Just a quick question for you Ed001. Why did Fowler never become a massive player for England?

He was my favourite player as a kid and from what I remember he was amazing. I mean his nickname is God. Just doesn't make sense for someone who had a better all round game than Owen to not get at least 50 odd caps for England.

{Ed001's Note - because he didn't play for a London side.}

Very few players, for Liverpool, have excited me as much as Robbie.

Between 93-98 he was simply out of this world! He could score any type of goal, left foot, right, header, pens, free kicks, tap-ins, long range screamers. he had the lot!

His most memorable goal?

The screamer he scored against Villa at Anfield!
Just watch the flick that completely bewilders Stan Staunton, then watch Mark Bosnich! He sees the shot all the and gets nowhere near it!

He would, without doubt IMO, be a £100m+ player in today’s market.

I've never been able to forget the back heel pass to himself (against Celtic I think) it was just jaw on the floor moment, God.

How about the goal he scored at Old Trafford, from the left touchline, think he took one touch then smashed it in .

I was lucky enough to watch him train one time. The other stickers were taking lots of shots and the keeper was saving most of them. Every single effort God took just went straight into the net, no messing. RF was pretty much the complete striker. Sadly the rest of the team weren’t all up to the same standard. The only one who really came close was Macca.

Agree ND. Fowler played in a better side he would be the record premier league holder now. Just an unbelievable player. My all time favourite.

I can't remember where I heard this, but remember being told that the England management were wary of having Macca and Fowler in the squad together. Apparently they thought that they'd muck about too much, have a few too many beers and it was seen as a bad influence on the team.
Macca always got the nod, so Fowler missed out unfortunately.

His goal against united, where he bounced Gary Neville off him and chipped it over the keeper.

Liverpool FC contributed to many England legends, from the days of Phil Neal who captained England for many years to Keegan, Hughes, Beardsley, Owen and Gerrard. Unfortunately and you would know this Fowler lacked the off the field discipline the powers that be expected from an English player . adding to that the whole Shearer, Sheringham lasted too long to let go of the number 9 shirt.
