Heskey's Leicester City Story – 'Just A Phenomenal Time'

The phrase 'Club legend' is often used in the modern era, but for Emile Heskey, it is richly justified. Few players have enjoyed his fairytale story of coming through the ranks at their boyhood team before helping them to promotion, two cup final wins, European football and consecutive top-10 finishes in the Premier League, while also making his international bow.

The formative years of Heskey's career were spent at the Leicester City Academy and his Saturday afternoons involved fetching stray balls from around the Filbert Street pitch, just enjoying the experience rather than aspiring to emulate his heroes on the turf.
