Emile William Ivanhoe Heskey (born 11 January 1978) is an English footballer who plays for Aston Villa as a striker.
Born in Leicester, Heskey started his career with Leicester City in 1995. He made an £11 million move to Liverpool in 2000, which, at the time, was the record transfer fee paid by the club. At Liverpool, he won multiple honours, including the FA Cup in 2001. He moved to Birmingham City in 2004, Wigan Athletic in 2006 and to current club Aston Villa in 2009.
Heskey was an England international, of Antiguan descent. He made his international debut against Hungary in a 1–1 draw in 1999 and has gone on to attain 62 caps and score seven goals for the team. He lost his place in the squad after UEFA Euro 2004, during which he failed to shine and was the subject of much criticism. After a long lay-off from international duty, Heskey was recalled to the England squad for UEFA Euro 2008 qualifiers in September 2007. He retired from international football following the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
