Robbie Fowler
If Roberto Firmino is the party prince, Robbie Fowler is the party-party prince, if you know what I mean.
As a key member of the Spice Boy group in the 90s, the explosive striker knows how to have a good time and he could lead the way for a little bit.
Liverpool used to finish games, go to Manchester and then fly down to London for nights out on the weekend as footballers got paid more and their lifestyles transitioned from pub-based athletes towards being global superstars.
It’s 23 years since Liverpool drew in Brann, and Robbie Fowler produced one of the most x-rated first touches in the history of European football.

With money, came celebrity. With celebrity, came an element of a playboy lifestyle and this was the first generation of players to embrace that.
We’re not saying Fowler did anything naughty, just that he was around when that scene was starting to kick off. And whether through osmosis knowledge or first hand experience, the striker could lend a hand to helping us have a good time in this grand old quarantine house of ours.
Plus, just think about all the stories we could listen to from his time across English football, but definitely from those crazy days in the 90s when Liverpool had a young team that was packed with exciting talent but just lacked experienced leaders.
