Emile heskey was an absolute legend.... I'm 26 but my bro kept on telling me about the connection be had with owen and watching RUclips clips of his goals... to me owen and heskey were the most underrated partnerships we've ever had..
@@kl3579To be fair he was class in the 2000-01 season, but so was most of the first team squad. Heskey got 22 in all comps that season, which was over a third of what he got in his whole 4 and a half years at the club.
Your brother is 100% correct, it was Heskey who was owen biggest help in winning Ballon D'or owen wouldn't have won it without Heskey, him and owen where amazing
I'm 43 now and 19 when he signed and he looked Awesome in our kit. Knew he'd never be prolific and he had some dry spells but on his day he was unplayable just not prolific enough but did so much for the team.
Heskey and Owen left in the same summer of 04.... was gutted, but then we brought Cisse, Alonso, and Luis Garcia in Benitez's first season and won the UCL ❤
What a man and what a player he was. The perfect team player and totally unselfish but when he scored a goal- damm did he score a goal. Thanks for the memories Emile- YNWA!
That Liverpool side of 2000/2001 doesn't get anywhere near the amount of praise it deserves! 63 games that season! We played every single game in every tournament and won UEFA cup, FA cup, and the League cup..., and finished top 3 in the premier League, (that was when we only had 3 teams who could qualify for champions league) it's an astonishing achievement, that season is one of the best memories of my lifetime...thank you Emile and Gerard Houllier...all the boys ...it will be treasured forever
Nearly everyone he’s partnered over the years picks him as their favourite strike partner. He was an excellent target man, his hold up play was so good. Perfect for Michael Owen’s game.
I fell in love with LFC when Houllier took over and I have fond memories of all these players during his tenure. We really needed Heskey, we really only had Owen and Fowler up top and they were having injury problems at that time.
I remember watching him score a hat trick against Derby. A really eye opening interview about the challenges of moving to another club and a bit of blast from the past as well...
2000/01 season still gets me. Yes weve won 2 CL and the PL since and 2018-2020 were mega seasons but 00/01 is still special for me. Christmas 2000 i had 2 bets with 2 mates that LFC would win 3 cups we in,this despite us not even starting the fa cup yet. Won 60 quid that may. 😂 Awesome days. They were man utd and Arsenal fans too and the day we did the gunners in the cup my mate was distraught. 😂
Really admired heskey as a kid, as a young kid growing up in leics seeing a local lad play for city in the prem and then go and do it at Liverpool was amazing, heskey was the first player I idolised even before making the decision to follow my dad in being a red
Hesky was always a nice guy, nice to see he's still around the club. You have to be a gentleman of a certain age to remember the golden Gerrard Houllier days ,liverpool wasn't consider a top 3 team before these days and I still say the LFC rebuild we see today, started from the Houlier success. Same that ill health too Houlier away from us. Was this team as good as we have now, may be not, but football was a different game in, and with this Houliers team, they give a game, and you never rule them out.
One of the best to wear the shirt, certainly one of my favourite players growing up. 60 goals and six titles during his time. He’s done a lot for the women’s game since retiring at Leicester City, would love to see him do the same at Melwood some day. YNWA
Heskey is my hero, favourite Liverpool player ever, when i was 4 my brother told me to pick a team to support, was watch match of the day, Heskey scored a screamer and i said i support them and he is my favourite player, every game he played i loved, followed him in every team, still die hard Liverpool fan but Heskey started that
So much to say about Heskey was the face of Houllier new vision of Liverpool after coming with a lot of hype from Leicester which produced success, helped enabled Michael Owen to be the force of nature for club and country. A proper team player which came at times a sacrifice to his own game. Favourite Heskey moment that Roma game and that header.
Looking back Heskey did good for us. Obviously not prolific but dis the job well as in holding play/ball up,power,pace. His performance v Villa in Sept 2000 I was lucky too see at Anfield he was phenomenal as Owen got 3. I was in the kop oh the days.
Great player and from what I have seen through out the years, a great person! BUT..... I really think that in today´s football he would be a terrific CENTRE BACK!!!! He hardly lost in the air, he had great speed and was a great passer both short and long!! I don´t know if the younger generation remembers his passing but it was really good.
Loved Emile unfortunately the team was not set up around him properly and was left on his own up front all the time trying to hold it up till he got support.
The big fella was unbelievable 99-00 end of 00 when he cam then is first full season the arl treble n super cup Charity shield gutted It wernt him n Robbie instead of that lil manc 🐀 n heskey started to decline 03-4 who cares he was fuckin unbelievable for us
gomez, bradley, konate players who should be thrown away and replaced especially j.gomez and c.jones. Liverpool must quickly buy new players above them to replace them. if not . The only Premier League champions are Manchester City and Liverpool who continue to be false champions every season.
FC Liverpool, please offer Sven Goran Erickson to manage LFC legends again Ajax Legends. Just one game. Please. Maybe it will boost him and extend his life. Please. Show your class

He scored 39 goals in 150 games for lfc he was a balloon 🎈
You might be right 😅 I can't give a reason back as I weren't born in his era... I only watched little bits here and there

