Liverpool legend Fowler ready to hang up boots

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler is ready to officially hang up the boots after featuring in Steven Gerrard's testimonial.

Fowler revealed post-match that Saturday's run-out will probably be his swansong.

"I loved it - I don't think there are many better feelings than putting the Red shirt on," Fowler told LFC TV.

"When you get out there and get a little bit of a reception like that it's unbelievable. I don't think you can put it into words. I've been back a few times but you never really expect that.

"It was absolutely delightful and I'm grateful for it. To be honest, it's all for Steven. What I'll say about him is that not many people will run Kenny close as Liverpool's best ever player.

"But he has done that and maybe in a lot of people's eyes, including myself, he has surpassed that. What an achievement that is.

"I have not really officially retired but this looks like my last game, and where better to do it than a full Anfield for Steven's testimonial, Liverpool's best ever player, in front of these fans."
