Stoke City striker Michael Owen has declared that he will end his playing career when the season finishes.
"It is with an immense amount of pride that I am announcing my intention to retire from professional football at the end of this season," he wrote in a statement on his official website.
At his peak however at I would say just 22 or so, he was a beast.
The Argentina goal was amazing.
He tore Germany a new one in that famous victory in 2001, one I won't soon forget I remember precisely where I was at the time.
Thirdly for me personally was the 2001 FA cup final where Liverpool were useless and Arsenal were all over them for most of the game, only to have the ball drop to Owen twice and he proceeded to tear apart one of the best defences around to score the winner and secure Liverpool the cup they had no right to after their final performance.

Dixon and Adams both mugged for fun. His pace was electric, they had yards on him to start and still didn't get close.
Well we have support around the world unlike most teams so yeah they probably were.
The red half of Manchester was buzzing also, it's always nice to stick it into our one blue colleague.
Where abouts in Manchester are you from? After that thinly veiled dig you can't possibly tell me you are not from Manchester.
Pundit maybe? ;)
