IMAGINE how Michael Owen will feel when he emerges from the players' tunnel at Anfield on Sunday and glances to his right towards the Kop. Until five years ago, he went up and down those same steps wearing the red of Liverpool, the darling of Anfield, a man with the world at his feet. But on Sunday, Owen returns wearing the black-and-white stripes of Newcastle, the Kop will afford him the same indifference his return has generated in recent seasons an! d, whether he likes it not, he will go there with his career in ruins.
