Not the proper one though.
Even the Liverpool fans don't like him. For me he's probably the biggest example in my time of a very good player peaking drastically at a young age

My other half is a Liverpool fan and was outside Melwood one day trying to get the wean's top signed by some players.
Guys like Hyypia, Riise, Gerrard all got out of their cars and took time to do photos and autographs.
Owen drove straight through without even rolling down the window of his car, even though he was the star player most people wanted wanted see.
Apparently didn't like people selling autographs or signed memorabilia on ebay.
Wee prick.

A monotone lady's front bottom. That helicopter apartment tour, whatever the %^*& it was is probably the worst thing I've seen.

I'm sure I heard him say he had no real interest in football outside of playing - & rarely ever watched it - preferring to watch other sports
I have to say this explains a lot to me - about both his personality ( or lack of it) & his banal commentary/ punditry
You have to wonder what makes T.V. companies choose these guys ?
Whatever it is - it isn't working !

He played for Man Utd, is there an ex Utd player Liverpool fans like?
Well done he's 13what a prick
Seemed to be lost on the knob as well. Too wrapped up in his own world.
That explains it then.
I'm honestly not sure why BT gave him the gig. He really offers nothing to a football show.

“Good thing he has that great Scottish sense of humour”. (In the most boring voice ever). My highlight

British football punditry is ground zero for wage thieves.
Remember as a wee guy watching a piece on him when he'd broke through and everyone was creaming themselves. I thought he was amazing, then on that show he said his mum still washes and folds his kits, still drives him to every game and he'd never cooked anything in his life, never made a cup of tea and didn't know how to 'do' a pot noodle. Ended with me thinking he was an absolute wee wank.

Doesn’t like music either. Drives about in silence. Absolute weirdo.
Michael Owen: I don't like music, I've only heard seven albums - Getintothis
Following Michael Owen’s revelation that he hates films and has only actually seen eight, Getintothis’ Chester de Zeeuw, caught up with the ex-Liverpool FC star to talk music – and why he really doesn’t enjoy that either. Music and cinema go hand in hand. And that’s why Michael Owen has given...

The Argentina game from France 98 is on YouTube.
He really was incredible and not just his finishing he was a very good player too.

Not the brightest and not a good pundit. But the hate for him is bizarre.
Whistles like the butcher fromAt the Leeds game yesterday when talking about their goalkeeper he said, 'I remember watching him when he was about 16 at Leeds' academy. 'He just looked the part. Leeds were dominating the game that I watched.'He hardly had a touch, but you know when you just see someone thinking "he's got a chance"? Just by his appearance, the way he spoke, positioned himself.'
The bizarre part of this all is that the goalkeeper in question Illan Meslier only signed for Leeds in 2019 and was playing for Lorients second team at 16
Another mental screw up from Owen who’s great punditry includes quotes like these…

They say he started 47 games, was paid £20 million so £425 000 per game

Those 47 games were over 3 years he spent most of the time injured.
