Quite amusing looking back at his record breaking £3.6m transfer fee! Sam Gallagher supposedly cost more this summer, making the same move.
Owen robbed a living off a number of clubs once he was broken. Quite fitting that he ended up giving a large chunk of his ‘earnings’ to bookies. I’d love to see him spunk the lot tbh.
True dat, even we missed him too but you lot always had a great rep back then for bringing the best out of young players..
One of my football coaches in my youth claimed he had coached Shearer at some point when Shearer was young. Told us what separated him apart from other kids of his age at the time (about 8 or 9 iirc) was that he could kick the ball dead straight, no movement left or right, just perfectly straight. In the same training session about 4 of my team did the exact same thing. He was a **** coach
