Walkers!
During my first year at Fairly Well Known High School In Liverpool (1999) we had a full school assembly.

The headmaster stood up in front of us to tell us that the school field would be out of bounds for a few days, and no students were to approach it. This was due to an advert being filmed for "Cheese and Owen" crisps. (The rugby one)

During breaks from filming, Michael Owen kept coming out to chat to the lads, would happily sign autographs, etc, genuinely friendly guy.

The week before, he'd made an absolutely shocking miss, when he tried to turn his body so he could hit the ball normally, when he should have used the outside of his boot.

My brother decides to tell him this. I think most footballers would have told the spotty little shit to piss off. Michael laughed, nodded and said he'd keep it in mind.

A week later, the same position comes round again, he uses the outside of his boot, and curls it round the keeper beautifully.

My brother still claims it's down to him. Fucktard.

Length? Not certain, he kept his clothes on

Apparently he's a really nice fella -
Now I'd like to see your brother give the same advice to Vinny Jones, Robbie Savage, or Dennis Wise - apparently hospital food is ok, though...

True.
Then again, some players that are cocks on the pitch, are meant to be really nice in real life.

Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are two examples of that.

Paul Scoles
Years ago when I was a student he tried it on with a mate of mine. She turned round to him and said: "Just fuck off, you ginger twat."

And he did.

Fair play, though - if he'd have asked me to go back to his for some ginger-related-humping I would probably have said yes.

I mean, he was a fucking great midfielder for England...

..
Never had the passion for England though, that was my problem with him.

Unfortunately, no fucker does anymore.

Hold on a second here...
...your brother told Owen to use the outside of his boot and then during the next game Owen took the said advice and scored.

hmmmm

Yep...
Although it's more than likely than Owen simply learned from his mistake, not from some spotty little wanker.
