He is the ex-footballer who scored 40 England goals and lit-up the Premier League and La Liga with his electrifying pace and sensational shooting.
But now former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker Michael Owen will be entertaining indoor audience at Guildhall Winchester as part of a special charity function on December 13.
He is perhaps most famous for scoring a magical solo goal for England in the 1998 World Cup last 16 against Argentina when he was just 18, and he went on to score more than 150 goals for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Manchester United and Stoke City before retiring in 2013.
In 2001 his talent saw him being awarded the Ballon d’Or in 2001, which is a special accolade given to the best footballer in Europe.
Ticket holders get the opportunity to have dinner with the 39-year-old former England goalscorer and have the opportunity to ask him questions about his career.
