Umbro athlete, Manchester United and now occassional England striker Michael Owen turned 30 in December 2009. To belatedly commemorate the occasion, Umbro have produced a pair of Speciali football boots from Umbro featuring an image of his favourite horse on the soleplate.
Owen, an avid racehorse fan and owner, had mentioned to Umbro that he would love to have a pair of boots featuring the horse. The horse in question is also named Speciali.
