He’s a Liverpool Football Club legend, a scorer of over 250 career goals and a man widely recognized as one of the English’s Premier League’s greatest ever strikers.
It’s fair to say Robbie Fowler achieved an awful lot during a 19-year career. Seventh on the Premier League’s all-time leading goalscorers list (163 goals) and a treble winner (UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup) with Liverpool back in 2001.
Now manager of Indian Super League side East Bengal, Fowler is branching out, so much so that he’s joined forces with Dubai Eye 103.8’s very own Chris McHardy to launch the eponymous Robbie Fowler Podcast, brought to you by McDonald’s UAE.
Catch the guys every Monday as Robbie provides insight into what life is really like as a professional footballer – from the dressing room to the pitch to life after the full-time whistle. A host of famous faces from Robbie’s considerable contact book will also be dropping in each week to lend a helping hand. Expect confessions, anecdotes, and a few laughs along the way.

You can also listen to each episode every Monday night on Dubai Eye 103.8 from 7pm.
In the first episode of the brand new Robbie Fowler Podcast, brought to you by McDonald’s UAE, Robbie pays tribute to his former manager, the late Gerard Houllier; recalls a particularly raucous night out in Norway and reveals the real reason behind that celebration against Everton. He also opens up on life as a ‘property magnate’.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is the first guest on the Robbie Fowler Podcast as the guys kick off the series with a bang - or should that be 'boom'? Robbie and Chris quiz the German on his management style, get an insight into how he deals with defeat and what he looks for in a player. Klopp also gives his opinion on the incoming wave of babies named 'Jurgen' in Liverpool.
Liverpool and Scotland legend Graeme Souness follows on from Jurgen Klopp as the latest guest on the Robbie Fowler Podcast. No nonsense on and off the pitch, Graeme lifts the lid on football management today, reveals why he only ever asked one question in seven years at Liverpool and adds another illuminating chapter to his ongoing 'feud' with Manchester United's Paul Pogba.
The Scot also reflects on the biggest low of his career, why he always knew Robbie was destined for the top and gives his verdict on Steven Gerrard's managerial future.
Joining Robbie and Chris on Episode 4 is one of football’s most controversial figures: Joey Barton. In an unfiltered and extremely candid conversation, the former midfielder lifts the lid on his recent dismissal as Fleetwood Town boss as well as a slew of his off the pitch ‘misdemeanours’, including well-publicised incidents with Jamie Tandy and Ousmane Dabo.
He also reveals his admiration for Robbie, how his Manchester City career was almost scuppered by an opportunistic Middlesbrough fan and why he isn't a fan of 'imposter' Mark Hughes.
Coming soon...
Robbie and Chris welcome 'the King' on the latest episode of the Robbie Fowler Podcast as Liverpool's greatest ever player, Sir Kenny Dalglish joins the guys.
King Kenny reveals why he'll always be indebted to Celtic, details how his move to Liverpool came about, and explains why Blackburn Rovers was the ultimate Cinderella story. He also lifts the lid on his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson and his revelations may just surprise you.
The latest installment of the Robbie Fowler Podcast features one of the greatest midfielders of his generation, the long-time beating heart of Liverpool Football Club and the man set to end Celtic’s dreams of 10-in-a-row: Steven Gerrard.
In a wide-ranging chat, the current Rangers manager speaks with real candour about his coaching and management style, reveals EXACTLY what happened at half-time in Istanbul and picks his favourite striker to play alongside. But is it Luis Suarez or Fernando Torres? Gerrard also reflects on the infamous slip, a moment he calls ‘the worst day of his life’.
