MICHAEL OWEN QUOTES |
|
|
"For me there's
nothing better than putting the white shirt on for England and
playing for England. I'd get worried if I wasn't like that." -
Michael Owen
"I can boil a kettle for a pot noodle and have been known to
warm up some food in the microwave but cookery is definitely not
one of my specialties." - Michael Owen
"I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going
to score." - Michael Owen
"To be at the top, you have to have a competitive streak in you.
If you're not performing, you've got to be angry with yourself."
- Michael Owen
"Michael Owen set the World Cup alight. I am sorry he has gone
home because he is such an exciting player. It would have been
good to play for England and been on the same pitch as him." -
Ronaldo
"My favourite player is Michael Owen" -
Pele
"For me, young Michael Owen is the jewel in England's crown. I
was fortunate to get Ronaldo playing for me at PSV and I
certainly believe Owen is as good now as Ronaldo was at 18." -
Bobby Robson
"Michael Owen has made as big an impact on world football as
Cruyff, Maradona and Pele" - Kevin Keegan
"Michael is the type of player that if you had 90 games, he
would want to play in 91." - Liverpool
manager Gerard Houllier
"He is very good on the ball, is intelligent and scores goals,
but also very quick and can run in behind defenders. I am very
happy if he wants to be the new Alan Shearer." - English
national coach Sven-Goran Eriksson
"He's a born goal scorer, a killer. A clean killer. It's an odd
and potent combination. Owen is invariably polite, never pops
off in the press, and says he doesn't drink beer, tea or coffee."
- Eriksson
"Nobody knows how fast he is until they play him. He has games
when everything he touches turns to gold." -
US goalkeeper Brad Friedel
"He's so driven to improve. That's not common among English
players. Sometimes when you're too good too young, it's hard to
find the motivation to improve. Michael isn't like that." -
Liverpool teammate Dieter Hamm
"He's the most exciting thing to happen to English soccer in
years. Rarely have I seen someone accomplish so much in so
little time." - former Liverpool manager
Roy Evans
