Owen scored on his Liverpool debut against Wimbledon at Selhurst Park, although The Reds lost 2-1 thanks to goals from Jason Euell and Dean Holdsworth.

Now, scoring on your first appearance is supposed to be memorable, but unfortunately for the youngster, the defeat handed Manchester United the Premier League title after their failure to beat Wimbledon in their penultimate 1996-97 league fixture.
