Owen stunned England’s rivals Germany with a sublime hat-trick in Munich on September 1, 2001, inspiring one of the Three Lions’ most historical results to date in a FIFA World Cup qualifier.

Having lost just one World Cup qualifier at home in their entire history, the hosts simply couldn’t handle the Liverpool legend as Owen’s treble, plus strikes from Steven Gerrard and Emile Heskey, sealed a remarkable night for Sven Goran Eriksson’s England, after Carsten Jancker had fired Germany in front after just six minutes.
