Classic Big Interview: Emile Heskey

Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Emile Heskey from season five.

The title of Emile’s autobiography ‘Even Heskey Scored’ was a good-humoured swipe at the widespread fallacy that he wasn’t a prolific striker.

There’s great insight into why Leicester City’s players would run through walls for Martin O’Neill.

Emile’s big move to Liverpool required a major adaptation; he loved it and the Kop loved him, but eventually he wanted out of the Anfield pressure cooker.

Also: being a serial cup winner, how Steve Claridge was the worst trainer ever, and how the Golden Generation thrashed Germany.
