  • Former Bayern Munich, Man Utd, and England midfielder Owen Hargreaves is the latest to step into the BT Sport changing room for a look back through the highs and lows of their career. From making a name for himself by marking Figo, to his injury struggles after initial success at Man Utd, Hargreaves' story is a fascinating one.

      I do not understand why supporters believed Hargreaves was not good enough for England. If he wasn’t a top class player, Bayern Munich would not have employed him and he wouldn’t have been part of a multi-trophy winning club.

      Hargreaves in that quarter final was an absolute beast. He remained a beast until his injury issues started not long into his Man United career. I have a feeling it was due to his bow-legged low centre of gravity that he was so quick to react and turn yet so prone to injury because I'm the same way

    Didn’t watch the full video. Did they show the different types of medical gowns he also wore during his career?

    Still remember that free kick against arsenal. One of the truly great players whose career was utterly destroyed by injuries

    Unreal player, think he was more of a German than English. But he was one of the best underrated midfielders to play for England. Shame he had alot of injuries that bogged him.
