Liverpool striker Michael Owen has become the first English player ever to be named 'World Player of the Year'.

Owen managed to come out ahead of the likes of Manchester United's David Beckham, Real Madrid's Raul and Roma's Francesco Totti to be named the world's best.

"Michael Owen, after his hat-trick in England's 5-1 victory over Germany in Munich, can now lay claim to the title of world's best player," said 'World Soccer' Editor Gavin Hamilton.

I think the opinions of an unbiased body hold more ground than a bunch of biased UTD fans

Are you going to class this as another trophy Pool fans, well it's probably more prestigious than the Worthless cup is it not?

You're already out of it so why worry about Feb? The title will have been all but decided between LFC and Arse by then.
