Michael Owen isn’t exactly adored by Liverpool fans. Despite for all intents and purposes being a Reds legend, there are many Kopites who have never forgiven Owen for his decision to join Manchester United during the twilight years of his career.
Owen is in the top 10 all-time leading goalscorers for the club having broken onto the scene at Anfield as an unstoppable roadrunner up front, going onto win two Premier League Golden Boots and even the Ballon d’Or in 2001.
As the most recent English winner of the prestigious prize and the first of just two victors from the Premier League in the modern era, Owen reached a dazzling peak that you'd expect would secure him legendary status on Merseyside forever.
However, it simply hasn't proved to be the case with Owen having even been given a frosty reception upon returns to Anfield since hanging up his boots.
