There were just 51 seconds on the clock when Michael Owen felt his knee buckle. The Newcastle United star's World Cup was over before it had really started.
It was June 20, 2006 and England were facing Sweden in the Three Lions' final group game in Cologne when Owen went down. The striker had just had what proved to be one of his only touches of the night after cutting inside from the touchline and passing the ball to Ashley Cole without a second thought.
However, when Owen picked out his team-mate, for a split-second, it was as if there was no signal between his brain and his foot. As Owen's body went into one position, his leg was moving elsewhere and his right knee snapped.
