Michael Owen: "In terms of picking up injuries, I'm no different to anyone else. Getting injured is part and parcel of football. I've been the luckiest man in the world in my career so far.

"I've played 80 odd times for England at 27. I was probably due a bad one at some point but I'd like to think I've come back just as good as before what was a career-threatening injury.

"It is great to be back in the team and scoring again. It makes all the hard work worthwhile.

"But it is not about me. It is about everyone. I think everyone knows what I am about and I've played many times for England and scored many goals."

Yep, that's the way Michael. You keep banging in those goals for England, and who knows, we might get the same at St James' Park. Eh?
