Biography
Michael Owen is a retired English footballer celebrated for his goal-scoring talent and electrifying speed. He began his career with Liverpool, joining the first team in 1997 and quickly making an impact by becoming the Premier League's top scorer in his debut season. Known for his composed finishing, Owen won the Ballon d'Or in 2001 at just 22, becoming the fourth Englishman to earn this honor.
Owen's success continued with Liverpool, where he helped secure the 2001 FA Cup, UEFA Cup, and League Cup treble. His unforgettable solo goal against Argentina in the 1998 FIFA World Cup solidified his status as one of the world's most exciting talents, as he went on to score 40 goals in 89 appearances for the England national team, representing his country in multiple World Cups and European Championships.
In 2004, Owen moved to Real Madrid as part of the club's “Galácticos” lineup, scoring 16 goals in 45 appearances despite limited game time. He returned to England a year later with Newcastle United, where his career became marred by injuries. In 2009, he joined Manchester United, contributing to their Premier League title in 2011 and scoring memorable goals, including a dramatic winner in a 4-3 derby victory over Manchester City.
Owen concluded his playing career with a season at Stoke City before retiring in 2013. Post-retirement, he transitioned into sports punditry and horse racing ownership, leveraging his love for the sport. His career remains a testament to his instinctive goal-scoring ability, resilience, and impact on English football.
