That Russia qualifier under McLaren where he netted his last two, even, I was convinced he was unstoppable. Fabio knew he was knackered though. That game contributes to one of my favourite little bare facts without context, ever - England 1-5 Germany, undoubtedly the highlight of the Eriksen reign? Heskey played. England 3-0 Russia, the highlight of the McLaren reign where Owen found his boots and qualification was still on the cards? Heskey played. Croatia 1-4 England, the highlight of Fabio's reign, Walcott's hat trick and exorcizing the ghosts of Wembley? Heskey played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Heskey has six children. Maybe one of them needs to go into Love Island and assist Owen's daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 8, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 8, 2022 I think Heskey was very underrated for England, he complimented Owen and later Rooney very well. Much better value at international level than most of the 'golden generation'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted June 8, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 8, 2022 The mention of Heskey reminds of Ray Sipe, one of the greatest comedy minds of our generation.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I love Heskey, he’s a fellow super breeder and is generally underrated but he only really excelled at being the fit girls less glamorous best friend. Looked like he had Drogba style potential early doors at Leicester though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Obviously I hated the Incester bastard as he always scored against us, but his middle name is Ivanhoe therefore Heskey is better than his contemporaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted June 8, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 8, 2022 For me, David Healy scoring 36 goals in a mostly awful Norn Iron side was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Thesz Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Against my better judgement I had a look at the Daily Mail site last night. They were bemoaning the "woke" coverage Channel 4 provided for the England game but only covered online complaints rather than providing and evidence. Did anyone watch it and if so was there an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just because Channel 4 is publicly funded, not for profit and tends to try and remain impartial in its news coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 9, 2022 Not domestic, but some interesting changes the wonderful Dutch are putting in place, some of which I'd like to see over here. Fog Dude will have kittens reading this. Love the idea of kick-ins. Throw-ins are such a fucking abomination, I can't believe they still exist. Dribbling from free kicks is also interesting. My friend pointed out- what happens if your keeper is booked? All man rush??
