  Liverpool FC Emile Heskey Caricature
Emile Heskey may not yet be the nation's top striker but if he can maintain his form and progress of the last three seasons he will become a fantastic striker.
Emile Heskey helped The Foxes win promotion in his first full season and the following year, 1996/97, was even better as he rifled in a career-best 12 goals, including the last-ditch Wembley equalizer in the Coca-Cola Cup Final against Middlesbrough.
But on The Downside Emile by his standards had a poor World Cup in 2002 and was hot and cold for Liverpool and with the arrival of new players like Wayne Rooney for England Emile Heskey will have to work his socks off to keep his place.
