Heskey

[Knox_Harrington]

Was f***ing magnificent today.

[Guz]

Barely lost a header all game, either as striker or importantly centre back. Immense from heskey and deserved every bit of that skipper's armband at the end today.

[stressederic]

Nearly scored with an overhead kick as well.

[Guest JV]

Should be a centre back

[stressederic]

Should be a centre back

 

But how would he curb his goal scoring insti...

 

Nevermind.

I remember watching him tear Argentina apart on his own at Wembley and thinking he'll be a top, top player. Maybe he just needed the right manager.

[Guest Ant]

Heskey was indeed un-believeable

[Roscoe]

delighted for him. a monster of a performance today.

[Hassony]

its a shame that he doesn't play like that in every game,maybe he would still be at liverpool

it was a psychologist he needed

 

 

he has all the physical attributes, most of the skill but nowhere near the mentality to be a top, top player

 

 

shame.

Agreed.....and the exact same could be said of Collymore.

[Guest JayMc]

Collymore was just mental.

 

Heskey didn't have enough self motivation. When he was up for it no one could handle him.

 

Not the brightest chap either, which doesn't help.

[Magic8Ball]

could you imagine collymore and heskey playing together if their heads were right ?????

 

I remember Collymore and Fowler was scary enough - as close a guarantee of goals each game you can get

[Guest JV]

Loved that partnership.

[Zoob]

Didn't see the match, but glad to hear Heskey did well, and that Wigan stayed up.

 

There were a few times when Heskey was just unstopable - much like Drogba can be. I don't really understand why he has such self doubt, or feels the need to spend so much time on his @ss.

Out of interest, how many games did Robbie and Collymore play alongside each other?

Collymore only played around 60 games for us, so the 2 of them probably played around 40-45 games together.

 

I remember 95/96, when the two of them scored 55 goals between them. They were amazing that year.

 

I wonder if we'll ever have such a partnership again, or whether the game is too different now with rotation, playing only 1 up front etc.

I remember a series of 3 games where they were both scoring - and they started away to Newcastle that year - they scored from the kickof

I think robbie passed to collymore who beat 3 players and scored - amazing -- think the goal was disallowed though

but the point is that was as close to the perfect partnership I've seen, 55 goals a season between them says it all

[dorgie]

Pity our goalkeeper was playing s*** that time

[Zoob]

Our defence as a whole weren't too great that year.... Babb, Ruddock... Dicks? who ever, they had absolutely no consistency. And it was during that period where everytime we conceeded a corner, it looked likely the other team would score

Eto'o and Tevez - 2007/08 season

Eto'o and Tevez - 2007/08 season

yes, yes, yes oooh YES !!!

[Maldini]

Heskey at his best is/was unplayable, his heads not there though. I wonder if he'll become a CB in his twilight years.

Allow me to take offence at the last remark

I have never recovered from that. I f***ing hate when we are defending corners.
