Goalkeeper Jamie Hutchinson, 13 at the time, took on Owen and tried to stop some of the then Liverpool striker's shots.

Owen showed no mercy for the teen, and powered shots into the back of the net.

The future Ballon d'Or winner celebrated with "get in there", prompting ex-Wales international Neville to say "well done, he's only 13".

Not responding to Southall's comeback, Owen finished with "game, set and match Owen".

Southall's iconic slap down of Owen went viral and can often be found on social media from time-to-time.

And Southall has since reunited with Hutchinson 23 years on.

Hutchinson, now 36, looks completely unrecognisable from his youth, ditching the ginger hair for a bald look.

And fans are pleased to see Hutchinson.

One replied to Southall's tweet, saying: "Any chance of a reunion with Michael too?"
