More quotes by Michael Owen
My Dad was briefly an Everton player and I used to follow them as a boy.
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
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
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 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
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.
Michael Owen
The Spanish league is fantastic, but it has not the great passion the English Premiership has got.
Michael Owen
The better the opposition put in front of you, the better your team plays.
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
If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.
Michael Owen
If you cut me in half, I'm a footballer.
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
Bayern Munich are probably the standout team on the planet.
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 think it's getting tougher and tougher, all the big teams are getting stronger and there's more of them.
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
