Sir_Liam Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 As someone who had the pleasure of regularly watching a teenage Heskey, I'd say you've potentially got a very promising player, providing you can protect him from over the top, fairly often unjustified, criticism.

Spot on Sir. Perhaps not the best finisher but a handful for the even the best on his day. I too watched him at City and he remains a favorite to this day. Before losing his pace was also an option on the left wing and was a bully when the confidence flowed. I'd say if you think you know better than some of the managers who have rated him then you should step away from the keyboard and get some fresh air as you've been playing too much FM. Finally you give the player a nickname "BRUNO" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnjo Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yeah, not that funny to start with. You play as this character and breed heirs etc. Occasionly you get the option to have an affair which results in an 'illegitamate child' to put it nicely.

Johnjo Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Has he even been playing? Would work alright holding the ball up for sturidge or wellbeck. Not like he scores any less than andy carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need somebody to give them a pick me up. Id even play him DM against Spain, imagine the look on Xavi's face when he's expecting Scott Parker and see's the beast that is Emile lining up against him, would be a no contest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Things Could Get Messi Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I also remember Heskey playing for Leicester as I used to pop down to Filbert Street now and again. Martin O'Neill got the best out of him as a young player thus he got an 11m move to Liverpool. Sadly he lost pace and confidence over time but could of been a good player if he had been given the right direction. Other thing I will say is he might never score but there isn't many strikers in the PL who work harder for their team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goalscoring record wasn't great at Leicester before the days when he unfairly became a scapegoat for England. Despite that he was an effective player though, and will always be a legend here.
