Former Foes Return with Favor

The players who have returned to haunt their former clubs with remarkable success are the ones fans love to hate. Among them is Danny Welbeck, who continues to torment his former employers at Manchester United and the teams that signed him while he was still a Red Devil. However, when it comes to the player with the best record against their former clubs in the Premier League era, the title belongs to none other than Jamie Carragher’s Liverpool rival, Robbie Fowler. The legendary striker holds a staggering 34 goals in 54 appearances for his former club, Chelsea, during his time at Anfield. But Fowler isn’t alone; several players have made a name for themselves by scoring against their former clubs. Other notable names include Chris Sutton (27 goals), Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (26 goals) and Paul McGrath (23 goals). While Welbeck’s goal at Old Trafford was certainly a memorable moment, it’s the players who have consistently shown up big when facing off against their former teams that truly deserve to be remembered.
