This took a bit of time.

Seven clubs, 62 England caps, 21 years. Big Emile Heskey has played with his fair share of decent talent. The former Liverpool striker spoke to SportsJOE this week and while we had him, we asked him to select his all-time XI of past and present team mates and he came up with a pretty good side. However, in true England fashion, Heskey struggled to find a left winger and had to revert to throwing poor Stevie G back out wide - but not too far. "I'd have Becks on the right," he explained. "And I would probably put Stevie inside left, not too much on the wing! I wouldn’t have an out-and-out left winger, I never really played with anyone who could do that – unless Steve Guppy and people like that. Harry Kewell, but he wasn't really a winger. Ashley Cole can get up and down anyway." The team is made up of 10 English men and one Scotsman - which means no room for Robbie Keane - but there was space for just four Liverpool players. And no room for the man himself. Emile Heskey XI
