you reckon he might of been regarded as world class because of his ten league championship medals and that little World Cup winners medal he has won...just a thought...
Owen won the Ballon D'Or with us, what had he won by then? Just a thought.
again all about how you define it...your right Owen won the Ballon D'Or with us, he won it on the back of scoring goals in the Europa League and because he scored a hatrick against the worst German side in living memory...yes that's the season he won it....same season Raul of Real Madrid scored a similar amount of goals, won the league with Madrid and I think he scored same or similar amount of goals in the Champions League and they gave it to Michael Owen...make of that what you want.
Just for the record and you seem to like these types of awards...I suppose you think George Burley was the best manager in 2001, he guided Ipswich Town to fifth place in the league even tho Sir Alex Ferguson won the League and Gerard Houllier won us a League Cup, FA Cup and Europa League...
