Top 10 highest Premier League goalscorers of all time

#6 Robbie Fowler - 163 goals

Robbie Fowler proved to be a prime example of what can happen when you pay attention to the club's youth

Yet another product of Liverpool's youth set-up, Robbie Fowler proved to be a prime example of what can happen when you pay attention to the club's youth. He spent nine seasons at Anfield, where he played a total of 236 games and scored 120 goals for the Reds. He was eventually sold in December 2001 to Leeds United for £15m.

His time at Leeds was short. He played 30 games and scored 14 goals before moving to Manchester City in January 2003 for £8.8m.

Three-and-a-half seasons at Man City saw him net the ball just 20 times in 76 games, which was well under par for a player of his calibre. In January 2006, City loaned him back to Liverpool where he suddenly perked back up - scoring 5 in 14.

City had had enough by this point, though, and let him join Liverpool on a free transfer at the end of the season.

It was clear where his heart resided, and that was Anfield. He didn't seem to fully settle at any other club. He spent one final season in Merseyside for the 2006-2007 season, but only managed three goals in 16 appearances. And in the summer of 2017, he joined Cardiff on a free transfer.

The final time Fowler would appear in the Premier League would be for Blackburn, after he was signed as a free agent in 2008.

He played from December onwards, but only made a total of three appearances, with two of those being a substitute. He failed to score and was promptly released.

Fowler played in Australia and Thailand before eventually retiring in 2012.
