      Which striker was the best of the three in your opinion? I left King Kenny out, because it's pretty straight-forward he was better than all three of them. Anyway, without judging them on things like joining United, who was the best of the three - Owen, God, or Rushie?

      I can't separate God or Rush, but Owen isn't even in the same league as them two.

      For me, Fowler is the best English player I've seen at Striker.

      No contest.

      Rushie - greatest goalscorer in the clubs history and has the medals to prove it, far more than the other two as well!!

      Given myself a headache trying to decide, but has to be Rush for me. Did it better for longer and worked his balls off while doing it too.

      I am same as everyone else, very difficult to decide between Rush and Fowler, but Robbie gets it for me, best finisher I have ever seen.

      Agree with some that ohwhen....(i was good)  ;) shouldnt be in the same sentance, and agree that its a toughie picking between Rush and god, I met Rushie a few years back, top bloke never had the pleaseure of meeting god though.......Just for the fact that I know he's a top bloke and he is the clubs greatest goal scorer I'll have to pick Rushie.
      Still think Fowler is one of the (if not thee) Best strikers England has ever produced.

      Came on here to say Fowler but the more I think the more Rush strengthens. The two were fantastic for us. Both are loyal to us. Both historic number 9's.

      I'm going to say Fowler as I grew up watching him. But it could just as easily be Rush. Two legends.

      I'm not ignoring Owen because he stabbed us in the back but for two different reasons. He always relied on a strike partner wether that was Fowler himself or Heskey. But I think he was unbelievable in a two up top but Rush and Fowler are two players you could stick up top alone and have equal confidence in.

      The other point is, Owen had the world at his feet with us. But he hasn't been anywhere near prolific in nearly 10 years. For me Rush and Fowler were much more consistent throughout their careers.

      I disagree with you on Owen needing a strike partner to succeed or for us to win. Owen won us countless games all by himself... and of the 3 strikers mentioned here spent the most time isolated and with very little to go on in the way of service. He comes 3rd in this race though.

      Although Robbie was my favourite player of all time I have to go for Rush at 1 as he did it for longer and the best part of 350 goals is just incredible. That said i believe Robbie was a better finisher than Rushie and if he had played his career in the teams that Rush did and had a little luck with injuries I feel that he would be our leading all time scorer and number one in this arguement.

      Rush, Robbie, Owen!

      Robbie Fowler was out of this world and is the best striker the Premiership has seen but Ian Rush, well what can i say?.

      Simply the best for me. You just knew with Rushie that when he got into position that ball was only going one place and it usually ended up with the keeper picking it up out of the net.

      How i wish we could unearth a striker like Rush or Fowler again, it has seemed like an age since we had a striker that gave you that feeling i commented on above.

      I hope Suarez and Carroll can kick on from last Season and increase their conversion ratio.

      Rushie all day for me and it takes someone really special to be ahead of Fowler.

      Robbie was great, but will go for Rush.

      Owen was good but for too short a time. And the the lad has notions. Left LFC to sit on the bench at Real. And would prefer to sit on the bench at Utd then play regularly for a 'lesser' team.  Bit of a plonker really.

      Rushie was my absolute hero as a kid but even putting sentiment to one side, I'd still go for him. Not only was his finishing immense but he did so much for the team as a whole, defending from the front.

      It's no disgrace to be second to Ian Rush and Fowler was still a truly amazing player.

      Owen is a very distant third (of those three). He was excellent when he first came through then got big headed and stood around waiting for the perfect pass. I, for one wasn't sad to see him go.
