Other news:

Juan Sebastian Verón is added to the site for the first time (See below).

Rich List

The only footballer to make the 2003 Sunday Times Rich List is David Beckham - listed with his wife, Posh Spice, Victoria. With an estimated 50 million pounds to his name this placed Becks as high as 5th in the list of the top 100 under 30 year olds.

The alternative list of younger people also included two Bob 70-71 Next Generation Stars. Michael Owen (see below) with 18 million pounds was placed at equal 16th, and Juan Verón (see below) with 10 million is at equal 31.

Michael has increased his wealth from 12 million pounds last year due to Sponsorship deals, and has a company, Owen Promotions with net assets of 2 million pounds. Juan Verón is up from 8 million pounds last year, he earned a 4 million pound signing on fee from his move to Man U from Lazio.

Becks headed a further list of the ten wealthiest young (under 30) sportsmen, which had Michael at number 3 (Naseem Hamed was at number two), and Juan at equal 8th.

Angela Saunders is set to join the Next Generation page as the daughter-in-law of Ray Clemence (Liverpool). Angela is the actress who plays Tash Parker, an ex-model married to a footballer in the Sky TV programme, 'Dream Team'. She is 25 years old and plans to marry Stephen Clemence in May.

Dream Team is on SkyOne 8pm on Sundays, and is currently featured in the May 3003 'Sky:the Magazine' sent to Sky subscribers.

Gabby Logan - daughter of Terry Yorath (Leeds United) - was listed as one the Daily Mail's 100 most Influential Women in Britain on 31 March 2003. And though I can't confirm this, I believe I saw Gabby's picture as part of this year's poster campaign for book week, too.

Martin Allen - son of Dennis Allen (Bournemouth) - Thanks very much to Tony Hammond, who informs me that since Peter Shreeves left Conference side, Barnet in March 2003, Martin has moved up from first team coach to caretaker manager till the end of the season. This site last caught up with Martin as as the first team coach at Reading.

Relation: Father - Terry Owen (Bradford City)

Present Club (click for website): Liverpool fc

Season: League played 29 scored 13, European Cup played 6 scored 4, UEFA Cup played 6 scored 3, FA Cup played 2 scored 0, League Cup played 4 scored 2, FA Community Shield played 1 scored 0, England - Friendly played 2 scored 0 and European Championship played 3 scored 2.

1 March 2003 (edition) Featured on the front cover of Match for what is now a rare occasion. He is pictured with David Beckham, with the title 'Showdown' referring to the up-coming League Cup Final between Liverpool and Manchester United.

2 March 2003 Michael is a member of the League Cup winning side, as Liverpool beat Manchester United 2-0 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. To add to the achievement, Michael also scored the second goal in the 86th minute.

This will go some way towards making up for being named to sit on the bench but not playing in the 2001 League Cup victory for Liverpool versus Birmingham City.

Michael honours now read:
FA Cup Winner in 2001 (scored 2 in Final),
League Cup winner 2002 (scored 1 in Final)
UEFA Cup winner in 2001,
Super Cup winner 2001 (scored 1 in Final)
FA Community Shield 2001 (scored 1).

Pretty impressive I would say.

March 2003: England launch yet another new shirt with Michael Owen being the leading England star that heads the campaign. The first match in the new shirt is the Euro 2004 qualifier v Lietchenstein.

29 March 2003 Michael plays for England in the Euro 2004 away match in Lietchenstein. Michael plays the whole 90 minutes and scores in the 2-0 victory.

This was Michael's 46th cap in his sixth season in the England team. He now has 20 goals, which is the 17th best of all time, see England Goalscorers for the Top Twenty.

29 March 2003 (edition) of Match magazine has Michael as the main star on its cover. A goal celebrating Michael is pictured, in the red England kit with a baloon from his mouth saying,' Hands up if da opposition is a bunch of Turkeys!'. A comment I very much doubt has passed Michael's highly diplomatic lips, nor one that help our Nation's youth to be tolerant of our international neighbours, but still. The picture is being used to promote a Euro 2004 magazine special.

31 March 2003: At the end of the month, Michael's 24 goals this season is the equal third highest for a Premiership player in all competitions, and with 13 Premiership goals he is the 5th highest in the League.

2 April 2003 Michael plays the home tie for England v Turkey in the Euro 2004 qualifier. The press had given England a hard time for winning just 2-0 against Lietchenstein, and feared what Turkey might do, as they were placed higher in the World rankings.

Hence, the comfortable-ish 2-0 victory set the country alight again, and was hailed as the best win for the national side since the World Cup victory versus Denmark.

The game belonged to Wayne Rooney, who is the brightest England 17 year old since...well Michael Owen.

Michael left the pitch for Darius Vassell, when it was still 0-0 in the 58th minute, and it was Darius who scored the second of the goals.

Michael has now been capped 47 times.

26 April 2003: Liverpool thrash West Bromwich Albion 6-0 away from home in the Premiership, and Michael gets scores 4 ! This is Michaels's third hatrichk this season the last two being on 28 September 2002 v Man City in the Premeiership, and on 2 Octoberr 2002 v Spartak Moscow in the Champions League..

You have to go back to 24 October 1998 for the only other time Michael has scored four in a top class game. It was v Nottingham Forest in the Premiership in a 5-1 home victory for Liverpool.

This is Michaels's 11th hatrick and the first time he has scored three in a season. It means he moves up to 3rd in the Leading Premiership scorers list with 30 in all competitions. He is 4th highest scorer of Premiership goals this season with 19.

The 2nd of the goals was his 100th in the Premiership. Robbie Fowler has scored Liverpool's most Premiership goals with 120, and Roger Hunt (Bolton Wanderers) has Liverpool's League goals record with 245.

27 April 2003 Michael is listed in the young person's Rich List , see above.

May 2003 edition: The May 2003 (Number105) edition of FourFourTwo magazine includes a picture of Michael on the front cover in the red England shirt. His the largest picture of a dozen players promoting the article asking, 'who is the best striker in the world today?', though in the event he wasn't in the Top 10 listed.

The edition also includes a full page advert of Michael in the new England kit advertising www.kitbag.com , as well as, a full page picture of Michael opening Champagne as winner of this season's Worthington (League) Cup

29 March 2003: Paul is an unlikely part of the heroic Welsh side that beat Azerbaijan side 4-0 to help the country lead the Euro 2004 qualifiying Group 9 with maximum points.

It was already 3-0 when he came on for the second half. This is the 9th cap for Paul, who plays his League matches for a struggling Division Two side.

This is Paul's 3rd cap as a Northampton Town player, but he has some way to go to overhaul the Northampton club record holder, E.Lloyd Davies. Davies was capped 12 times for Wales whilst at the club between 1908 and 1914, plus a further 4 times when he was at Stoke in 1904.

May 2003 (edition) The cover to Shoot Monthly is a gatefold special with David Beckham on the front posing in a cowboy/Man U outfit in the latest Pepsi advertising campaign.

The cover, which even has bullet holes cut into it, opens up like a saloon door to feature Becks and 4 more Man U stars under the heading 'Most Wanted', and including Juan.

The Pepsi campaign, which imagine cost more money than it takes to run a small country, centres round Becks and his Man U posse. The TV advert, which Juan is in too, has a shoot out with stars from Real Madrid headed by Roberto Carlos. T

The actual cans for sale definately have pictures of either Beckham or Carlos on, but I don't believe the other players are featured.
