This week on More Than A Match, we’re joined by Premier League legend Emile Heskey as he takes us through his incredible football journey — from his early days to life after the final whistle.
We dive into his record-breaking transfer to Liverpool, where he formed iconic partnerships with the likes of Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard. Emile opens up about what it was like playing for both sides of Birmingham — Aston Villa and Birmingham City — and how he adapted to the shift from Champions League football to mid-table battles.
He also reflects on his international career with England: making the 2010 World Cup squad, the heartbreak of missing out in 2006, and facing the legendary Brazil side featuring Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.
And finally, we discuss that unexpected clash with YouTube star KSI, and whether it impacted his reputation in the football world.
