Robbie Fowler scores on his Liverpool debut in 1993 and is marked out as a successor to Anfield great Ian Rush

Fowler is named PFA Young Player of the Year in 1995 and 1996 with an England call-up not far behind

An irascible temperament sees Fowler hit the headlines for the wrong reasons on a number of occasions

Fowler is made club captain and in 2001 leads Liverpool to a trophy treble - the Worthington, FA and Uefa Cups

Fowler is unable to cement a place in the England team but plays a vital role in World Cup qualification for 2002

To the Kop's dismay Fowler is forced to move in search of regular first-team football and joins Leeds for �11m

Fowler finally joins Man City for �6m in January 2003 as a cash-strapped Leeds are forced to offload players
