5 best Premier League strikers to have never won the Golden Boot award

Enter
Premier League Golden Boot is an annually presented award given to the leading goalscorer in the Premier League.

#2 Robbie Fowler

Robbie Fowler of Liverpool
Robbie Fowler is one of the top 10 goal-scorers in the PL history.

Popularly referred to as 'God' by Anfield faithfuls, Robbie Fowler was one of the most iconic players to have ever donned the Reds jersey.

He was a natural goalscorer, and considered to be the one of the best finishers in English football during the 90s. He's goalscoring abilities were evident by the fact that he finished in the top 3 goalscorers of the league in three consecutive seasons. Not only that, he scored 30 or more goals for the Liverpool across all competitions for 3 consecutive seasons, the only player in the history to do so.

Although he was awarded PFA Young Player of the Year award twice in two consecutive seasons for his exploits in front of the goal, the performances were never enough to win him the Golden Boot award as he came twice within touching distance only to finish second best to the legendary Alan Shearer on both the occasions.

He is still one of the most prolific strikers of the Premier League and sits at number 6 in the all-time top scoring players' rankings.
