Robbie Fowler | "I shaved my legs and wore white boots because I felt quicker"

What does an 18-goal schoolboy performance, a pair of Umbro Specialis, and the promise of an Italian villa have in common? Robbie Fowler, that’s what. In Episode 3 of The Boot Room, presented by LIFEJACKET, Fenners sits down with one of Liverpool’s most natural goalscorers. A man who went from sticking 18 past defenders in a school match to scoring all five on his first senior start for Liverpool. From Puma Maradona Heroes to cramming his size 8 feet into 6.5s with two pairs of socks, we look back at the boots that carried him through an unforgettable career. There are stories of boot deals that nearly won over the whole Fowler household (helicopters and villas will do that), the honour of wearing that Liverpool shirt not once but twice, and why towards the end, white boots and shaved legs felt like the secret to staying sharp. Sharp in front of goal. Sharp off it too. A genuine legend of the game. There’s a reason they call him God around Anfield. LIFEJACKET.
