More quotes by Michael Owen
I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.
Michael Owen
A lot of people have lost interest in watching England play. To get motivated to watch international football, you need your country to be having some form of success and England haven't had any for a long time now.

I've always been a player that likes to get round the back and get crosses in for other people. When I first burst on to the scene some people only saw the goals I was scoring. More recently they've taken notice of the goals I've set up. It is nice to be recognized for that.
Michael Owen
An emotion that lives with me is a sense of what might have been had injuries not robbed me of my most lethal weapon - speed.

Scholesy was a genius, absolute genius. He was a center-forward's dream, you could make a run and he'd put the ball perfectly in your path. Any footballer you ask will always tell you that Scholesy was one of the best players they've ever played with.

I can't believe anyone can have played the game of football as well as Messi.

Michael Owen
I have always been confident that I would make it to the top.
Michael Owen
Nobody on this planet had a range of passing like Paul Scholes. Training every day was a pleasure just watching him. Unbelievable career.
Michael Owen
I'm sure clubs have a lot of power these days.
Michael Owen
When you put better teams in front of you, that's when the big players rise to that occasion.
Michael Owen
I wouldn't change my life for the world at the moment.
Michael Owen
[Wayne Rooney] has to be viewed as a great England striker if he breaks Sir Bobby Charlton's record. Scoring goals at international level is much more difficult than it was a few years back because even the lesser teams are well organised and don't concede too many goals these days.
Michael Owen
I don't get a lot of enjoyment out of sitting there for an hour and a half watching a game like we saw between Ireland and England last Sunday.
Michael Owen
You're on your own out there with ten mates.
Michael Owen
You always come back to earth with a thump at some stage. Life has it's ups and downs the acid test is how you handle the downs.
Michael Owen
I have a great family, good friends, a nice girlfriend, my own house. I have got everything how I want it to be.
Michael Owen
Clubs don't like their players going off to play international matches and you can see a scenario where they eventually start to make it more difficult for international sides to call up players.
