Owen was fast tracked into the England senior squad following his prolific goalscoring rate in the youth teams.

The Liverpool forward made his Three Lions debut during a 2-0 defeat to the hands of Chile on February 11, 1998.

This made Owen the youngest player to represent his country at 18 years and 59 days old.

Nowadays, Arsenal winger Theo Walcott holds the record after making his England debut at 17 years and 75 days old back in May 2006.
