  Robbie Fowler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fowler, as of March 2005, is the third highest scorer in Premiership history, only behind Andy Cole and Alan Shearer, which considering his low scoring form of the 2000s, really underscores what a mercurial and prodigious talent he was in the 1990s.
Fowler was ranked with Alan Shearer as one half of "two of the most awesome finishers in English Football" by commentators like Alan Parry and Fowler further sealed this reputation as he scored more than 30 goals for three consecutive seasons, up to 1997.
Fowler's return against Birmingham City F.C. in February 2006 was labelled by the press as the stuff of fairytale, and not only did he come on to a rapturous reception in his first appearance for Liverpool in 4 years, Fowler created several openings and had an acrobatic goal ruled out for offside.
