Will this provoke a discussion about which Brazilian, German, Italian, French, Spanish or Argentinian centre forwards had a worse scoring record than Heskey?

Probably not and even if it does it won't be a long discussion If he was Brazilian he might have made a half-decent goalkeeper

Reason I can't stand Heskey is he scored a wonderful 'perfect' hat-trick against Derby for iirc Liverpool. Right, left and a rare headed goal

Opinion seems to be divided on whether to play big donkey forwards who couldn't score in a brothel, but who hold the ball up, track back, can play with back to goal, run channels, etc.

England seem keen on them. Italy, Brazil, Germany, Spain, France and Argentina seem not to favour them. It's hard to see who's right.

In 1998, France's world cup winning team famously had a non scoring striker in Stéphane Guivarc'h - No goals in 5 games during the tournament and only 1 from 14 games in total for France. Following his prolific World Cup Newcastle Utd snapped him up. He subsequently topped a poll of the 50 worst strikers ever to play in the Premier League.

Wonder if Chris Hughton has made the call for Heskey yet.

What a boring stereotype.

Don't spoil our fun TH. It's not like we can criticise what Man U have done on the pitch over the past 10 years.

And you're right, we should move on. Most of Man Utd's fans are now in the far east.

What a boring stereotype.

Perhaps you should go on the serious footy thread TH.
