just like to congratulate Boots n'All on the Richard Owen item - it said a lot about him and Cas

it's easy to forget how far he's come from last years terrible injury

well done mate and good luck for the future

(from a Saints fan btw)

Missed it. When is boots n all repeated?

Is he the lad who keeps the pigeons? That has to be the funniest Boots n All feature of all time.

chickens actually mate

nothing wrong with chickens. fine animals, mine keep me comfortably stocked with yummy eggs

good to see him back with us also, i remember that game, against bradford wasnt it? you know its bad when a pro rugby league player is screaming. hopefully hell be back up to form sooner rather than later.

I could have sworn it was pigeons. Are you sure?

well,they were fluffy looking things in a cage in the back garden and they sure looked like chickens to me !

Was that tonights feature or the one from a couple of years ago? I'll be disappointed if it was the latter

New Interview with some old footage of when he was injured.

Great Lad, I suspect he'll pay back all the faith and care Cas placed in him.

He was over the moon when he scored Friday night at the KC, and so were we....

Well said. He looked very strong in the U20s Vs Bradford and lasted the distance against Hull. It's looking good for him at last!

I am made up for the lad he is back playing the sport he loves.
Before he got injured he was a potential future international player with a lot of promise,let's hope he fulfills his dreams.

it's great credit to Cas for sticking by him and giving him a new contract and not buying in

Good look to him. Good to see him come back from a very bad injury. On the matter of Pigeons. I am sure that he has racing pigeons.

ok,ok ! I give in !!! he has pigeons - but he definitely had chickens in the garden ....

I have now watched books and all and CAN confirm there are chickens in the garden!!!!!!!!!!!!

also from the interview good to see players from all other clubs getting intouch with him and keeping him going. sounded horrific when he was describing injury

Sounds like a well grounded lad and I hope he can fulfill his potential that he was showing before the injury and it doesn't set him back too much.

Fair play to Cas too on offering him a contract when he was still in hospital, must have really spurred him on knowing his club and coaches believed in him to recover.

Spot on, also must have taken away a lot of worry that he might have had about income should he not recover quickly. Can't be nice to not only have a career threatening injury but to also think about losing a house or something if you can't pay your bills.

Maybe he keeps homing chickens? Had a definite look of Light Sussex X Rhode Islands to me, though I'm no connoisseur of pig....sorry chickens.

Best of luck to him, btw. I hope his comeback goes well.

I do believe he has Chickens (as sky showed), pigeons and Ferrets.

Hasn't everybody?

What! No bloody whippets?

Can we PLEASE stop going on about chickens,pigeons,pigs & whippets and any other creature other than Richard Owen who was the whole point of my bloody topic in the first place ?

anyway FWIW,they looked like 'Derbyshire Redcaps' to me ......

Good on Chev Walker for encouraging Richard Owen during his recovery.

Hope Richard gets plenty of injury free years now, he deserves it.

i believe he keeps lurchers



great to see richie back on the field and im sure he will make a sucsess of himself,richie is a real family lad and has cas fans will tell you he goes to the stand after every game to see his mum and girlfriend and im sure at the kc last friday their will have been one or two tears shed.
