The record-breaking striker is a keen supporter of The Football Pools, as one of three new members on the Pools Panel. He expressed he's looking forward to helping fans use their passion for the game to become Pools prize winners.
“The Football Pools is an institution in this country that generations have grown up with,” Owen said. “It’s an incredible achievement to be reaching its 100th season and by giving away these 10,000 games, hopefully it will be an opportunity for lots of people to play for free and make it a really memorable one. We might even get players who win life-changing prizes which would be amazing.”
CEO of The Football Pools Derek Lloyd added: “We know how much people love the Pools, matchdays wouldn’t be the same without it for lots of players and families, so as we go into what is a landmark year for our company, we want them to have this game on us – and we hope to be handing over some of our famous Pools cheques to them soon!”
The Football Pools was born back in 1923 in a small office in Liverpool and was previously known as Littlewoods Football Pool. Three friends each invested £50 of their own money and distributed their first coupons outside Manchester United’s Old Trafford ground.
For decades, proceeds from the Pools has put millions of pounds into football at all levels and helped improve the safety of football grounds via the Football Trust.