Yh but LADY LUCK played a huge part in that season. We were 🐕 💩. Great ending though hay.
@@rosefarrell2440not luck, Stevie G
What a man and what a player he was. The perfect team player and totally unselfish but when he scored a goal- damm did he score a goal. Thanks for the memories Emile- YNWA!
One of my all time favourite LFC players, and just seems a properly nice lad
Wow. One of the best interviews! What a fine man. I’ll keep an eye out for those boys of his. A great ambassador for football. 🏆🌟👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The best big target man our club has had... Thanks for all the joy you brought me watching Liverpool FC play back in those times! Legend! YNWA
Hesky Time baby what a guy love this podcast series
watching this as a Leicester fan. nice to see many nice words about one of our own. a great ambassador for the city.
Was there for one of his first goals at Anfield in 2000 v Bradford 🔥
If you loved Heskey as much as Owen and Fowler growing up, you were a real football person. What a selfless player and what a person.
Loved Emile at LFC immensely. Great times and thanks for the memories.
Nearly everyone he’s partnered over the years picks him as their favourite strike partner. He was an excellent target man, his hold up play was so good. Perfect for Michael Owen’s game.
I loved him, so humble too
Although he didn't score many goals..... his contribution at Anfield and Leicester were top notch.
Great player. Superb 00/01 season
Most definitely was "honest" and certainly provided a lot of "fun" moments. Top lad, Big Emile.
Loved at Liverpool, great roll model
I fell in love with LFC when Houllier took over and I have fond memories of all these players during his tenure. We really needed Heskey, we really only had Owen and Fowler up top and they were having injury problems at that time.
One of my heroes growing up watching the Redmen, I used to copy his dj celebration on the school yard
Still is and always was a Gentleman. YNWA ❤️
Hesky the goat
Emile was used for Liverpool the same way jack Charlton used Aldo in the Great Irish team . They sacrificed themselves for the team ❤❤❤
Nailed it.
Great player love him.

Absolute legend. Love Emile Heskey 🙌

Oh mate that 2001 FA cup final I thought we had blown it... Then Owen just scores 2 out of nowhere... What a day. I had liverpool to win 2.1 aswell. 😊
Jeez I remember when he Heskey was a wonder kid at Leicester in the 90s.
Really admired heskey as a kid, as a young kid growing up in leics seeing a local lad play for city in the prem and then go and do it at Liverpool was amazing, heskey was the first player I idolised even before making the decision to follow my dad in being a red

Always seemed like a confidence thing with Heskey. That one season with us that he was unreal, always seemed to score every time he had the ball.
Miss so much...
Respect to a great player, 59 games played in a winning season, Current managers and players complaining about number of games today.
Heskey is my hero, favourite Liverpool player ever, when i was 4 my brother told me to pick a team to support, was watch match of the day, Heskey scored a screamer and i said i support them and he is my favourite player, every game he played i loved, followed him in every team, still die hard Liverpool fan but Heskey started that
Id love Emile to play in a legends game.
When I used to tap the telly when the signal used to drop. I always found Emile used to fall over
What a great interview, and a lovely man.
Closed his eyes when he headed the ball this fella
Heskey was like Roberto Firmino- Unselfish and a REAL TEAM Player. I Loved his celebrations too, just like Firmino's!!! (YNWA) Thank You, Heskey
love these intervies, and hesky is legend.
YNWA
Legend and a hero
also search heskey dj celebration shooting stars
Thank you Heskey ❤❤❤❤❤
What a lovely interview and a lovely man. Surely football has a 2024-role for such an articulate ambassador for football?
Wow, absolutely compelling. Thanks ❤
luve him...ynwa
my dad's fav player that time

Given the leicester the connection Close your eyes, listen..can you hear Dion Dublin?
Incredible how they talk about the 2001 year in which Stevie G-force won PFA young player of the year award- and not mention him at all...😮
Let's go Liverpool
Thank.
Love EH :-) superstar
Top player for us Emile..YNWA
Made up when he signed. He done brilliant in them 4 years at Liverpool.
Most selfless striker of his generation.
🐐
Great player and from what I have seen through out the years, a great person!
BUT..... I really think that in today´s football he would be a terrific CENTRE BACK!!!! He hardly lost in the air, he had great speed and was a great passer both short and long!! I don´t know if the younger generation remembers his passing but it was really good.
lol
KSI made everyone belive he was a horrible player
The Chuck Norris of football ⚽

It's the SAME thing that happened to the klopp Team that almost did the quadruple two Years ago- a burn-out after 64-65 games!!!
Next time call our lengd ❤ James Miller
Loved Emile unfortunately the team was not set up around him properly and was left on his own up front all the time trying to hold it up till he got support.

So why his boys at City ? 😂😂😂. Legend. YNWA

Why didn’t heskey meantion Stevie G 🧐 is there a little bit of beef there?
YNWA
Until now I still think Heskey was much better than Cisse. When he and Owen left I was gutted but thankfully Rafa came and we won UCL

Im old enough to remember Heskey was always a meme
.
Heskey was a very highly rated player, he became a meme towards the end of his career.
Clearly not, he was class at Leicester and was great for us with Owen too.
@@craigchristian344 ironically, you can't mention Heskey without mentioning Owen.
