Micah Richards has revealed he rejected a potential move to Liverpool despite the efforts of Robbie Fowler to make this happen.
Richards, who now works as a pundit for various sports channels, rose through the City ranks as a youngster before making his first-team bow in 2005. The 34-year-old would remain at the club for a decade, with his standout moment arriving in the 2011/12 season as the Sky Blues claimed the Premier League title in the most dramatic of circumstances.
During the early stages at the club, a team-mate of his was none other than Fowler. Leaving Leeds United in 2003 to sign for City, the Liverpool great spent three years at the Etihad before sealing a shock return to Anfield in 2006.
