Michael Owen

Michael Owen stood out from the off. The goal on his debut for Liverpool at the age of 17 became a trademark finish, beating the Wimbledon defence for speed before a clinical strike.

This lightning pace and deadly eye for goal helped Owen finish as top scorer for the Merseyside club in every season between 1997/98 and 2003/04, claiming the Golden Boot twice.  

A spell at Manchester United, in which he scored a last-gasp winner in a 4-3 derby triumph over Manchester City in his debut campaign, earned him his first title.

Owen, who also played for Newcastle United and Stoke City, remains one of only 11 players with 150 or more Premier League goals.

What they said

"He was a fantastic player. He was clever, a very intelligent person. I remember the person as well as the player. He was extremely fast and could withstand the challenges." – Gerard Houllier

"He will go down in our history in England as one of the greatest goalscorers and strikers we've had." – Frank Lampard

"He was a baby-faced assassin. His finishing was amazing for a young man. He had that coolness in the penalty area. Some players get anxious but he seemed to get calmer and calmer." – Glenn Hoddle
