Manchester United Career
His July 2009 arrival at Old Trafford may have raised a few eyebrows, but former Liverpool striker Michael Owen is undoubtedly one of the finest goalscorers in the history of English football.
The Chester-born forward notched up more than 200 goals for Liverpool, Real Madrid and Newcastle United, plus 40 goals in 89 England internationals prior to signing for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.
Owen burst to prominence at his boyhood side, Liverpool, where he scored on his first-team debut aged just 17. His lightning pace, untraceable movement and clinical finishing made him a Premier League revelation, and it wasn't long before he took the international stage by storm.
The 1998 World Cup in France was Michael's springboard, as he scored an incredible solo goal in England's second-round tie with Argentina. While red-carded United midfielder David Beckham became something of a scapegoat for the Three Lions' penalty shootout exit, Owen was hailed a national hero.
