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.

More quotes by Michael Owen
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.

If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.
Michael Owen
The bottom line is that I wanted to come back and play in the Premier League again and wake up on Saturday morning and really fancy getting out there and playing in front of this fantastic support, scoring goals and enjoying football. (on returning to the premiership)
Michael Owen
I hate to admit this but I don't even know how to make a cup of tea or coffee. I can boil a kettle for a pot noodle and I've been known to warm up some food in the microwave.

Give me a great Champions League game or an exciting Premier League game ahead of an international match and I'd love that to reverse. A lot of people have lost interest in England games, it is quite hard to watch.
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
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
Best atmosphere I ever played in was at Celtic Park in the UEFA Cup for Liverpool.
Michael Owen
I loved [Real Madrid]. It was a real experience, playing with a great team. One of the first questions I'm often asked is 'What was Madrid like?' It's got that mystique about it. It's a magical place and a magical team, and everything about it is great.
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
There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster.
Michael Owen
I thought I would break the scoring record when I got to 40 goals by the age of 27 or 28, but then Fabio Capello took over and he never picked me again.
Michael Owen
If you cut me in half, I'm a footballer.
Michael Owen
I wouldn't change my life for the world at the moment.
Michael Owen
I think the greatest Real Madrid player of all time is Cristiano Ronaldo followed by Ferenc Puskas. Ronaldo equalled Puskas’ great record of 242 goals in fewer games. He was also the fastest Real Madrid player to score 100 goals and holds the record for most goals scored for Madrid in a season.
Michael Owen
To be the best you have to forget partying and concentrate all your energies on the football.
Michael Owen
I think it's getting tougher and tougher, all the big teams are getting stronger and there's more of them.
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.
Michael Owen
When you put better teams in front of you, that's when the big players rise to that occasion.
Michael Owen
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.
