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.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 8, 2022 Paid Members 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'.
Paid Members gmoney Posted June 8, 2022 Paid Members Posted June 8, 2022 The mention of Heskey reminds of Ray Sipe, one of the greatest comedy minds of our generation.
Mr_Danger Posted June 8, 2022 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.
Keith Houchen Posted June 8, 2022 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.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted June 8, 2022 Paid Members Posted June 8, 2022 For me, David Healy scoring 36 goals in a mostly awful Norn Iron side was incredible.
Hugh Thesz Posted June 8, 2022 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?

Le Saux may affect the tones of a well educated man, but if you listen carefully to what he says, it becomes apparent very quickly that he’s a complete dolt.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 9, 2022 Paid Members 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??
