Club Career Highlights
Liverpool Years: Youth to Stardom
Youth Career and Early Success
At 12, Michael Owen could sign a schoolboy contract with a club. Liverpool was the first big club to notice him. Their youth development officer, Steve Heighway, wrote to Owen personally. Owen's father said Michael was impressed from day one. Owen then signed with the Liverpool youth team.
At 14, Owen went to the FA's School of Excellence. He quickly played for England's youth teams, breaking scoring records with 28 goals in 20 games for the England Under-15 and Under-16 teams. He also scored many goals as he moved up through Liverpool's youth ranks.

Owen was Liverpool's top goalscorer from 1997 to 2004. He won the Premier League Golden Boot again in the 1998–99 season. However, he started to suffer from a recurring hamstring injury.
Winning the Treble and Ballon d'Or
In the 2000–01 season, Owen helped Liverpool win three trophies: the League Cup, FA Cup, and UEFA Cup. This was a huge achievement for the club. Owen scored both of Liverpool's goals in the 2001 FA Cup Final against Arsenal, helping them win 2–1.

Liverpool also won the Charity Shield and the UEFA Super Cup in 2001. This meant Liverpool won five trophies in one calendar year.
Final Years at Liverpool and Transfer
Owen continued to play well in the 2002–03 season. He scored his 100th Premier League goal in April 2003. Liverpool also won the League Cup that season, with Owen scoring in the final against Manchester United. However, Liverpool did not qualify for the Champions League, which led to talk about Owen leaving.
In August 2004, Real Madrid signed Owen for £8 million. He had been Liverpool's top scorer every season since 1998.
Real Madrid Adventure
On 14 August 2004, Michael Owen officially joined Real Madrid. He wore the number 11 shirt. He played alongside famous players like Luís Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, and David Beckham.
Owen had a slow start at Madrid, often starting games on the bench. However, he soon found his form. He scored his first goal for the club in a Champions League game in October 2004.

Newcastle United Chapter
Joining Newcastle and Injury Struggles
On 24 August 2005, Newcastle United announced they had agreed to sign Owen for a club record fee of £16.8 million. Owen wanted more playing time to secure his place in the England squad for the 2006 World Cup. He signed a four-year contract with Newcastle. About 20,000 fans came to St James' Park to welcome him.
Soon after signing, he got a thigh injury. He scored his first goal for Newcastle in his second game, a 3–0 win against Blackburn Rovers. On 17 December, he scored his first hat-trick for Newcastle against West Ham United. He scored one goal with his left foot, one with his right foot, and one with his head.
On 31 December 2005, Owen broke a bone in his foot. This injury kept him out of action for many months. Then, in the first minute of a World Cup game against Sweden in 2006, he badly twisted his right knee. He had torn a ligament in his knee, which meant he was out of football for almost a year. This serious injury caused a big discussion about clubs and countries sharing the cost of player injuries.
Owen started training again in February 2007. He played his first game for Newcastle in over a year on 30 April 2007. He played the full 90 minutes.
Later Years at Newcastle
Owen continued to face injuries. In July 2007, he got a thigh injury in training. In late September 2007, he needed an operation for a double hernia. In November 2007, he suffered another thigh strain while playing for England.
Despite the injuries, Owen became team captain for Newcastle in January 2008. He scored his 150th Premier League goal in February 2008. He finished the 2007–08 season with 11 goals.
In the 2008–09 season, Owen played more consistently. He scored the winning goal in his first game back from injury against Bolton Wanderers. However, it was a very difficult season for Newcastle. On the final day of the season, 24 May 2009, Newcastle was relegated from the Premier League. Owen decided not to sign a new contract with Newcastle. He later said he regretted moving to Newcastle and had hoped to return to Liverpool.
Manchester United Era
Surprise Move and Debut Season
On 3 July 2009, it was announced that Owen had signed a two-year deal with Manchester United. This was a surprise move because Manchester United is a big rival of Liverpool.

Owen scored his first goal for United on his debut in a friendly game. He scored his first competitive goal for Manchester United against Wigan Athletic on 22 August.

Because of his impact, Owen started the next game against Colombia. He kept his place for the second-round match against Argentina.
