Michael Owen spoke at the Leaders in Football conference today, and he spoke candidly about diving in football. While he predictably blamed Johnny Foreigner for all the simulation in the Premier League, he also admitted he had a “history”:
@themichaelowen concedes he could have stayed on his feet twice when given pens v Argentina (98-02). No simulation in that answer

Refreshing honesty from Michael Owen talking about diving at @lifootball – admits he often won penalties but could have stayed on his feet

The 1998 penalty above, 2002 below.
Handle that, Maradona!
Michael Owen is the sole reason i fell in love with football and LFC . Since he left for Real he has just become another wash out , great talent no brains
but, but diving is for foreigners.
