Robbie Fowler - Anfield Index

This weekend’s Merseyside derby is arguably the biggest in years and certainly its outcome could carry particular significance for Brendan Rodgers and his future as Liverpool manager. So, in a break from all the pressure and speculation surrounding the current position of the club, I decided to take a nostalgic look back some of my personal favourite Merseyside derbies. FA Cup Final 1986, Wembley This will always be a special game to me for many reasons, not only was it …

I have ranked the top 16 ex-Liverpool players in the media. In fact, I could only think of 16, so it could also be considered a list of the worst - there is quite a range of quality!

For the centuries that this magnificent sport has been played, there is always that ‘one team’. The team that gets you so spontaneously dazzled as to why you can’t seem to break them down.

I was lucky enough to be invited into the Press Box for the game and also took over the Anfield Index Twitter account for the game. Walking up to the ground before kick off you could sense a certain buzz around Anfield with everyone in attendance in high spirits …

It was very much a game of two halves as Kenny Dalglish's Local Legends had the majority of the chances in the first 45 minutes, with the first coming to Robbie Fowler, who tried to find Sander …
