This is Up Front with Simon Jordan.
A show brought to you by William Hill that pulls no punches and tells it EXACTLY like it is.
On today’s episode, we are joined by Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler.
The epitome of ‘local lad done good’ Robbie Fowler was one of the most naturally gifted goal scorers to grace the Premier League earning him the nickname 'God' among the Anfield faithful.
Nobody in Premier League history has scored as many goals as quickly as Fowler.
His tally of 64 goals before the age of 21 surpassed the records of football luminaries like Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen.
After retiring Robbie became a manager and after failing to secure an opportunity on domestic shores, he ventured abroad, leading clubs in Thailand, India, Australia and most recently Saudi Arabia.
Join us as we delve into Fowler's exceptional career, as he opens up on his painful split with Liverpool, and his rivalry with Michael Owen whilst also giving insight into his departure from Al-Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia…
