ENGLAND soccer hero Michael Owen has been passing on the art of goal-scoring to two County Durham hopefuls this week.
Scott Young and Sam Johnson got their chance to train with Owen after entering a competition run by new breakfast cereal Sporties.
The Chester-le-Street lads were impressed with football's man-of-the-moment.
Scott said: "Michael taught us lots of footballing tricks and we even got to ask him questions, get his autograph and have our picture taken - it was fantastic."
Owen said: "It is great to meet young budding footballers and give them advice - I feel like I'm putting something back.
