Emile Heskey on Career Highlights, Favourite Players and Thoughts on Crouchy!
On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris and Sids sit down and talk to Liverpool and England legend, Emile Heskey.
Pete and Heskey discuss their mutual experiences on the red side of Merseyside as well as their playing days together for the three lions.
We hear the shocking revelation that Emile’s big break didn’t come from his athletic ability but his appearance on the Rod and Emu show as well as the career he was destined for if he hadn’t become a professional footballer.
Emile opens up on his thoughts on the current state of football as well as trying to get our very own Sids out of the podcast game and back on the sidelines.
And stay tuned for one of our favourite messages of the season where we listen to a classic football chant reimagined and a roast dinner XI!

What a guy. Very underrated. Loved and respected by all his team mates and managers. Speaks volumes about him
Super underrated player. Nobody gets to 100+ PL Goals without being a top-class player!
Crouchy?
It's about a 1 in 5 record with the amount of appearances. That's pretty woeful.
@@VillaBoys123he was signed to play off mate. Give him a break. Crouchy had a tremendous career for what people may call an unorthodox football player
@@VillaBoys123he doesn't do timestamps though so hes a shitbag for that but he knows
@@VillaBoys123 Well, that's one more than you'll ever do. Can't you just accept, he's nice guy, good player, achieved the best he could. Leave it at that! No, you got to be a dick!
What a lovely bloke.
Loved Heskey and that dj celebration 🔥
I wasnt a Leicester supporter but I used to love watching that team. And can we have an appreciation for Muzzy Izzit. Criminally underated.
Ade Akinbiyi was only at Leicester for 2 seasons but for some reason i can picture him in that blue Walkers jersey from when i was a kid & first got introduced to the Premier League.
crouchy randomly visiting ealing police station had me in hysterics, it’s so random 😆😆
Heskey had all the attributes to be one of the best strikers in the world. But he was a confidence player & couldn't get out of his own head. One game he was unplayable & the next game he couldn't hit a barn door. Great partnership with Owen, but 1 goal in 4 games ratio wasn't good enough for Liverpool. But he will always be remembered fondly by Liverpool fans. Similar to Crouchie actually.
One of my favourite shows, loved this 👍
A lovely man and a great player
Like a few I let the media narrative from the time sway my memory, massively happy I should’ve heard this podcast and be reminded about a great career and just a great bloke he is👍🏼 Top notch
I’d take an Emile Heskey podcast over Cantona any day
Are you mad? Cantona was box office.
@@declanshanahan3888 Cantona has a rule that no football questions can be asked, only questions about his music career.
beast of a player humble as F%6, this cast is epic well done lads
I just remember Heskey,Owen and Gerrard scoring for England regularly for a year or 3
Heskey... is... BEAST!
Got to say I absolutely love notorious as the third man, I hope this trio stays permanent
That was a brilliant watch and listen
King Heskey! Criminally abused by the English media and supporter's. Quality player on his day.
Heskey did a lot for the team and the way we played. I think most of the frustration that came his way was because we wanted to play a different way so therefore a diff striker. I never bought into it Heskey always did a job for England and enabled others to score.
Talking about legendary premier league strikers, it’s about time shearer came on!
Great guy! Great interview!
That was awesome, what a top guy and a fantastic career.
One of the best pods ever
Loved Heskey when he was with us at Liverpool. Gave it everything and delivered us some trophies. Legend.
love heskey, properly underrated. when he was at leicester when he got the ball and started running he was a force. his link up play and assists for england were vital for those years he was with that squad. heskey cole crouchy big les ian wright sheringham fowler all don't get mentioned enough imo. but today it's emile heskey's day
Class pod
Just to say them claps at the end where legendary every scouser has a clap with there mates and those ones where class 🤣😉 legend for Liverpool heskey la 🔴⚪️ YNWA
Rooney also said he liked to play with Heskey up front for England
Heskey on this and his pod with filthyfellas really changed my opinion of him, what a top bloke he is
Summary of the show: "So was ________ difficult?" "Nah it was all pretty easy" "How did you feel about ______, did it affect you?" "Nah actually I felt pretty good" 😂 This was actually really informative, turns out these guys are pretty good when they actually focus on the interview
emile got so much gyp when he actually played. constantly cussed out for being a donkey, shit finisher etc. it’s funny how much discourse changes with time. he comes across as a top bloke
What a gent
GOAT!!!
its a 20:00 KO - That should be easily accounted for!
You don't know what you're messing with This is Heskey kid, he's the best there is When he fakes his shot and Hit's with his left he still, misses: Heskey You don't know what you're messing with This is Heskey kid, he's the best there is When he fakes his shot and Hit's with his left he still, misses: Heskey
Now we're talking. Get them England players on.
Beef Gillespie for me! 😂😂
20:21 Josh Stark, has a much better ring to it to be fair
16:50... That really gets my blood boiling.. A footballer cant wear a tracksuit? He's not a bloody banker!
Under rated baller. Put him in todays man city team, easy 40 goals
Shut up, he was shit
Good grief, he was bang average compared who was about at the time. Some of the stick he got was over the top.
Bang average is harsh I'll take that back as he played at the highest level. But he weren't the most clinical at that level.
@@declanshanahan3888 if KDB fed him the chances guarenteed 40 goals. Emile was a baller
There again back in Heskeys playing days. Every team had a world class striker. Now we have Mcburnie and Brewster at sufc…
bruno bruno brunoooo
This show and the overlap just continuously prove how much the media negatively affects fan opinions. What a fuckin bloke Emile is, and it seems to be the same for every other guest... including fucking warnock!!
If you scored a goal every game you played in and started at Sunday league level, how long do you think it would take to get to the top?
kzhead.info/sun/hd6ChdlwhoSYrZE/bejne.html - Emile's first glimpse at stardom.
I remember watching united vs Leicester back in the 90's at Old Trafford I'm a united fan... Heskey scored a cracker he was the best player on the field that day for me. Heskey could run for days... Think united won 2-1 that day
True fact - England 5, Germany 1. I missed it because I was at a wedding. 😢
Me too kept running from the reception to pub next door for updates on the score 😂
It was 18th birthday that day
Co host makes this pod unwatchable I keep forgetting about him
This guy Chris has no respect for Emile and his accomplishments. Please get him off the pod. Offers nothing. Likes to talk about bridges. Helmet.
Where did you get that from did you watch something else?
Great teenager but rubbish footballer thereafter
It's that time where everyone says how underrated Heskey was when really he was just a bang average player at best.
Bang average players don’t win 3 trophies in one season or play at world cups
HESKEY Time...KSI originals
We are renewing our vows in 2026, so that we can have a proper big day. Last time was on a budget. We're a same-sex couple, but I'm the one who's the football fan. On our last day, we watched Chelsea v Sparta Prague in the Europa League the same day. If football is on again next time (it'll be during the season), footy will be on again x

As I guessed,if you can’t ask CANTONA any questions about footy…….who gives a fk.we do need to know if there was an actual meeting????🧹🪣📉💔
Why wouldn't you be able to ask him about being Footballer seeing as he's done loads of interviews about his career since he retired.
The fact they haven’t mentioned anything about it,I rekon that was a no-go! I SAID OOH AHH…🧄🇫🇷
