A former England footballer looked completely unrecognisable as he dressed up as Hulk Hagan while celebrating his youngest daughter’s 18th birthday on Saturday.
The ex athlete played as a striker for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Stoke City, as well as the England national team.
The footballer retired in 2013 and has since been involved in horse racing as a breeder and owner and has worked as a sports pundit and commentator.
He married his childhood sweetheart in 2005 and has since welcomed three children.
In the summer of 2022, his oldest daughter made headlines as she starred on Love Island and came runner-up.
The sportsman collaborated with his son, who has a degenerative eye condition called Stargardt disease, on a documentary, Football is for Everyone to raise awareness about sight loss.
But now the father-of-three looked worlds away from his self as he threw his youngest child an extravagant fancy dress 18th birthday party.

It’s Michael Owen!
The England footballer went all out while celebrating his daughter Emily’s landmark birthday as he dressed up as the American professional wrestler Hulk Hagan.
He looked worlds away from his usual smart attire in the costume which was complete with a blonde wig and moustache.
Michael was joined by his glamorous wife Louise and his three children Gemma, 22, James, 19, and Emily.
Love Island star Gemma looked nothing short of sensational dressed as a flapper girl in a metallic figure hugging dress.
The ITV star upped her glamour wearing a pair of long black satin gloves, layered a number of pearl necklaces and wore a rhinestone headband.
She flashed her gorgeous smile as she posed with her mum Louise, who stunned as Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
The mother-of-three wowed in a simple but elegant black dress which she teamed with sunglasses, black long gloves and pearl necklaces.

Elsewhere James was spotted dress as a jockey while birthday girl Emily stole the show as Marilyn Monroe as she slipped into a white halterneck dress and blonde curled wig.
The teenager was all smiles as she posed with her friends and family at the bash.
Sharing a glimpse of the lavish bash to Instagram, Gemma wrote: ‘Friday night in fancy dress for Emily’s 18th’.
The family party comes after it was revealed in February that Gemma has been setting up her own home since moving out of her family’s £4million mansion.
In a string of Instagram posts, Gemma revealed her bedroom and kitchen have been transformed, with a muted new décor.
One video showed the before and after of her newly-renovated kitchen which is packed with grey appliances, and gold accents and fixtures.
Her living room and bedroom continued with the all-grey theme, including metallic blinds, cabinets and matching satin pillows.
However, Gemma faced backlash from some users online, after revealing that the renovation was part of a collaboration with a well-known design company, meaning it’s likely she didn’t pay a penny for the work.
In exchange, Gemma promoted the company on her Instagram page, writing: ‘Cottage kitchen reno…

‘I’m so in love with my kitchen transformation by the incredible team at @prestigedesignyorkshire who have shared my excitement for the project throughout. I’m so happy with the glow up, it’s everything that I wanted & more. @prestigedesignyorkshire.’
Gemma, who rose to fame on Love Island also shared videos of her new bedroom, while gushing over the luxurious new blinds and curtains she received from Dutch Limes Oak flooring.
The clip revealed the star’s enormous bed, alongside a sleek, white built-in wardrobe.
Prior to moving into her cottage, Gemma had been living with her parents at their £4 million mansion in the Welsh countryside.
Ahead of her first stint on the show she admitted that her England legend father ‘wasn’t happy’ about her signing up but he trusted her not to ’embarrass’ him.
The swimwear brand owner told Daily Mail at the time that Michael resisted having a ‘tantrum’ after learning she will be on the dating show, and eventually gave his blessing, saying: ‘I’m not going to tell you what to do.’
She said: ‘I still wouldn’t say that my dad is buzzing about me doing Love Island.
‘He’s very supportive in whatever I decide to do. He didn’t have a massive tantrum or anything like that.
‘He was pretty chilled, he trusts me not to do anything to embarrass him. He took it quite well.
‘He didn’t say I couldn’t do this or give me any dos or don’ts. He said I’m not going to tell you what to do, I trust you, you have never given us a reason not to trust you, go for it but I will always have my family’s thoughts and opinions in the forefront of my mind because we are all super close and they are the most important people to me.’
