Owen rose to fame during the 1998 World Cup due to stellar performances in an England shirt, but he started his senior career for Liverpool as a 16 year old in 1996. Owen played for Liverpool for 8 seasons and was one of the best strikers in the world in his prime.

He also won the Ballon d’Or in 2001 and was part of Liverpool’s treble winning team in the 2000-01 season as the Reds won the FA Cup, UEFA Cup and the League Cup.

Owen was a brilliant dribbler and was very fast with the ball at his feet. He was reasonably good in the air, and scored 158 goals in 297 matches for Liverpool.

He joined Manchester United in 2009 and spent 3 seasons with them. He often warmed the bench for United as they had strikers like Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Robin Van Persie in their line-up. Still, Owen managed to score 17 goals from 52 matches for them and also win the Premier League title in 2010-11.
