Shortlist

Former professional footballer and manager who played as a striker from 1993 to 2012. Robbie Fowler was known for being a natural scorer with an instinctive goal-poaching ability.
 
He is best remembered for his time at Liverpool and is the sixth-highest goalscorer in the history of the Premier League. He scored 183 goals in total for Liverpool, 128 of which were scored in the Premier League (162 Premier League goals in total). He earned the nickname "God" from the Anfield crowd, becoming a club legend due to his ruthlessness in front of goal. He subsequently played for Leeds United and Manchester City, before returning to Liverpool in January 2006.
 
18 months later he moved to Cardiff City. He refused a one-year "pay as you play" contract extension and signed with Blackburn Rovers on a three-month deal on the same terms instead. 
 
In December 2008, he left Blackburn and moved to Australia to play for North Queensland Fury and Perth Glory. In 2011, he joined Thai football team of Muangthong United as a player, but later became player-manager.  He remained in this role until his retirement in 2012.
 
He was capped for England 26 times, scoring 7 goals. Fowler was included in England's squads for Euro 96, Euro 2000 and the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
