Summary

It’s fair to say, Michael Owen has been somewhat of a divisive character since leaving Liverpool back in 2004, but following the launch of his new autobiography, Michael Owen: Reboot, he joins us for a Blood Red special to give his account. From his rise into the first team at the age of 17 to winning the Reds the 2001 FA Cup Final as part of the historic 2000/01 Treble winning season. Moving on, he talks about his move away in 2004 and his longing to return to Liverpool, only for it never to happen. Meanwhile, given his successes with the national team too, he gives an honest response to claims he may have ever prioritised England over Liverpool. One not to miss. Let us know what you think on our Blood Red Podcast Facebook group. Enjoy! For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
