I understand that Michael Owen's career was cut short due to injury - but he himself said that he wanted to retire earlier as he HATED playing football for, don't quote me on this as it's been a YEARS since I've listened to anything he's said, I think he said for the last 6/7years so that would place him at the end of his Real Madrid stint...that also included playing for England!
Harry Kane isn't just a better footballer, unlike Owen, he's been able to adapt to age & injuries while keeping a consistent level of performances.
I think Owen's history is kind of glazed over with rose tinted glasses 'oooh he was a sensation!' yeah I guess but with Liverpool he wasn't as good as Fowler, for Real Madrid he wasn't as good as R9, for Newcastle he wasn't as good as Shearer & with Man U he wasn't as good as Berbatov or Rooney...
I honestly think he should fukk off & keep to selling shite to the general public during world cup seasons in crappy adverts & being embarrassed by his daughter who oddly facially looks EXACTLY like him but hey I guess that's what paper bags are for eh?
