Michael Owen's time at Newcastle United has been well-documented, thanks to the publicity of his recently released memoir. It is safe to say that Owen did not enjoy his time at the club.

He did not even want to be there, with Liverpool being his preferred destination when he was leaving Real Madrid in 2005. The revelations even led to a Twitter spat between Owen and Newcastle legend Alan Shearer.

Owen could be classified as a Liverpool legend, especially considering his excellent form for them from the late 90s to the early 2000s. He even won the Ballon d'Or in 2001, after helping the Reds to an unorthodox treble of the League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup.

Owen was near unplayable at Anfield, but his career went downhill after he left the club. His time at Newcastle falls under that bracket.
