Owen won five trophies in almost fifteen years as a player at Liverpool, including the FA Cup and UEFA Cup.
But the former England striker soured his relationship with the Reds by joining bitter rivals Manchester United in 2009.
Owen has since retired and now works as a TV pundit for BT Sport and occasionally BBC’s Match of the Day.
And the 36-year-old enjoyed a night off at Anfield this evening to take in Liverpool’s EFL Cup quarter-final clash with Leeds.
“A night off. No better place to be!” Owen posted in the stands just before kick-off.
But Owen’s message was met with more than a hint of sarcasm on Twitter.
Here are the best responses…
