Michael Owen might have become a mild figure of fun in retirement, mocked for his stubborn hatred of films, castigated for that YouTube clipof him goading a 13-year-old goalkeeper and widely criticised for his punditry, but the bantz can make it easy to forget what a brilliant footballer he was at his peak – one of the most gifted ever produced by ...

Not once the hamstrings started to play up. Between France 98 and Euro 2000, where he struggled in Kevin Keegan’s deathly side, he scored three goals in 10 matches. Owen was substituted...
After a year in Madrid, Owen wanted to return home in the summer of 2005. Liverpool were reluctant to meet the £16.5m asking price, so instead he joined Newcastle, where … well. Let’s just say that Owen could only have made himself more unpopular with Newcastle fans if he had snuck into St James’ Park and painted the stadium red and white. At least...
