I was born to score goals, I feel. How I score them – how I get the ball into the back of the net – might have changed. The actual ability of what I was born to do will never leave me. Michael Owen Read Quote

I’d love to go and I’d love to play for my country and go to a World Cup again. I’ve got to accept I’m not in the current squad and just think, ‘If I get it, it’s a bonus and I’ll give it everything.’ But it’s hard to do when you’ve been thinking a different way all your life. Michael Owen Read Quote
There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster. Michael Owen Read Quote
