Leslie Terence Owen (born 11 September 1949) is an English former footballer who played as a striker. He is the father of former England international striker Michael Owen.
He began his career at Everton, before signing with Bradford City in June 1970. He was sold on to Chester in June 1972 for a fee of £1,000, and helped the club to promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1974–75, as well as a semi-final appearance in the League Cup and a Fifth Round appearance in the FA Cup. He joined Rochdale via Cambridge United in 1977, before moving on to Port Vale in 1979. The next year he entered the non-league scene with Northwich Victoria, Oswestry Town, Colwyn Bay, Caernarfon Town, and Prestatyn Town.
Owen came through the ranks with Everton under Harry Catterick, and made two First Division appearances for the "Toffees" in the 1967–68 season. However he failed to add to his league appearances at Goodison Park, and moved to Bradford City in June 1970. Jimmy Wheeler's "Bantams" finished just two places and one point above the Third Division relegation zone in 1970–71, but were relegated to the Fourth Division after finishing in last place in 1971–72 under new boss Bryan Edwards. Owen scored six goals in 47 league appearances for Bradford, and was sold to Chester in June 1972 for a fee of £1,000.
