Michael Owen has opened up on his time with Newcastle United in his explosive new book, taking aim at club icon Alan Shearer, revealing his true feelings about the fans and admitting he never wanted to move to Tyneside.
Those comments from the club's former record signing have certainly caused a stir among supporters, with the former striker's name trending across Twitter on Tuesday morning after the comments were published.
Unsurprisingly, the faithful Newcastle supporters were far from pleased with what he had to say about his time at St James' Park and did not waste any time hitting back.
Formerly of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United, Owen represented some of the biggest clubs in the world but is not remembered fondly at Newcastle.
A series of poor performances, injury issues and his comments have definitely not done anything to ease the minds of supporters, who were understandably furious with some of his revelations.
Michael Owen: Reboot – My Life, My Time, published by Reach Sport, is on sale Thursday, September 5 in hardback, ebook and audiobook. www.reachsportshop.com or https://reachsportshop.com/book/michael-owen-reboot/
