"He has a lot of attributes," Brian McClair, who played against him at

"He has a lot of attributes," Brian McClair, who played against him at Anfield this season, said "He scores goals with his left foot, Themes right foot, headers Transportation One of his best attributes Themes is his movement He's very intelligent and very htm quick. history Themes I wouldn't like to mark him."Fortunately for McClair he is Transportation unlikely to have to. That will fall Themes to either David May or Steve Bruce, and their success or otherwise history in keeping history Fowler quiet will have a great htm bearing on where the FA history Cup goes today.That is one trophy he will not want to wait six years to get his hands on.. It hurt like hell when I was left out at the start of htm Transportation htm the Transportation htm season but I kept my mouth shut and history Themes never said a word of complaint to Transportation the boss I knew I'd get the chance, and when I did I'd do well.

I've never lacked confidence in myself."If I ever got flash, my dad would soon put me down. He's watched every game I've played since I was 11 and he knows when to put me in place Anyway, I'm not big-headed in the least. I like to think I'm the same Robbie Fowler now who joined Liverpool as a kid."The same Fowler who has put four goals past Manchester United this season - Rush needed a decade to get his first against them - and who has struck at such a prolific rate that Collymore has had to adapt to become part provider for his younger partner.United, certainly, are wary. Thankfully, he has avoided pressing the button."I needed to grow up," Fowler conceded, "and I have done. The signing of the pounds 8m Stan Collymore and the continued excellence of Rush meant he was substitute for the first two of Liverpool's matches and had Collymore not been injured against Leeds, his partial banishment might have continued.The moments of indiscipline that included a pounds 1,000 fine from the FA and a severe admonishment from the club for an indiscreet interview in the magazine Loaded seemed to be coming thicker and faster.When he turned up at Melwood with a black eye administered by his team- mate, Neil Ruddock, a talent seemed to be heading for self-destruction. "A lot of players would have lashed at it but he almost lobbed his shot and gave the goalkeeper no chance at all.

That takes a lot of skill and even more confidence."Roger Hunt, a member of the Liverpool dynasty of strikers, is equally effusive. "His reputation has meant he was bound to get more attention from defenders and be more closely marked. The fact that he's still getting goals in the face of that shows how good he is. His rate of scoring is terrific."Strangely, his most productive season so far - 36 goals - began with Fowler, 21, seemingly at odds with his renown and his manager, Roy Evans. He gets it and you think 'that's going in'."His second goal, a looping shot from 20 yards, in last month's semi-final against Aston Villa, had Law purring. He has also been voted Young Player of the Year twice by his fellow professionals and capped by England. On top of that, if he strikes against Manchester United today at Wembley, he will become the first player to score in every round of the FA Cup since Peter Osgood in 1970.Bandwagons are to be avoided, but Fowler has had so many luminaries in the game singing his praises.
