Former England striker Michael Owen is to retire from football at the end of the season.
Owen, 33, who scored 40 goals in 89 internationals, played for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle United and Manchester United and is now at Stoke.
He said: "It is with an immense amount of pride that I am announcing my intention to retire.
"I have been very fortunate in that my career has taken me on a journey I could only have dreamed of."

He should of called it a day three or four years ago, he declined rapidly and has become somewhat of a laughing stock now.

Not every player stays at the highest level in their 30's or so.

I dont think its very strange.

Not many teams have use for a poacher who can no longer run and on top of that has no other skills.

Had a brilliant career that was unfortunately marred by his last few "free-floater" years. All the best to him, though.

I used to adore him in his time with Pool and Madrid. Sadly he just turned into a c*nt and injuries ruined him.

In his prime he was insane. Probably the best striker we had in the last decade. It's pretty hard to remember his best now since it was 5 years ago or more but if he had stayed at liverpool he would have been an English legend. Probably all time EPL top scorer as well.

Will never forget his goal against Argentina and the hattrick against Germany.

And as an Arsenal fan, Will never forget his double against us in the FA cup final :facepalm:

lmao Shearer retired in 2000 Laughing

And Owen is 7th atm in the all time premier league table. Despite not scoring more than 10 goals since 2007! while playing for madrid before that.

Great player in his prime very unlucky but he chose his path. Like RG says should have stayed at Liverpool.
