Manchester United striker, Michael Owen has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury. Owen, whose career has been dogged by injuries, pulled up whilst chasing down a long ball in the Carling Cup Final.
Here's the thing; the debate regarding Owen and a World Cup place with England is now, thankfully, put to rest. While we can now focus on selecting a fitter, quicker and porbably more effective striker, it saddens me that we wont see him in South Africa in June. One of English football's truly great goalscorers, he provided me with some of my best footballing memories from THAT goal against Argentina, to THAT night in Germany. Even his biggest critic cant deny it is sad news.
