      Ian Rush is winning this hands down. Just shows what a great striker he was.  :gt-happyup:

      I'm of the opinion that Fowler is the best finisher I've seen at the club, but Rushie is the best of the three you've mentioned.

      Rush, Owen and Fowler.

      Owen did it at international level and won the Ballon D'or!

      He certainly did. While he was with us he was one of the top strikers in europe. We had his best years and I will always respect what he did for us.

      Rushie was unfortunate really in not playing in a good wales team. Robbie was unfortunate too in that when he should have been playing for England the press and the cockney manager of those times, Venables or Hoddle were obsessed with Shearer and Sheringham and even Ferdinand and never bothered much with Robbie. There loss though!

      This is why I hate england, why I dont watch england and why I dont watch international football. I have not watched one second of the euro's yet and have no intention of doing so. I hope our lads do well....and come back free from injury.

      Roll on next season now for me..

      Fowler was the most natural
      Owen the best physically
      and rush the hardest worker and best goal poacher

      As much as i liked Owen I would not say he was the best physically. Rushie was a lean, mean super fit athlete and didn't suffer many injuries. Sadly for Michael he suffered alot with muscle injuries, mostly to his hamstrings, but also thigh injuries and back injuries. This was down to him being overused too early in his career. Too often he played when he wasn't fit and had to play through the pain barrier and in the end he got the injury at leeds which was a serious injury and his hamstring was never the same after that and he lost that touch of pace.

      Robbie also suffered with injury...hip problems..allsorts really and this deprived us from seeing him go onto to be even better than he was in his early years.

      Rush. No question. No hesitation. Best striker of all time.

      As redkenny once said, 'I used to think his name was Ian Rushgoal'.

      And no-one has quite tormented those in blue like Ian Rush did!

      The sight of that big nose and muzzy most have sent a cold shiver down their shoulders.

      Added Poll.

      Ian Rush wins this hands down for me, and the reason?

      He made it look so effortless, a sign of a great player.

      Robbie was a close second though, an awesome goalscorer.

      Owen - way down the list.

      Didn't get to watch any Ian Rush or hardly any Robbie Fowler in his pomp, and the little c**t Owen was the reason I became a Liverpool fan in 1998, but Fowler seemed capable of anything at any time, whereas Rush seemed like the perfect striker for arguably Liverpool's best ever team. Tough to pick, so I won't :P

       Ian Rush despite his goal scoring was also considered our best defender as he was log a dog with a bone chasing down defenders he never gave them time on the ball.Broke my heart when he went to Juve you know the place that was like playing in a foreign country. ;D
