# Virals: Liverpool trio nominated for Hall of Fame inclusion

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/04/27/virals-expected-goals-statistic-highlights-liverpool-struggles/) trio Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler and [Michael Owen](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/04/26/michael-owen-makes-bold-claim-about-mohamed-salah-and-sadio-mane/) have received [nominations](https://www.premierleague.com/hall-of-fame/nominees) to be among the next players inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

The ex-Reds feature on an illustrious 23-man list, as supporters are asked to [vote](https://www.premierleague.com/hall-of-fame) for who should join Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry as the first batch of ex-players to be honoured.

Liverpool congratulated the trio for their nominations on the club’s official [Twitter](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1386745433964388353) account.

Gerrard is perhaps the frontrunner from the Reds involved to make the cut, making [504 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-gerrard/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/3109) across 17 Premer League campaigns, scoring 120 goals, albeit without ever managing to lift the title.

Owen made [297 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michael-owen/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/1397) for Liverpool, scoring a remarkable 158 goals and earned a [Ballon d’Or](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/on-this-day-in-2001-michael-owen-is-named-european-footballer-of-the-year-1608121857000#:~:text=News-,On%20This%20Day%20in%202001%3A%20Michael%20Owen%20is,European%20Footballer%20of%20the%20Year&text=Michael%20Owen%20was%20named%20European,second%20successive%20time%20in%201979.) along the way.

Born in Toxteth, the man affectionately known as ‘God’, Fowler, had two spells on Merseyside, amassing [369 appearances and netting 183 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robbie-fowler/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/3225) in total.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Both Gerrard and Fowler are hailed as Anfield icons having enjoyed long and [glittering careers](https://www.lfchistory.net/Players/Player/Profile/301) on Merseyside.

Owen meanwhile is a rather more tainted figure amongst Kopites, having left the club as a youngster having become the [youngest player](https://www.planetfootball.com/nostalgia/when-michael-owen-was-the-most-exciting-young-player-in-the-world/#:~:text=It%20wasn't%20by%20accident,Arsenal%20in%202001%2C%20his%20hat%2D) to reach 100 English top-flight goals.

If deserting the club with the world at his feet to [head for Real Madrid](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/aug/10/newsstory.sport6) wasn’t bad enough, the Chester-born striker [signed for Manchester United](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/211681-new-signingmanchester-united-has-signed-micheal-owen-on-free-transfer) later in his career.
