Owen was unbelievable, he was literally unplayable when he was 17-20 years old. Fans who disrespect him have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

I’m a Newcastle fan and remember the hat trick he scored against us and I remember thinking what a player. He made our defence look silly. He was unstoppable in his prime 👍 I was a fan of him when he became a poacher as well, I thought he didn’t get the credit for the season he was at Madrid. He was a sub at Madrid but still scored 16 goals for them that season. He should of started at Madrid as Raul wasn’t at his best that season. Even when he was at Newcastle he had a great start and kept scoring but unfortunately got injured and wasn’t the same but I always rated Owen 👍

[@asnark7115]

I remember thinking that the worst joke of all time in the sport was Raul starting ahead of Owen. No lies, I could have stopped Raul 1v1 99/100 times. Raul was never anything but a poacher and target player. Owen could beat a squad of elite pros between him and goal with the same chances that a Messi or Maradona had, maybe with better chances.

[@Prime-R9]

I rate both Robbie Fowler & Michael Owen some of the coldest finishers/goalscorers ever. Fowler needs a whole segment himself he was unreal. Owen's goal against Argentina is etched in my memory, you have to be a special player to have memorable moments like that. Rapid/explosive, sharp on the turn & a deadly cool finisher, he made it look so easy to score.

He had the potential to be right up there with R9. He was a phenomenon. Not just frighteningly quick, his positioning was top notch, his finishing was unreal and even his heading was really good relative to his height. It’s a shame how his career turned out after Real. He wasn’t all that bad there either.

You're so right - I remember it was a beautiful saturday and I was watching it an Arsenal fans house (friend of a friend) and he was laughing at us as Liverpool were that bad in the final. Arsenal deserved to win it (and missed some chances to go 2 up) but Owen was a sub and came on and destroyed Arsenal single handed in like 10 min? When he equalised you just knew if we got the ball to him again - which we did it was over and guess what....

He gave me my greatest moment as a football fan when he scored against the Argies! I’ve never gone more mental than that goal ever… 98-2003 he was only 2nd to R9 as the best strike on Earth, and also over 15 yards not one player ever was quicker than him!

Loving these videos, in my thirties and these players you talk about I grew up watching. Owen was incredible for a period and it’s good to hear legends like yourself letting some younger fans who may never have got to see them play how good they were. What Owen was doing for England and Liverpool as a teenager was amazing. Such a shame that big hamstring injury impacted his career so much, he was lighting quick before that injury.

[@jamesphillips7885]

Knee aswell

[@TejSingh-xj3ux]

Growing up as a Liverpool fan i subscribed to the club magazine. It regularly mentioned the youth teams. Without fail it would it would feature some ridiculous scoring feats, like 11 goals in 5 FA youth cup games by some young striker. One week it was about Liverpool players who made England Schoolboys. England played Brazil and won 4-0. Young MIchael Owen scored all four.

[@christianargentiTalkTV]

I could take or leave Rio as a pundit and doing videos over the years but I’m a fan after this one. Rare insight and he’s prepared to give it straight. Good stuff!

[@simonmenzies3142]

So pleased you say he doesn’t get tbe respect. 💯correct. And mentioning his timing to make tbe run. And the fact he could score a dink, chip, volley, every kind of finish. He had it all. He was also great at dribbling with tbe ball. But no one ever mentioned that. His football brain about when to make tbe run and which run to make was phenomenal. So so pleased you’ve spoken so honestly about his ability. I think many don’t just because of shearer and his influence and wanting to stay on shearers right side. Which speaks volumes about shearer imo (lance armstrong type) Well done Rio

My best memory of MO was that once he was v-one with goalkeeper, you knew the ball will be in the net, he was probably one of the most dangerous strikers to come from England. What a generational talent he was, probably unluck not to play in the best teams or managers in his prime. Never been a liverpool fan, but I was a huge MO fan.

Michael Owen was the first wonderkid i was aware of. I used to folllow Liverpool as a kid, and i remember i used get the official club magazine and when i checked the reserve or youth team results, all you would see is, Owen Goal. I remember watching him in that England school boy match too. He must have made Collymore and Fowler a little uneasy at the time. It was no surprise when he scored on his debut. I went on the Anfield tour before Owens debut, and i actually saw him and Tony Warner in the car park. I remember Owen looking supremely confident wearing some shades. It seeemed he was a certainty to make it.

Him, Rooney and Cesc were the best teenagers I’ve seen in the Prem playing like big men game changers at tender years. One of the only man at that time who showed up consistently for England.

Owen was one of the best talents i have ever seen early days. His Liverpool career was unreal and i think his Madrid career is downplayed a bit. His starting opportunities were limited but when he came on he was quite good, if you compare his goals per mins compared to the other strikers at Madrid at the time it was pretty good. He was just unfortunate to suffer from those injuries. He will hold a special place in my heart for the goal he scored in the Manchester Derby.

All very true and he was so respectful off the pitch too. He was a role model to kids and other professionals. Now when you talk of Ballon D’or …. Worthy winner. I can think of two other Englishmen who also won it. It was formally known as European player of the year. The first is Tony Woodcock when he left Notts Forest and went to I think Bayern Munich. The other was my hero, Kevin Keegan who also played in Germany for SV Hamburg. Now everything said about Owen is correct, Kevin Keegan was ahead of his time. The pitches weren’t as good as they are today, boots etc, training and the like. Keegan worked so hard technically. So when you’ve watched Owen, go and watch Keegan as he won the award two years running. Well presented Rio 👍

[@skrollerbarTV]

Great post! It's true as a Liverpool fan - I think we were very upset the way he left us in 2004 (last minute to Real Madrid) and the Man United Move - so his stock went down. Bizarrely he was often compared to Fowler at Liverpool (due to the young prodigy status) Fowler was 'natural goal scorer' and 'bled' Liverpool but..Owen always was more like 'Englands - Owen' (very similar to the status afforded to Kevin keegan who oddly is more associated with Newcastle than Liverpool which is strange?) But I was thinking around a year ago and reminded myself what a great player he was and he did achieve (I think he only never won the Champs League - Irony cruel as Liverpool won it the season he went to Real 'to win things!!') but he won everything else (he got a prem medal with Man United hmmmm) Michael between 1997-2004 (was unstoppable) his peak 1998-2002. I think because his game depended on speed - and a dynamic speed the english game had never seen before from an english striker and hasn't since (Rashford is fast with the ball at his feet but finishing far more inconsistent) he needed a manager who could show him how to become something else which he could clearly do. He was dynamic (like Anelka - they're brief partnership at Liverpool - was ridiculous, it's a shame Houllier didn't take Anelka permanently👀 Houllier said he was trying to move back to Arsenal...I'm not sure about that. They're partnership could've been Pre--Mane & Salah and potentially far more lethal) He was a superstar and I will say probably still the most explosive England Forward probably since Jimmy Greaves. Kane is the best but he has scored lots of penalties. Owen's goal against Argentina is probably the greatest england goal in a World Cup Finals and is next to Barnes for a best individual goal! It's true Owen is a legend (and liverpool fans secretly know that and I think have forgiven him - I definitely have)

Then he signed for United and scored the winner against city....and that's all most seem to remember him as of late. I remember him smashing every youth record at Liverpool over and over and over again. To realise Owens skill, you need to see him from the Academy at Liverpool up to his move to Real Madrid.
