★Memo★
Owen, born in Chester on December 14, 1979 Countess of Chester Hospital. With a population of only 120,000, Chester is a quiet town. Even if you don’t know it, Chester’s art and architecture have been world-famous since the Middle Ages. Because of Owen, this town is even more remarkable.
When Owen was about two years old, he learned to play football as soon as he learned to walk. The first time he played football was with his two older brothers. Since his two brothers were very good at playing football, Irving wanted to be like his two brothers and become a professional football player since he was a child, just like his father.
Irving got his first pair of football shoes when he was 7 years old, and at that time joined his first team, the Hawarden Pathfinders Cubs, and started his football career. Irving's skills and speed on the team have attracted many people's attention.
The 8-year-old Irving scored 97 goals in the first season of the school league, which became a school league record. Irving was playing as a midfielder at the time, but he scored in twelve games. He scored as many as 30 goals, which made many big players pay attention to him at that time. The coach of the team even sent him to represent the county in the league. In the county league, he scored 98 goals in one season, breaking the record of Liverpool legend Ian Rush. At that time, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and other major clubs also wanted to sign Irving, but Irving finally decided on Liverpool. Because Owen was still young at the time and Liverpool was relatively close to Chester.
At the age of 14, Irving was sent to study at the Lietzur Football School for two years. Irving was the youngest at the time.
On his 15th birthday (1995), Liverpool officially signed Irving, and Irving's professional football career officially began. Owen received the check for six hundred pounds and immediately transferred it to the bank.
In 1996, he scored 11 goals in 5 games in the FA Youth Cup. In 1997, Owen, who was 17 years old and 143 days old, participated in the professional league for the first time. The team he faced at that time was Wimbledon. He scored in the first Super League game he participated in. Although Liverpool lost 1:2 in this game, Owen became the youngest player and youngest scorer in Liverpool's history. At the end of the season, he was selected as the 96/97 PFA Best Young Player and the 96/97 BBC Best Young Player.
At the age of 18 and 59, in the game against Morocco at Wembley Stadium, Owen became England's youngest player and youngest goal scorer this century. In the 1998 France World Cup match between England and Argentina, Irving scored a goal of the century, making the whole world know Irving! He became the pride of the football world overnight!
So far, Irving has won the top scorer title in the English Premier League twice. In the 1997-98 season, he became the league's top scorer with 18 goals, and in the 1998-99 season, he became the league's top scorer with 18 goals. and become the league's top scorer.
In 2001, he won the English League Cup, English FA Cup, UEFA Cup and European Super Cup for Liverpool. In the World Cup qualifying match, England miraculously scored three goals in a row against the German team, helping England beat the German team 5:1! And helped England successfully enter the 2002 World Cup finals by finishing first in the group. In the same year, he won the European Footballer of the Year award and scored his 100th league goal for Liverpool.
