Robbie Fowler Named His 5 Greatest Strikers in Premier League History. the first
Robbie Fowler debated the five greatest strikers in Premier League history with Sam Allardyce back in 2023.
Harry Kane was the only player still playing to be picked.
Arsenal, Man United, and Chelsea were also represented, but no Liverpool player got the green light.
In total, “God” – as he was lovingly referred to by the Anfield faithful – scored 163 goals in 379 Premier League appearances, and he remains the Reds’ second-highest goalscorer in the competition, behind only Mohamed Salah. It is for this reason that Fowler is well qualified to speak about what makes a good striker, and back in 2023, he was asked to list who, in his opinion, were the five greatest strikers in Premier League history.

Premier League clubs: Blackburn Rovers & Newcastle United
Alan Shearer celebrates-1
With 260 goals to his name, it’s likely that every modern-day striker fortunate enough to ply their trade in England’s promised land will base their game off the former Blackburn and Newcastle legend. Crazily enough, though, he only ever lifted the league title once – that coming in the 1994/95 season with Blackburn, when Shearer won the Golden Boot with 34 goals.
Harry Kane
Premier League clubs: Tottenham Hotspur
Harry Kane
Fowler didn’t give much of an explanation for picking Harry Kane – but the numbers speak for themselves. Despite playing in what many onlookers tend to dub a below-par Tottenham team for 13 years, England’s record goalscorer always carried the team on his back and his track record of being just as influential from deep as he was in and around the six-yard box is a testament to how complete he was.
