Micheal owens biography

Michael Owen is wired differently. He has thought so all his life, or at least as far back as he can remember — as a six-year-old kicking a ball around Deeside Leisure Centre and feeling a certainty that others his age simply did not have.

His father Terry could sense it too. “His coordination was exceptional, but it was his mentality that set him apart,” Terry says in the first pages of Owen’s new autobiography Reboot. “He was a forceful character, relentless in his pursuit of getting his own way. I’ve never met anybody with a mind as strong as his.”

Michael Owen - Biography

Born in Chester, England, on 14 December 1979, Michael James Owen grew up just across the border in Hawarden, North Wales. Football was in his blood as Michael's father Terry was a professional player at, among other clubs, Everton. Had Terry known his son would end up playing for arch-rivals Liverpool, perhaps he would have pushed him in a different direction! But all jokes aside, Terry evidently recognized his son's talent and allowed him to attend the Football Association's School of Excellence at Lilleshall in Staffordshire from the age of 14. 

Career beginnings

Keeping up his studies at Hawarden High School, Michael earned ten GCSEs, but despite the academic success it was still on the pitch where his future lay. On his 17th birthday he signed on as a full professional with Liverpool. Only a year later he was making his debut for the England squad.
