Michael Owen picks Alan Shearer to start up front in England XI since his debut... despite simmering feud over revelations in former Liverpool man's book last year

Michael Owen picked Alan Shearer ahead of himself in his all-time England XI since his debut, despite having a feud with his former Newcastle team-mate.

The two strikers' differences were shot into the spotlight last year when Owen released his autobiography, in which he had a pop at the former Newcastle striker and legend.

Owen suggested that the Premier League's all-time top goalscorer was not as loyal to Newcastle as many would believe.
