Michael Owen trapped overnight after tree falls across road as Storm Arwen causes chaos across Britain
MICHAEL OWEN was left STUCK at home as Storm Arwen tore across Britain.
The 41-year-old ex-England striker was unable to leave his property on Friday night after a huge tree fell across the road, completely blocking access.
Thankfully for Owen a team of people arrived in the morning to clear the damage left by the storm.
The retired striker stated “Looks like I won’t be going anywhere for a while” late last night.
Fortunately, Michael was rescued on Saturday morning, with him tweeting: “We are free. What a team” accompanied by pictured of workers chopping the tree into bits.
Of course – Twitter users had some fun with Owen’s fallen-tree dilemma.
One said: “It didn’t fall down. It listened to some of your commentary and laid down for a sleep.”
A barrage of tweets followed the photo updates – in the style of Owen’s commentary.
