what a shame for english football, he really know where the back of the goal (stand) was ;D
On a more serious note he was a good player back in the day but has now passed it and has been for a couple of years now

Good on him, time to give it up for the youngsters.
Now only if Terry, Lampard, Ferdinand, James, Barry etc would do the same and kindly fuck off.

Does that mean Alex Ferguson will lose interest in him now, considering he's the only English player that can play with Rooney?

Bit harsh to have a go at Heskey - he only played because he was picked by the manager. At least when he was called on, he always gave 100%.

& respect to him for that.
Not his fault.
He should be joined by some of the others - & before they are rightly pushed. |

Cheers Ivanhoe! As limited as you may have been in terms of quality (especially at finding the net) I don't think anyone can argue that you never tried your best whenever pulling on an england shirt, unlike many other counterparts.
I also think we shouldn't forget, when Heskey came back out of the international wilderness, he was the standout player for 3-4 games on the trot and was part of the catalyst that for a time looked as though we would really pull up tress in the upcoming world cup.....

Heskey always tried realy hard! # Its not about trying hard though for me fella its about providing and putting the ball in the back of the net something that sidibe struggles with sometimes.And thats putting the ball in the back of the net |

He tried hard, but God he was sh1t as a striker
Not his fault, I'd be exactly the same in his position.
I think it's probably a good move, but it's hard to hate someone who had an opportunity, did the best they could, but fell woefully short of the required standard
a bit like Cresswell in the Premiership really

Got no issues with Heskey. Often performed better for England than he did for his club and that's more than can be said for most of the useless pile of piss that is the rest of the squad.
Always kept his head down and worked hard and there's a certain admiration for any player who does that. For anyone calling him a useless wanker, I'd have no doubt you'd be a useless wanker given the chance to pull on an England shirt.

Spot on. Yes he was poor this world cup, but so were the rest of them. It's not his fault that the manager chose to put a villa reserve in the starting 11.
These fickle twats will have been cheering from the rooftops when he scuffed in number five against germany.

Who cares. Heskey was one of Englands best players in the USA game, then against Algeria he was absolutely woeful. Didn't play much after that so did no better or worse than any other player linked with the shower of shite.
My days are done where international football is concerned unless we start to play with passion, commitment and pride.
Watching England is like having tea round the in-laws house. You only do it because you have to and you'd much rather be doing something else, somewhere else with someone else.

For anyone calling him a useless wanker, I'd have no doubt you'd be a useless wanker given the chance to pull on an England shirt. Completely agree with this. Heskey's been perfectly fine for England, he was the only player to actually turn up at the World Cup as well, while we're at it. I don't like him as a player, he's always been a cheat, but he did his job. |
