Emile Heskey

Yeah.

First impressions, obviously, Philbert Street, Martin O'Neill, Emil Heskey, Muzzy Izzet, Ian Walker, and obviously the sort of underdog type thing that you had going on then, if I can say that without being disrespectful.

No,

no, no.

I felt like it probably felt deserved.

But like you said earlier, Heskey, if you watch it back and you're kind of like, but they didn't actually really create anything.

And...

But yeah, you know, doesn't matter.

Yeah, yeah.

It's a bit like the Heskey with the Emile.

Yes.

You've got a meal.

Yeah.

Going out for a Heskey, you've got a meal.

Yeah.

It's a double whammy.

And of course, O'Neill's side played to their strengths by, i- in an incredible fashion and in an incredible way, and to incredible extremes as well.

They really did, didn't they? And if they didn't have Heskey playing up front, then sometimes they might go, "Right, well, we- because we are a, a, a semi-limited side, we might push a Matt Elliott further forward," or you go back even further and it was a Steve Walsh.

You, again, you play to your strengths, and yes, he was locked into a certain formation which we should be playing now, that we've discussed already.

And then you go to Claudio, and of course he had the, the, the, the, the sense to stick with Nigel Pearson's side.

Going forwards... going back, I just don't understand.

And again, do you remember there's always been like England teams where random people have been in the team and we're like, why are you picking this bloke? We used to have England with Heskey.

We used to have England with Heskey and other bits and pieces.

I just don't understand how you

can pick him over Maycock and over McCoy's splat.

He is the one, though, isn't he? You're probably talking on paper one of the best players to ever play in the division, probably.

We had Ida Good-Johnson and Emile Heskey a few years ago, Liam.

How very dare you? Was that the

season of Shulam Yorbi and Heskey up front together? Was that that season?

that night

us and Liverpool were competing for Champions League finish I think it was top 3 back then we were both competing for Champions League finishes 1-1 Alan Armstrong I think Emil Heskey put them 1-0 up maybe and it was a Alan Armstrong Alan Armstrong equaliser in the second half in front of the South Stand.

The last win for Town at Portman Road against Liverpool.

Obviously, we won a couple of times at Anfield with 95 and 2000, the War of 30 later in the season.

And I was actually centre-forward in this game.

And Emile Heskey's on the bench.

As the backup striker, we had Richard Wright in goal, and he had a decent career.

I think he's still going, is he? Is he still hanging on at Man City for their medals, is he? And we got knocked out of that, there was a massive blow for him, we got knocked out of the course, he was on penalties, and it was just like, that's the end for me, I'm done.
