Owen to retire at the end of the season!

Owen scoring V Manchester City
Today Michael Owen has announced his retirement. Michael Owen has enjoyed a very successful career scoring many goals and winning many trophy's.
My Favourite memory of Michael Owen is when he scored two goals late on against Arsenal in the Fa Cup Final in 2001. It was my favourite memory of him as he was young  and Liverpool have been hammered the whole Game V Arsenal and in the end they won 2-1. At Liverpool and Real Madrid he had a very good record with goals and his fitness. But when he joined Newcastle his fitness record sank faster than the Titanic as he didn't even average half of Newcastle games.
After his bad spell at Newcastle he joined Liverpool arch rivals, Manchester Untied on a free transfer. Several attempts for Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard to make Owen joined were rejected by Rafa.  His best moment came in a Manchester Untied shirt when he scored a last minute winner in the Manchester Derby as Manchester Untied clinched it from a well earned draw for Manchester City. And in the same season Michael Owen scored a hatrick in the Champions League against German champions (at the time) Wolfsburg. Manchester Untied released Owen and he moved to Stoke City. He has only scored one goal and that was against Swansea as Stoke lost 3-1. Now he may become an FA ambassador as he has announced his retirement at the end of the season. Owen has also made 89 caps for England and scored against Germany as England beat them 5-1 in their own country.
