Summary

With today marking Robbie Fowler's 45th birthday, we thought it only right to look back on 'God' and his two spells at Anfield. Guy Clarke is joined by the ECHO's Liverpool correspondent and chief LFC writer Ian Doyle to reflect on the Reds all-time top Premier League goalscorer. Having scored 183 goals in 369 games we look into his Reds career from bursting onto the scene as a teenage goalscoring sensation, into playing a vital role in both the League Cup Final and UEFA Cup Final in 2001 there's plenty to get into. How his move to Leeds back in November 2001 went down, as well as of course the reception for his return in 2006 as Rafa Benitez brought him back to the club. Enjoy.
