Emile Heskey: 'I've still got it'
Former Liverpool and England striker Emile Heskey tells 5 live Sport he is enjoying life under manager Neil Lennon at Bolton Wanderers, where he scored the equaliser in their 2-1 Championship win over Blackburn.
Heskey, who won 62 caps for England, returned to England after two years in the Australian A-League, and says he can continue to play football for as long as he pleases. Heskey talks of his relationship with fellow Bolton front-man, Eidur Gudjohnsen. The striking pair have a combined age of 72.
When asked if he's still got the talent that saw him score goals on the very highest stage, 36-year-old Heskey says, with tongue very much in cheek, "it never went away".
