I've been prompted to write this article by someone stating that Robbie Fowler is a bigger legend than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

I could not believe what I was seeing, I argued black and blue that there is not one single thing that puts Robbie ahead of Ole, the person was obviously a Liverpool fan and he is sticking up for his player but its a bad call to say that RF is better than OGS across the footballing world.

Don't get me wrong Robbie Fowler was a talented striker, I'm not denying that, but a legend above Solskjaer is the worst statement ever .

Anyway , seeing as though I couldn't get my point through in comments I decided to do a little head to head article to see who comes out on top. No prizes for guessing who wins in every sense.

 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Clausenegen FC 109 apps 115 goals.

Molde FC 42 apps 31 goals.

Manchester Utd 235 apps 92 goals.

Norway 67 apps 23 goals.

Total At club level: 386 apps 238 Goals.

 

Robbie Fowler

Liverpool FC 236 apps 120 goals.

Leeds United FC 30 apps 14 goals.

Man City FC 80 apps 20 goals.

Liverpool FC 30 apps eight goals.

Cardiff City 13 apps four goals.

England 26 apps seven goals.

Total At club level: 389 apps 166 goals.

 

Ok so Robbie wins the club appearances by three matches, you would expect him to, he has played at two more clubs than Ole (inclusive of his return to Liverpool).

Ole wins the appearances for country by 41 games over Fowler, and has 16 more international goals than Robbie too.

Ole wins the goal's total at club level by a pretty hefty 72 goals.

 

Verdict

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer clearly wins the appearances and goals section by a long chalk, so no sign of this legend Robbie Fowler.

Let's move on to the honours section, maybe Robbie will be better there .

 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Premier League winner, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007. (Six)

FA Cup winner, 1999 and 2004.

League Cup winner, 2006.

UEFA CL winner, 1999.

Intercontinental Cup winner, 1999.

Community Shield winner, 1996, 1997, 2003, 2007.

 

Robbie Fowler

League Cup winner, 1995 and 2001.

FA Cup winner 2001.

UEFA Cup winner 2001.

UEFA Super Cup winner 2001.

 

Verdict

Oh dear, still this "Legend" Fowler is miles behind with only five Winners medal's compared to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 15 medal's, yes that's right 10 more medal's in the cabinet.
