“Hello. I’m Michael Owen. You might know me from football. What you don’t know is my eyeballs have the concentrated power of fourteen bulldozers. In between games of footie, I’m blast-gazing my way into bank vaults and fighting the X-Men.
\nThought you’d like to know.”<\/i><\/p>\n

For the longest time I thought this was a snooker game. I interpreted a big chunk of the black space as a black jacket, and the white bit, his uniform, as a dress shirt; y’know, like a really poncey snooker player. I must have the strangest eyes, though not as scary as Owen’s.
\nIt’s bad enough having this as a full-page spread, but it seemed to be a popular prize in the letters pages. You wouldn’t just be seeing his bloody face staring at you next to some kid’s grand idea for a Goldeneye<\/i> sequel – you’d be seeing lots<\/b> of faces.
