Thankfully for Owen a team of people arrived in the morning to clear the damage left by the storm.
The retired striker stated “Looks like I won’t be going anywhere for a while” late last night.
Fortunately, Michael was rescued on Saturday morning, with him tweeting: “We are free. What a team” accompanied by pictured of workers chopping the tree into bits.
Of course – Twitter users had some fun with Owen’s fallen-tree dilemma.
One said: “It didn’t fall down. It listened to some of your commentary and laid down for a sleep.”
A barrage of tweets followed the photo updates – in the style of Owen’s commentary.
They read: “If I was to analyse the situation in the style of you Michael, I’d say that a tree has fallen down and blocked the lane.”
Another joked: “Fair to say that the lane is being blocked. By a tree.”
A third said: “The lane should do better on this occasion. You just can’t give that amount of space to a tree.”
STORM CHAOS
Storm Arwen has wrecked havoc across the country and has tragically taken three lives.
