Michael Owen
Michael Owen rose through Liverpool's academy to become one of the most exciting young strikers in world football, announcing himself on the global stage with a stunning solo goal for England against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup. Blisteringly quick and a natural finisher, Owen won the PFA Young Player of the Year award twice and was part of Liverpool's famous 2001 cup treble, scoring both goals in a dramatic FA Cup final win over Arsenal. In 2001 he became the third and, to date, most recent Liverpool player to win the Ballon d'Or. Owen scored 158 goals in 297 appearances before leaving for Real Madrid in 2004, and remains one of the most naturally gifted goalscorers the club has produced.
