Though already a Liverpool legend, Fowler was playing for Leeds when Limited Edition number 0020 was listed.
Despite his popularity with Liverpool fans, who referred to Fowler as "God", Heskey and Owen had established themselves as Liverpool's regular strike partnership, leaving Fowler on the fringes of the first team. Because of this, he sought regular first team football away from Anfield in an £11 million move to Leeds United.
In total he scored 15 goals in 31 appearances for Leeds; achieving an impressive strike rate of just less than one goal every two games. In 2002–03, Leeds finished 15th in the Premier League and a severe financial crisis was developing. Fowler eventually moved on to Manchester City, then briefly back to his beloved Liverpool.A big Footie fan? Join your teams legends at Supersub!
