Michael Owen joked he would marry Wayne Rooney – but it would end in divorce due to 'too much alcohol'.
The football legend, 46, appeared on Jamie Laing's Great Company podcast where he was asked out of Wayne, 40, Gary Lineker, 65, and Alan Shearer, 56, who he would s**g, marry, or avoid.
The fun game saw Michael have to pick between the three strikers, with the sportsman joking he wouldn't want to get into bed with Wayne because 'he's a bit too hairy'.
Explaining his reasoning for Wayne being the one he would marry, he said: 'I'll marry Waza. I certainly won't want to s**g him. Bit too hairy for me. He's so funny. He is such a good laugh.
'I don't think it would go too well. I think we would break up. A bit too much alcohol I think.'
Wayne has previously been open about his struggles with alcohol over the years.

Michael then confirmed he would s**g Lineker and avoid Shearer.
'Three good strikers though. It's not a nice question, is it? I'm not bothered about the avoid anything. I'm just picturing the s******g bit.'
All the players have boasted legendary football careers.
Michael scored 150 Premier League goals and 40 goals for England and played for historic clubs like Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Wayne is Manchester United’s all-time leading goal scorer with 253 goals.
Shearer, meanwhile, is widely celebrated as the all-time top goal scorer in Premier League history with 260 goals. Since retiring from the pitch in 2006, he has become a sports pundit.
Former Leicester City player Lineker never received a single yellow or red card throughout his entire 16-year playing career.
Since his retirement he has had a hugely successful career on television and presented Match Of The Day for 26 years.

Elsewhere in the interview, Michael confessed he's 'never told his children he loves them' as he offered insight into his struggles with sharing his emotions.
The former England star has shared a glimpse into his life as a father-of-four in his new fly-on-the-wall docuseries, and he's now admitted he's far from the type of parent to dish out 'soft love' to his family.
Meet The Owens follows a year in the life of Michael, wife Louise, and their children Gemma, James, Emily and Jessica, as they juggle a horse racing business and chaotic home life.
Michael has now revealed that while his four children are 'the dearest things to him', he isn't one to gush about them.
He said: 'I never ever tell my kids I love them. I don't say anything like that.
'I just assume my actions would show them that I love them. It's a bad thing. I think most of us are like that.'
Jamie chimed in with: 'It's not a good thing. It's not healthy,' before Michael added: 'But if you say it all the time, does it mean anything?
'Kissing your kid, sending them to school, no matter what they do you just keep saying well done, and if they do rubbish, [saying] 'Oh, you're trying awfully hard.' No, I like tough love.
'I'm not trying to condone it, because I would love to be a bit soft.
'I think it comes with age as well, you get better when you're old, you've got time to think a bit more and you realise the true meaning of things.
'I'm definitely getting softer, but still not soft enough to say something like that.'
