1. Robbie Fowler – 20 years, eight months and eight days
Though Fowler’s 88 games may not the fastest ever to achieve 50 goals, he was the youngest to do so, and was a key part of Liverpool’s incredible 2000-01 season several years later.
The Liverpool great was also the first to accomplish the impressive feat, having made his Premier League debut in just the second year of the English competition.
Now retired, Fowler has been trying his hand at football managing and media work.
