More quotes by Michael Owen
To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game.

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.

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.

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.

[Wayne Rooney] best tournament was the 2004 European Championships, when he played alongside me and made such a big impact, but it hasn't happened for him at the World Cup for one reason or another.

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.

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.

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
As everyone knows I've got a passion for horses.
Michael Owen
I have always been confident that I would make it to the top.

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
I wouldn't change my life for the world at the moment.
Michael Owen
The longer my career has gone, the more I seem to score... It's experience and age and knowing where the ball's going to be.
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
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
If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.
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.

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

I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.
