Emile Heskey: 5-1 in Munich, Michael Owen’s Final & FA Cup Semi-Finals | Footballs Greatest
Premier League legend and former England striker Emile Heskey joins Joe and Ash in the studio to talk all things FA Cup, Liverpool, England — and more.
He talks about Aston Villa’s FA Cup hopes, the impact of Unai Emery, and reflects on his own Cup memories — from Leicester’s late-90s success under Martin O’Neill to battles with some legendary centre backs, including Sol Campbell.
Heskey, who broke through with hometown club Leicester before becoming a key part of Liverpool’s iconic 2001 treble-winning side, opens up about his move to Anfield, dealing with a record transfer fee, and forming a lethal partnership with Michael Owen — one that would also shine on the international stage.
The trio also look back at one of England’s greatest nights: the 5-1 demolition of Germany in Munich. Emile shares how special that night was, how it changed his career, and Ashley explains why playing with Heskey made life easier.
All this and more in the latest episode of Football’s Greatest: Could It Be Magic?
