Once England’s most promising striker, Owen is remembered for the mountain of success he achieved while playing for Liverpool. Unfortunately, pedigree alone was not enough to protect him from an ACL injury during the 2006 World Cup in a game England fought against Sweden. After this injury, Owen could never again reach his previous level of play, and after unsuccessful stints at both Manchester United and Stokes, he came off the field for good. However, he is still active in the Footballing world as a commentator.
