Kevin Keegan: "It does not matter who Michael Owen is playing for, he will always score goals.
"It amazes me how people want to keep trying to knock him.
"Look at his goal record. At Liverpool it was unbelievable, at Real Madrid it was unbelievable, with England it's unbelievable, and here again - it's unbelievable.
"Yet people still knock him.
"But Michael is not the sort to feel sorry for himself and just keep going.
"That is why he is a great captain for this club because you need someone who is bulletproof, and Michael Owen is certainly bulletproof."
