 1996 brought his tally to 100 in less time than striking mentor Ian Rush, while another 30-goal haul the following season took Liverpool the closest they came to a 19th League Championship during this era. The classic 'local boy made good', Fowler's popularity among the fans was at a scale not seen since Kenny Dalglish in his pomp. To them, he could do wrong, even if his infamous Spice Boy image brought unwanted off-field attention.  A lovable rogue, Fowler never forgot where he came from and in 1997 famously went public with his support for the sacked Merseyside dockers during a UEFA Cup tie against Brann Bergen. The year also brought a UEFA Fair Play Award for admitting he had not been fouled by Arsenal keeper David Seaman after a penalty had been awarded during a league match at Highbury. Two serious injuries then forced him to endure a lengthy and frustrating spell on the sidelines, which coincided with the emergence of Michael Owen. But, although Fowler temporarily lost his 'golden boy' status, Owen could never boast the same kind of rapport with the Liverpool crowd.
