Emile Heskey enjoyed a stellar career at both club and country level, and the former England striker had a number of world class strike partners throughout his lengthy career.
Often leading the line for Leicester, Liverpool, and Aston Villa, Heskey’s time in football saw him achieve some incredible highs as he collected a few honours and regularly featured on the big stage in multiple international tournaments.
When representing England, Heskey had the privilege of lining up alongside several top-quality forwards with Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney being the dominant pair who accompanied him up top.
Both Owen and Rooney played crucial parts in England going deep in various competitions but who does Heskey believe was the better player?
“I played more with Michael,” said Heskey when speaking exclusively with DAZN via Freebets.com.
“Two totally different players but I played more with Michael.
“I played with Michael from England under 18s, so it was a very long time. I’d say Michael but they’re two different players and I enjoyed playing with both of them.”
