      A retired British footballer (generally considered a very good one), and England’s “great hope” in the 1998 Football World Cup.

      “Little Michael Owen is England’s great hope, he’s only 18, and he’s playing in the World Cup. If we lose, we’ll blame everything on him. No pressure”.

        Fortunately we blamed it all on Beckham instead.

        If you’re going to kick another player and get sent off, at least kick them hard…
