Emile Heskey arrived at Anfield with a pedigree not too dissimilar to that of Stan Collymore, both having impressed at smaller Premier League clubs before making the step up to Liverpool.
Only four players made more appearances for Liverpool that season, and only Owen scored more goals.
By the end of that debut season, he had 44 goals in 52 appearances, no player in Liverpool’s history has scored more in their first campaign.
Just 7 goals last season, though two of them came late against Brentford in January, in a match that many fans remember as the moment belief in title number 20 really took hold
But for Liverpool and for the Premier League, it just never quite fit.
