Emile Heskey - 264.39 Performance Pts
Born: 11/01/1978 Leicester, England
Position: Forward Height: 1.88m Weight: 83kg
'Even
Heskey Scored' is the title of his autobiography, and it summed up the mood of
the nation regarding his goal, England's 5th, in the incredible 5-1 win against
Germany in 2001. The shock reaction indicates that Heskey wasn't always expected
to find the net for his country, and 7 goals in 62 international appearances
doesn't exactly scream 'prolific'. He started his career at his hometown club,
Leicester, and was part of the side that challenged for various cups under Martin
O'Neill in the late 90s, winning 2 League Cups before signing for Liverpool in
2000. His first full season at Anfield saw them win 3 trophies. He joined
Birmingham City in 2004 and also played at the top level for Wigan and Aston Villa. A strong, powerful
striker, he was appreciated by team-mates and managers, probably more than fans.
One of his middle names is Ivanhoe.
