Rafa claims Robbie Fowler has already achieved Legendary status at the club.
The Red’s boss believes Fowler can be just as inspirational off the pitch as he is on it and has given him the role of mentor to Liverpool’s new signings.
‘When we signed Craig and Jermaine , both mentioned how Robbie was a player they loved watching for Liverpool when they were younger,’ said Rafa.
‘He is someone they look up to.
‘With Robbie, we have a player at the club who is already a legend for the supporters and some of the players, and that can be a positive influence, particularly on the youngsters we have here.
‘They look up to Robbie and admire him and he will enjoy helping them as much as possible.’
Fowler has been impressive in Liverpool’s first two pre-season games and could line up against Kaiserslautern this afternoon.
‘Robbie has played very good games so far,’ added Benitez.
‘His movement and work for his team-mates have been really good.
‘He is still trying really hard in training and working with Pako (Ayesteran). He knows there is still work to be done on his fitness, but we’re happy with him.’
