​It’s hard to decide if one should be envious of Michael Owen in 2016. On the face of it, he is a man who has scaled at least two professions - playing football and witnessing it - to somewhere near their summits. He has an emotional and financial stake in things that are undeniably premium and yet still quite dull: Range Rovers, owning racehorses, whisky. Going to Dubai out of choice.

Should your life not have been enriched by Michael Owen’s virtual helicopter tour of Dubai, it’s almost certainly worth 10 minutes of your time. Not just because he makes it sound like an Emirates-funded reboot of Thomas the Tank Engine but also because it is the clearest window into the soul - the approachable yet beige soul - of Michael Owen.
