Heskey retires!

[hornetrider]

Oh well.

[FourWheelDrift]

I thought he retired from playing during the game with the USA.

Football has just died a little bit now.

Eta: Theres only one Emile Heskey, there's only one Emile Heskey. He used to be ste, but now he's alright, walking in a Heskey wonderland.

At least he was near the top of one list then.

I think footballers who feel the need to announce they are retiring from international football are pathetic individuals.

[CooperD]

Hooray!

[tankplanker]

God damn it! I was getting excited that he was retiring from Football completely, then when I go and check and its just from International Football.

I agree, they should be dispatched quietly with a bolt gun behind Lancaster Gate.

Of Heskey's calibre yes. I wouldn't begrudge an actual decent player announcing his retirement.

That explains the rise in the world rankings then.

Do you think that was part of the deal for England to move up a place ? Make Heskey retire and we won't demote you after what was an abysmal and shambolic world cup.

The only plus I got from the world cup was France going home before England.

Does anyone know if both previous finalist have failed to make the knock out stage before ?

62 caps
7 goals

Speaks for itself.

[Fittster]

Will Rooney now also retire as he is apparently incapable of playing alongside any other English striker?

Indeed. An excellent record for a goal keeper.

[Glassman]

One down...

Donkey has gone, Shrek could follow.

[Bada Bing]

Opta Stats are said that in his 62 games he only had 27 shots on target!!

Thats less than 1 ever 2 games

[FourWheelDrift]

Yep, if he ever went psycho with a gun we'd all be safe as he rarely shoots and never hits anything.

I reckon that I would have scored 10 (at least) had I played instead of him.
