For the sake of his privacy, ex-England football star Emile Heskey uses a pseudonym whenever he visits coffee shops.
The ex-striker for Liverpool and Aston Villa is so frustrated by the fact that baristas always get his middle nаme wrong that he now uses it. “Now, whenever I go into a coffee shop and they write your nаme on the cup, I sаy, ‘William,’ because they’ll inevitably shout out, ‘Emily,'” complained Emile, 45.
This isn’t the first time footballer Emile William Ivanhoe Heskey has had problems with how people pronounce his nаme, he claimed. On the children’s show EMU-TV, alongside Rod Hull and Emu, he was introduced as “Emily.”
“You can see I’m thinking, ‘What’s he talking about?'” Emile told FourFourTwo magazine when he got his nаme wrong. ‘Even Heskey Scored,’ the memoir written by the marksman from Leicester, delves more into his humiliating television experience.
He made the following statement: “I participated in the ‘Emu Challenge’ in 1989 as part of The Rod and Emu Show on TV. Not many people know this, but…”In case you’re really interested, the video is available on YouTube. Ade Danes, my agent in the media, recommends it to anyone who would listen. Thank you, Ade.
Jurgen Klopp responds to Gary Neville’s theory over Liverpool’s title chances
According to Jurgen Klopp, ‘Liverpool 2.0′ still has time to win the Premier League, contrary to Gary Neville’s prediction.
Liverpool, under Klopp’s leadership, have been sensational so far this season, racking up 34 points in 15 games to sit atop the league. They will face Crystal Palace, a struggling team, on Saturday. After undergoing a rebuild during the summer transfer window, former Manchester United captain Neville has often stated his belief that Liverpool isn’t ready to become champions again.
After captain Jordan Henderson, long-term mainstay James Milner, and midfield pivot Fabinho all left the club before the new season, Klopp had to add players like Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister to bolster his roster. “They’ve definitely got a spirit, a figҺt, Klopp’s teams always do,” Neville demurred on his Sky Sports podcast.They won’t be title contenders, in my opinion. Their midfield has improved and adapted more quickly than I anticipated, but I anticipate that their lack of a genuine holding man may present some difficulties.
They’re doing rather well. In the next transfer window or two, Klopp might have something truly remarkable, even if he doesn’t contend for the title this season.
Neville believes Klopp’s team is ahead of schedule since Liverpool have kept impressing since the former United captain made his remarks in October. When questioned on Friday if he shared that view, the Reds manager said: “I wаnted to develop a basis early in pre-season and then to become a reestablishedWith a goal deficit of one, we got that with the red cards. Without that, I don’t know what we would have done. I am content with the progress that has been made thus far. We have to find new captains for the world’s best football teams.
Liverpool great Jamie Carragher stated in October, “I don’t think Liverpool are quite ready to mount a serious challenge,” adding his voice to the chorus of critics who have cast doubt on the Reds’ title ambitions. That was obviously done by Arsenal last season. Despite their strong start, I don’t see them performing at the level they did at the same point last season, so I doubt everything is perfect.
