Robbie Fowler Biography
Robbie Fowler was unquestionably Liverpool's God. Few players have had the honor of being revered by a club's fanbase, and even fewer have been dubbed 'God.' The biography of Robbie Fowler contains practically everything you need to know about the Liverpool and Premier League legend.
Robbie Fowler Early Life
Robbie Fowler was born on April 9, 1975, and was raised by his single mother, Marie. During his early years, Robbie was known as Robert Ryder, his mother's surname.
Fowler, who was born and raised in Toxteth, grew up supporting Everton. His incredible football skills, on the other hand, were evident early on, as he played regularly for Thorvald, a schoolboy side, and even made headlines when he scored 16 goals in a 26–0 thrashing.
When Robbie Fowler was six years old, he witnessed the Toxteth riot, and civil unrest in Toxteth, Liverpool's inner city, that resulted in part from long-standing tensions between the local police and the black population.
Despite being an Everton fan, Jim Aspinall, a Liverpool scout, noticed his performances for u14 school games. Everton was also interested in him at the time, but despite playing only a few games for them when he was 14, Fowler had already established himself with Liverpool FC and turned down Everton.
Fowler signed his professional contract on his 17th birthday, and his greeting from then-Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish and fellow Liverpool legend Steve Heighway affected him greatly.
Reception
Fowler's popularity among supporters peaked at a level not seen since Kenny Dalglish's glory days. Fowler is regarded as one of the best attackers in Premier League history, having led Liverpool to two League Cups, an FA Cup, and a UEFA Cup.
Despite his goal-scoring prowess, Fowler was sold to Leeds against his will for a world-record-breaking £11 million, as Gerard Houllier preferred an Emile Heskey-Michael Owen pairing.
Fowler never won the Golden Boot award in the Premier League. He scored 163 goals in the English Premier League, although in each of his 15 seasons, he was outscored by at least one other player.
Goal Celebration
Robbie Fowler's most famous celebration was the historic 'Cocaine Sniff' celebration after scoring an equalizer in Liverpool's 3-2 triumph over Everton.
During his playing days, the former Liverpool striker was the victim of unsubstantiated allegations from Toffees fans that he was a cocaine addict.
As a result, when Fowler equalized for the Reds in a 3-2 derby win a little over two decades ago, he knelt on the ground and pretended to snort the goal line.
Fowler received a four-match suspension and a £32,000 fine for his celebration. Fowler, on the other hand, never regretted his celebration.
Although, due to a tense relationship with then-Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier, Fowler sought regular first-team play away from Anfield in 2001, signing a £12 million deal with Leeds United at the age of 26.
Robbie Fowler Career Statistics
Robbie Fowler is ninth on the overall leaderboard, behind Tottenham Hotspur captain Harry Kane, who has 163 goals in 379 Premier League appearances.
During his career, Fowler played for Liverpool, Leeds United, Manchester City, Cardiff City, Blackburn Rovers, North Queensland Fury, Perth Glory, and Muangthong United, representing a total of eight clubs.
Robbie Fowler, on the other hand, remains Liverpool's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League.
Club
Robbie Fowler has 183 goals for Liverpool in two periods, making him the club's sixth-highest goalscorer in club history.
Fowler also holds the record for the fastest hat-trick in Liverpool history, which he achieved against Arsenal in 4 minutes and 33 seconds. Sadio Mane shattered the Premier League record during his time at Southampton, which he had held for more than 20 years.
Fowler scored 14 goals in two seasons at Leeds United, although only appearing in 32 games due to injury.
During the 1995–96 season, Fowler was one of England's most prolific goal-scoring strikers, with £8.4 million. In the same season, he scored twice in a 4–3 win over Newcastle United, which was chosen as the finest Premier League match of the decade in a poll.
That season, Fowler also appeared in his first FA Cup final but was defeated 1–0 by Manchester United. He scored twice in a 2–2 tie at Old Trafford on October 1, 1995, and twice in a 2–0 win at Anfield on December 16, 1995.
Fowler also scored 27 goals for Manchester City, 6 for Cardiff City in the Championship, and a disappointing spell at Blackburn Rovers before joining Northern Fury FC in Australia.
International
Robbie Fowler is Scouse, not English, according to Liverpool fans, but he has 26 England appearances. In the late 1990s, being behind Alan Shearer in the pecking order limited his playing opportunities. Fowler, on the other hand, scored seven goals in his 26 games.
On August 3, 2013, Fowler played in Steven Gerrard's testimonial match against Olympiacos F.C. He came off the bench in the 73rd minute to a standing ovation from Liverpool supporters, but he was unable to score.
