Not at all, Owen was terrorising and ripping apart defences in the best league in the World at 17, what league was Pele playing in at that age? Ok he happened to be in a World cup winning team at 17 (and played his part), but individually on a weekly basis, he wasn't doing what Owen was.

Owen's was 18 when he got to play in the World cup and showed the World what he's all about, getting in to the team of the tournament.

I understand your shock at me comparing Owen to the great Pele, but don't underestimate how good Owen was in his early career.
