There were plenty of clues pointing to the character being former England and Liverpool star Owen – but many insisted they didn’t need any.

One wrote: “Just from the voice alone you can tell it’s Michael Owen” while another tweeted: “10000000% Michael Owen!”

But for those who do need convincing, there was a nod to Stoke, the city where he ended his Premier League career between 2012 and 13.

At one point there was a reference to “stoking a fire” another another to a gold shoe.

One fan wrote: “It is definitely Michael Owen (footballer, played for Stoke, won the golden boot).”

The Golden Boot is the prize awarded to a tournament’s top goalscorer and Owen won it twice.

Another viewer joked: “I am 100% certain Doughnuts is Michael Owen and he is putting more effort into it than he ever did while playing for Newcastle.”
