Former Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle striker, Michael Owen has revealed that his 13 year old son, James Owen, will never be a footballer because he suffers from a degenerative eye condition.

Owen, who has three daughters with his wife Louise, talked about his son’s condition for the first time on The Times.

”He will never be a footballer. My son’s got an eye condition,’ he told. ‘I’ve never said this. I don’t want a big headline.

‘Clinically, he’s blind. He’s got Stargardt disease, a degeneration of his retina. I used to go and watch him and bollock him about his positioning.

‘He can’t see the ball until it’s five yards away. As much as every father wants their son to play, it is almost a relief to me.

‘Everyone always asks, “Is he going to be a footballer” and then I stand on the side of the pitch and hear, ‘He’s not as good as his dad.’
