Modest Fowler plays down achievement

Last updated : 02 April 2006 By Al Campbell
Fowler's goal against West Brom yesterday was his 173rd for Liverpool, moving him to fifth place in Liverpool's all time top scorers list, one place ahead of King Kenny Dalglish.

It is a fantastic achievement for Fowler but the striker was typically modest when asked about it after yesterday's game.

"It's fantastic for me but Kenny Dalglish is a proper Liverpool legend. To get anywhere near him is an achievement, so to go one past him makes me very happy," said Fowler.

If Fowler does win a new contract with Liverpool he may have his eye on fourth place in the list, currently held by Billy Liddell with 228 goals for the Reds.
