Michael Owen appears in an entertainment-style segment where he makes a lighthearted joke involving Wayne Rooney. When asked to choose between Owen, Gary Lineker, and Alan Shearer in a game format, Owen responds with playful comments, including saying he would “marry” Wayne Rooney.
According to the reporting, Owen also adds that such a scenario would end in divorce, attributing the outcome to “too much alcohol.” The articles present the exchange as humorous and do not indicate any further dispute or related developments beyond the on-screen interaction.
Both sources describe the same moment and the same wording around the joke, with no additional context about why the “choose” game is being played or whether it is part of a specific program or event. The coverage focuses on the athlete’s offhand, comedic remarks rather than sporting or personal developments.
