The man known to Liverpool fans quite simply as God, has been discussing his favourite ever goal for the Reds.

Former Liverpool hero Robbie Fowler

Sergio Aguero is hunting him down but as things stand nobody in Premier League history has scored so many goals so quickly as Robbie Fowler and in total he bagged 120 in his time at Anfield.

Fowler, who also played for Leeds United and Manchester City, was one of the most deadly finishers in Liverpool’s – and indeed Premier League – history.

Fowler was nicknamed God by Liverpool fans

‘It sounds stupid but…’

But now, four years after hanging up his boots, the 41-year-old has revealed his most cherished Liverpool goal in an interview with Sky Sports’ Soccer AM.

“It sounds stupid this but it’s probably not the best goal, but I scored a goal against Charlton last day of the 2001 season, it was an overhead kick, not a textbook overhead kick obviously… when you think overhead kicks you think Pele, Escape to Victory, don’t you … but it was just a placed overhead kick,” Fowler told Soccer AM.

“But it was good because it meant more to the team and it capped off an unbelievable season, we won every cup competition we were in and we needed to win to finish fourth and qualify for the Champions League.

“First half we were awful and I scored this goal and second half we were magnificent and ended up winning 4-0 and the season just ended up being superb.”

International career never really took off

Relive Fowler’s favourite Liverpool goal

So there you have it from the horse’s mouth that strike against Charlton was the great man’s favourite.

You can relive the goal as it makes number two on this Robbie Fowler compilation on YouTube.

Fowler, who also spent time at Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City before spells in Australia and Thailand, finished his career with 193 goals in 486 games for club and country.

Injuries hampered his career to a degree and he never truly cemented his place as a starter for England, earning just 26 caps.
