Robbie Fowler hits back at Gary Neville's 'disrespectful' claim about his Liverpool career

Liverpool icon Robbie Fowler has slammed Gary Neville for making a controversial claim about his Anfield career.

Neville had said the fact Fowler remained at Liverpool stopped him becoming England's greatest-ever goalscorer, and that he would have achieved the status had he joined him at Manchester United.

Speaking on Sky Sports show The Overlap on Tour last year, Neville said: 'Can I make a controversial statement?

'It might not even be controversial. Robbie Fowler could have been England's greatest-ever goalscorer if he hadn't grown up in that Liverpool team. So if he'd have been part of the Class of '92, at United.
