Michael Owen has put aside his longstanding feud with Alan Shearer to name the former Newcastle United striker in his all-time Premier League XI.
Owen and Shearer famously don’t get on with each other and have previously engaged in online spats which stem from their time together at St James' Park. The two England strikers played alongside each other at the club, but rather than develop a deadly partnership, they ended up falling out quite spectacularly.
Back in 2006, Owen was the £17million signing from Real Madrid with the weight of expectation on his shoulders. Initially they got on well, with Shearer doing his best to help the new arrival settle in and Owen describing him as “a good mate” in his autobiography.
