Why heskeys retirement is great news




















After the horror of this year's World Cup, England flop Emile Heskey has announced his retirement from International football. The Aston Villa striker has surprisingly won 62 caps for his country, scoring only seven times as a striker!

He has always been seen as the lame duck for the England team. However, he was chosen for this summer's World Cup in South Africa. And he isn't the only one. Wayne Rooney has publicly hailed the role Heskey played for England on numerous occasions and Gale says his critics must appreciate what a team player he was. He added: "When you're judging players as they used to do in pairs, such as Tony Cottee with Emile at Leicester, and him at Liverpool as well, you have to look at how many goals they've scored together.

Emile's role wasn't just about scoring goals it was about the unselfishness and bringing other players into play and leading line. Wolff thought DSQ was a 'joke' Max says why he touched wing. Gallagher gets first England call-up; Sterling, Henderson, Grealish out.

That's what we chose," the former England striker said at technology conference Web Summit. He gives us a different angle as well. Stiliyan is a pro licence coach. I've started on my coaching journey, getting my badges. Gaizka's doing his coaching and media, so we're all different backgrounds, different techniques. It's been great for us all.

It's easy for players to sit down with players and go through what they're going through and knowing that they've already been through it and they've come out the other end.

Players like to talk to players because of the feeling that they've witnessed it and they've felt it. We're not taking away from anything that the clubs or anyone is doing. Heskey, 42, has an ambassadorial role at former club Leicester where he is helping to develop academy talent at LCFC Women by mentoring and coaching players.

Heskey also played for Birmingham, Wigan, Aston Villa and Bolton, and wants to use his personal experience to help people deal with life after football. We've lived, we've worn the t-shirt, we're here to help them. He says his research shows that players are still encountering some of the same problems he had when he brought the curtain down on his own playing career. We're so concentrated on what we're doing on the pitch, how to achieve on the pitch, we don't pay attention on how to prepare for life after football," Petrov said.
