We're now approaching the start of England's road to Germany 2006 and the trip to Austria on Saturday is followed by next Wednesday's match in Poland.

To commemorate England's return to competitive action - and also the third anniversary of Michael's hat-trick against Germany, we teamed up with CollinsWillow, publishers of his autobiography, to offer you the chance to win a signed Michael Owen England shirt and a copy of Off The Record also signed by the striker.

We asked you the question: Against which team did Michael Owen score his first England senior team goal?

Of course the answer was Morocco.

It was only Michael's fourth game for the Three Lions in the friendly King Hussan II Cup match in Casablanca on 27 May 1998 .

The former Liverpool striker came off the bench and slotted home the winner - aged just 18.


Hundreds of you were, like Michael, spot on and had the right answer. We've selected five names at random to win the prizes, the first will receive the signed shirt and a book, while four runners-up will all receive a book.

Stay logged on to TheFA.com for more competitions and games and don't forget to follow England in Austria and Poland over the next few days.
