Great video, his helicopter in Dubai is also fantastic.

I actually find Owen unintentionally hilarious, but pretty sure he's on the spectrum or something.
That clip of him in that 'soccer skills' show he did, volleying close range shots at a 14 year old in front of Neville Southall - i think it's one of my favourite bits of TV.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just watched that and this one:

I keep watching back his celebration at 1.26.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, it's brilliant.
Just watched the volley one again as I made that comment. It's facking amazing...he's 5 yards out
https://youtu.be/Dltm2Fs97tQ?si=scrStBIZvQs3Znqy
The helicopter video is amazing.
bloodred, his voiceover makes it even better.
“I just love volleying. Poor old Jamie has no chance.”
Easily a top 5 all time EPL striker
-------------------------
So wait, you would have him ahead of one of Henry, Aguero, Kane, Shearer and Rooney?
On what basis? That he was really good when he was young? Yeah he was but unfortunately him not fulfilling his potential and his lack of longevity leaves him short of the above guys.
Andy Cole is very much underrated, to score those goals without taking penalties is outrageous.
Michael Owen had something different from all the players rated, and in his field he was the best at what he does. Explosiveness and quick with clean finishing, he's definitely amongst the very best.

Surely RVN has to be in there
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fowler, RVN, Drogba, Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Defoe as well as Owen were all great strikers and we already know that Haaland will have a place there a bit later....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll put Jamie Vardy ahead of many, he did what he did the hardest way. It is incredible to achieve what Vardy has achieved at Leicester City, not the glamorous traditional top teams with hundreds of millions of players supporting him.

The Fowler vs Owen thing reminds of when people try and convince you that Ronaldo is better than Messi.
Just use your eyes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
messi, ronaldo, and owen are ballon d'or winners
fowler never got anywhere near
so, totaling up the opinions on here and we have a decision. Owen was overrated. Nice one gents, who is next?
