French fan here... At this time I didn't follow premier league and just heard a bit about him. First time I saw him was in an international against France. He was facing Lilian Thuram who was at the peak of his career arguably one of the top defender (if not the best) in the world. Never saw Thuram being so helpless. Owen was just too quick, too technical... Pure talent.
@beejj61903 жыл бұрын
I can't stand when people go on about him being a Ballon D'or winner (when it was the European best not World best). That aside, Owen wasn't that technical but he did have the pace twinned with unbelievable finishing to match Ronaldo (phenom) at his peak. Mad player! : )

@@beejj6190 the thing is, he was quite technical. I watched his whole career. It sounds like an excuse, but there were two Michael Owens: the one before his major injuries, and the one after. The one before was astounding. He looked more like a Spanish player than an English one. Clever runs in behind, lots of pace but also his finishing was cool and really precise. Then… then there’s the Owen who played at Real, Newcastle, Man U and… Stoke. I think Liverpool burnt him out, overplayed him, and then left him for someone else to fix. In saying that, he still scored a heck of a lot of amazing goals. Even at Newcastle - as a Newcastle supporter, you occasionally got glimpses of his best. It was great, and then sometimes not great. My point is, he totally deserved the Ballon d’Or at the time. He was smashing international level defences and he looked unstoppable. You had yo be watching football at the time to get it. A 12 minute video doesn’t sum him up at all.

As a non local LFC fan, he is the reason I started supporting Liverpool FC. Back in the late 90's and the early 2000's, when the PL really started started booming here in the Asian market it was so easy to support Arsenal, ManU or Chelsea as they were the dominant teams. And I think, Owen was the biggest Footballing superstar here in Asia, next to Beckham. So like me, am quite sure many people started supporting LFC because of him, and then came along Stevie G. Beyond their Footballing ability of believe, they kept LFC relevant commercially at that time.

He’s not from liverpool but I agree. I can explain why though. The Liverpool fans fell out of love with him because he joined Manchester United in his last years, so the team you’d expect him to get most love don’t remember him that fondly. He also joined Newcastle and Real Madrid for big money and big wages but was injured most of the time even though his goal scoring record when he played was still great… so they probably don’t remember him too fondly either. Ironically he’s probably most liked at Manchester United even though he didn’t play too often or score very many because he scored a last minute winner against City as a late substitute.

I like the layout story from his history, achievements as well as reason for his decline in a brief but simple manner without any personal bias, remarkably professional. It was sad to see a legend like him disappear early, retiring to be a shadow of his former glory..

The only Liverpool player in history to have won the Ballon d'Or. The fifth all-time England goalscorer. He almost always turned up in the big matches for both England and Liverpool. In his one season with Real Madrid, he had the best goals to minutes ratio of the whole league. It's unfortunate that a combination of injuries and his decision to move to Utd will mean he'll eventually be completely forgotten about. Fernando Torres upset LFC fans by directly moving to Chelsea when they were Liverpool's next game, but even he is remembered more fondly than Owen, who left Liverpool for a tiny fee of £8million with a year left on his contract and eventually moved to Utd. Those who remember, will remember a very special player. For me, Owen at 21 was better than Mbappe is now. In the modern game, he'd probably play as a left winger/forward, like a Mane or Sterling, but I think he'd be better than both. The lad was insanely good and I do find it a shame that he is mostly ridiculed for his commentary rather than being remembered for his incredible achievements up until the age of 25. What a player he was.

There're many incredible young talents over the years. But I still believe Michael Owen is the most talented striker ever seen. He is as fearless and clutch as the GOAT of other sports. His instinct on finishing is one of all time great Kids these days discredit and judge him only by statistics. But anyone actually watched Owen played back in the days know how sensational he is. A generational level of talent

Owen was a lot better than Raul, who played regular and only scored 7-8 goals in entire 2004-05 season. I was in 2005-06 pre-season friendly game of Real Madrid. Zidane and Owen were really good together. On the other hand, Raul and Figo were extremely hostile to Owen. Figo was yelling to him and Raul was deliberately not passing. I was disgusted by what I saw.

Hard to say... many young players were great but they got injured or undisciplined etc... so yes i admire his level when he was young but i cancsay that he could be one of the best if stayed long enough... as players like Mbape, Neymar, L. Suarez , showed they there are best and not even mentioning C. Ronaldo and Messi .... like i said the competition in that level is very high and would of been hard to say what he could became... however knowing that England didnt got much at high level than yes his name could be in history as one of the best in England ( and probably is) world is different story
