Michael Owen has given football fans fantastic moments. But one of the strangest transfers in Stoke City's history.
James Whittaker@northstokie
All the best to Michael Owen, what a shame he never had that last season of opportunity, it should never have been with us.
Sime@yyydelilah10@themichaelowen Sad news. My ticket from THAT night in Munich is still cherished. Would love to see you bag a hattrick in a Stoke shirt.
Mark Holmes@Homzy
I feel really, really sorry for Owen. His last season as a pro should have been so much better than this.
David Richards @IlforddaveSCFC
@themichaelowen well cheers for the goal youth, and keeping that bench warm n splinter free.
Mighty Potter@darren2903
@themichaelowen I just wish we could of seen a bit more of you, all the best for the future.
8 - Michael Owen is one of only eight players to score hat-tricks for more than one club in the Champions League. Trebles.
OptaJoe@OptaJoe150 - @themichaelowen is one of only eight players to have scored 150 goals in the Premier League. Retirement.
OptaJoe@OptaJoe23 - No player has ever reached 100 Premier League goals at a younger age than @themichaelowen did (23y 134d). Prodigy.

“Can i just say sorry Michael from all the Stokies who would have loved to have seen you out on the pitch banging in the goals in a Stokie shirt.Alas, as i am sure you already know, we have a clueless idiot in charge, with coaching staff with even less ability,Hence your lack of appearances on the pitch. Good luck in all you do Michael,and thanks for all you did for England. Sorry again you were not given the chance at Stoke by the clown prince.”
