Michael Owen - The Boy Wonder

In February 1998, he became the youngest player to represent England in the 20th century. He scored what was arguably the goal of the tournament in the 1998 World Cup, France.

Owen has a rare gift of opportunism, the ability to be in the right place at the right time. But what really makes him special is the blistering pace he possesses, which takes him past defenders in a jiffy.

After the euphoria of the 1998 World Cup, a series of injuries robbed him of his pace and threatened to end his career.
