Michael James Owen (born 14 December 1979 in Chester, Cheshire) is an English football striker who currently plays for English Premier League club Newcastle United F.C. and the England national team.
Owen was bitten by the "football bug" at a very young age.
Liverpool signed Owen after he graduated from Lilleshall at 16, and joined the club on the Youth Training Scheme.
Following their successful bid, Owen was presented with the number 11 shirt by Real Madrid. Owen had a slow start to his Madrid career.
On 24 August 2005, Newcastle United announced that they had agreed a club record fee of £16 million to obtain Owen, although they still had to negotiate with the player's advisers.
