This week Sam & Natalie are joined by returning guest and former Leicester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Wigan, Bolton & England forward...EMILE HESKEY!

Emile Heskey sits down alongside Sam Allardyce and Natalie Pike to discuss all things football from Liverpool's recent recruitment to what it was actually like going away with England.

They start the pod by talking about Emile's two son's Jaden and Reigan Heskey who both recently made their first team debuts for Manchester City and whether Emile prefers playing the game himself or watching his two boys play.

Marc, Sam & Natalie then chat in detail about the recent Michael Owen vs Wayne Rooney debate with Emile explaining why at that age no one could even get close to Michael Owen's ability but then later as an all round player, Wayne Rooney was incredible.

Emile then ranks the toughest England centre backs he faced as a striker including who doesn't get enough respect for their technical ability and why Martin Keown was so dirty to play against.

Emile & Sam then talk about Steven Gerrard's recent comments about their England team being a squad full of 'egotistical losers' and why Emile thinks that being locked away in their rooms for hours at a time ultimately lead to England's downfall in the major tournaments before discussing why England duty occasionally felt like the Gary Neville show.

The Trio discuss Liverpool's recent recruitment, why Arne Slot needs to solve his attacking issue and find a way to play Isak and Ekitike together before discussing online social media culture, the impact KSI's old FIFA videos had on the perception of Emile Heskey's career and why unfortunately player abuse wont end.
 
Finally we end the pod with a game of winner stays on as Sam and Emile pick their best Premier League forwards.
