Michael James Owen (born 14 December 1979 in Chester) is an English professional footballer who is currently a free agent after being released by Manchester United in June 2012.
The son of former footballer Terry Owen, Owen began his senior career at Liverpool in 1996. He progressed through the Liverpool youth team and scored on his debut in May 1997. In his first full season in the Premier League he finished as joint top scorer with 18 goals. He repeated this the following year and was Liverpool's top goal scorer from 1997–2004, despite a recurring hamstring injury. In 2001, Liverpool won a cup treble of the UEFA Cup, FA Cup and Football League Cup, and Owen was the recipient of the Ballon d'Or. He went on to score 118 goals in 216 appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool.
Owen moved to Real Madrid for £8 million in mid-2004; he was frequently used as a substitute. He scored 13 goals in La Liga and had the season's highest ratio of goals scored to number of minutes played. He returned to England the following season, joining Newcastle United for £16 million. After a promising start to the 2005–06 season, injuries largely ruled him out over the next 18 months. After his return he became team captain and was the team's top scorer for the 2007–08 season. After the final season of his four-year contract, Newcastle were relegated, and Owen moved to Manchester United as a free agent.

The story to tell when the cops show up
Michael and Anne thinkin it up
The story to tell when the cops show up
There was a fight over a girl
Out of all the people in this world
I never thought he’d have a gun
But now it seems more than likely that he certainly had one

The story to tell when the cops show up
Michael and Anne thinkin it up
The story to tell when the cops show up
He was kind of upset
I think that he was playing Russian roulette
He was alone in the room
We were watching Dallas when we heard the big boom
Michael and Anne thinkin it up
The story to tell when the cops show up

The story to tell when the cops show up
I’ve never seen this man before
He must have jimmied the lock on the back door
Maybe a vagrant from the park
You know it’s really hard to tell you know the whole house was dark
