Liverpool make shock Fowler swoop
Manchester City striker Robbie Fowler has made a surprise return to his former club Liverpool.
The 30-year-old striker, who has joined Liverpool for the rest of the season, made his debut for the Reds as an 18-year-old in 1993.
He scored a total of 171 goals in 330 games for the Anfield side.
"Liverpool are his dream club and he wanted to leave and rejoin them," City boss Stuart Pearce said on his club's official website.
Pearce added: "If I refused him this opportunity of fulfilling his ambition it would not be good for him or Manchester City Football Club. We wish him well for the future and thank him for his efforts."
Fowler moved to Leeds in 2001, before former City boss Kevin Keegan spent £6m to take him away from Elland Road in February 2003.
Injuries have hampered his career at Eastlands, but he recently scored a hat-trick against Scunthorpe in the third round of the FA Cup and also scored against Manchester United in City's 3-1 victory.
Fowler is not eligible to play in Sunday's FA Cup tie against Portsmouth but could make his comeback in Wednesday's home game with Birmingham.
