"Form is temporary, class is permanent", is a phrase that has often been repeated in Michael Owen's career.
He has always delivered a fair amount of goals every season, except 1999-2000 when he was out with injury for long periods. He may have dry spells in between but that is to be expected of the best.
Owen is the only Liverpool player who has been voted the best player in Europe. He is one of 11 LFC players who have scored over 100 league goals for the club, a feat he achieved in 185 games. He was crowned the "Prince of Wales" after his mastery won the FA Cup in 2001. He's been the Premier League's joint top scorer twice. He was the youngest ever England international in the 20th century and has played in nearly 90 internationals (scoring 40 goals) and appeared in three World cups. He scored eight hat-tricks in his LFC career.

He was a star at Liverpool, but sadly he wanted to test pastures new at Real Madrid. He scored no less than 16 goals in his only season at the Bernabeu despite being mainly used as a substitute. Owen returned to England in the summer of 2005 and signed for Newcastle, partly because Real seemed to want around twice the fee that they had paid Liverpool only a year earlier.
Michael suffered constantly with injuries after joining Newcastle. Although he was fit enough to take his place in England's 2006 World Cup squad, he suffered a serious knee-injury in the first minute of the group match against Sweden, an injury that would keep him out of action for almost a year. He didn't return to first-team action in a competitive game until the last day of April, 2007 but only two weeks later was stretchered off the pitch after colliding with a team-mate on the final day of the Barclays Premier League season.

Owen managed to make 27 Premier League appearances for Newcastle in 2007-08, scoring 11 goals. Again he struggled with injuries and the following year was part of the Magpies' squad that was relegated to the Championship.
In the summer of 2009 he stunned Kopites by signing for arch-rivals Manchester United on a free transfer.
