‘God’ to leave Liverpool

Not in manager Rafa Benitez’s scheme of things for the next season, Robbie Fowler, ‘God’ to his admirers, will leave Liverpool at the end of this season. Benitez told the club website that Kop favourite Fowler, who returned to Liverpool for his second stint with the club in January last year, is surplus to the club’s requirement. Benitez said We had a good meeting and he understood the situation. He’s been a good signing for us and, of course, there are still two games left so his time at Liverpool is not over yet. He will play on Sunday and it’s good the fans will have a chance to see him at Anfield before he leaves us. I hope Robbie can score a goal in front of The Kop. That would be a good way for him to say goodbye to the supporters. Liverpool is scheduled to play Charlton Athletic in Sunday’s season-ender and take on AC Milan in the Champions League final on May 23. Fowler, a prolific striker, began as a Liverpool trainee and had a long career from 1992 to 2001. In his illustrious career, fowler helped the side win a League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup before he switched over to Leeds United. Fowler has so far scored 183 goals for Liverpool. As a farewell gift, Benitez is likely to hand Fowler the captain’s armband in Sunday’s match.
