Heskey has retired.

[Locke]

Shame really.

On other news, Thierry Henry has also retired!

 

[4T5]

So his last noticeable contribution to England was wiping out Goofey.

******* donkey.

 

[The Running Man]

basic maths:

leicester 29%
liverpool 25%
Birmingham 20%
Wigan 18%
Villa 12%

thats goals per game folks. you can see clearly why he went to the world cup.

basic maths:

leicester 29%
liverpool 25%
Birmingham 20%
Wigan 18%
Villa 12%

thats the percentage of women, children and the not-fully-able that are worse at football than Heskey folks.

fixed

Wish he would retire from football completely.

- Signed every villa fan.

 

[Greenlizard0]

The biggest and most important thing he could have done if he 'loves' England.

 

[peterattheboro]

About ******* time.

My girllfriend said she was leaving me last night. She said she just can't take me seriously anymore. I was so shocked I nearly dropped my official Emile Heskey fan club membership badge...

You forgot to add his most important stat for England

 

[Yas786]

And England fans have a reason to cheer at last

LOL indeed...why he was picked for the WC i will never ever really know...mind boggling to say the least.

I heard or read somewhere that some goalkeeper that plays or has played for a S American team had a higher goal tally than Hesky...says it all really.

Personally Capello should have put that lumbering big oaf in defence...seeing as he put Ferdinand out of the WC...should have played in his position

Jose Luis Chilavert perchance? He scored 8 in 74 for Paraguay which isn't too far behind Heskey on a goal/game ratio but then he often took free kicks or penalties. Or from the link in Chilavert's page you might be thinking of Rogério Ceni.

Well I'm disappointed that Heskey has retired from international football, still at least he can concentrate on Villa now, there's no reason for the game to mourn just yet when such a talent still plays in the EPL.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Two actually

Chilaverts record during the 97-98 season is absolutely mental although not as mental as Higuitas record for Atlético Nacional

 

[Shamikebab]

Thank ******* god.

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

But who will "get the most out of Rooney" now?!

Emile Heskey: 62 caps,7 goals.

Columbian goalkeeper Rene Higuita: 68 caps 8 goals.

Happy retirement, Emile.

 

[mmj_uk]

Says it all... no skill, no accuracy, can't stay on his feet.

 

[TangoSixteen]

Oh thank god!

Is that list of percentages the amount of games he scored in?

I.e netted near on 1 in 3 at Leicster, but down to nearly 1 in 10 at Villa?

I didnt think he was that good to get a goal every 10 games!!

Must include some OG's somewhere.

 

[Locky]

Lets do the Kan Kan, and cha cha, around ocuk, whos with me!

 

[craptakular]

Can we get Gerrard and lampard to retire now?

Probably Terry as well.

Cashley is a knob but he played ok so he can stay for now...
