  BBC SPORT | SPORTS TALK | Owen right choice as skipper?
Owen is far too young to captain his nation; he has neither the experience nor leadership skills, and would find it hard motivating the team.
Owen is respected by his fellow professionals and England fans alike and his performance against Germany is the major reason we are going to the World Cup.
Owen has the confidence and enthusiasm to be an England captain of the future, but I think he lacks a little experience and does not seem to be at the top of his game right now.

 England Match No. 782 - Germany - 1 September 2001 - Match Summary and Report
Emile Heskey and Michael Owen are clearly the preferred choice in the dual striking roles and only the left side of midfield still has an air of vacant possession about it with Nick Barmby being the guest performer on this occasion.
Despite a smart clearance from David Seaman at the feet of Rehme, German pressure mostly amounted to very little and with 15 minutes remaining a penetrative Beckham through-ball to Paul Scholes, followed by an accurate and inviting cross to Emile Heskey's feet was dispatched in clinical fashion past a shell-shocked Kahn for a 5-1 lead.
Owen Hargreaves, in a return to his home ground, replaced the dynamic Gerrard and along with bit parts for Steve McManaman (replacing Barmby) and Jamie Carragher (for Scholes) there was not enough time for any of them to make any real impact.

After 83 minutes Owen pounced acrobatically to crack a loose ball in the penalty area into the net with his right foot for Liverpool's equalizer.
Owen's belated intervention not only won the FA Cup for Liverpool for the first time since 1992, it also restored some long overdue romance to an occasion which had started to become a little bit predictable.
Above all, Owen's out-of-nowhere double was decisive proof, as Houllier eventually concluded, that there is no substitute for a proven matchwinner.

Owen's time at Craiglockhart was instrumental in his development as a poet for it was here that he met Seigried Sassoon who was already established as a poet and who encouraged his writing.
The poem obviously gave Owen considerable difficulty and it is interesting, if you look closely at the final manuscript (A), that there are final changes being made--but we cannot be certain how to interpret some of these since the alterations are not always clear.
Owen is regarded as a craftsman with language, continuously refining words, images and sound effects.

 History
Both the phenomena and the teachings attracted the attention of eminent scientists and intellectuals in America and (from 1852) Britain, to which Spiritualism was brought by Mrs Hayden, who was both persecuted and insulted by the press and the pulpit.
In spite of this her mediumship was defended by many public figures, including Robert Owen, Socialist and one of the founders of the Co-operative Movement, who embraced Spiritualism after sittings with her, and many adherents were attracted to the cause.
In the early days of the movement the most important necessity had been the complete freedom to develop and promote through multiple channels of communication the reception of the new spiritual inspiration without recourse to the establishment of a central organisation or administration.
