Bolton striker Emile Heskey excited about coming back to Liverpool
Emile Heskey's recent trips to Anfield have seen him providing analysis for the club's in-house television channel, but the former Liverpool striker will aim to spoil friend Steven Gerrard's FA Cup dream when he returns again this weekend.
Ex-England international Heskey, 37, came back to English football when he made a surprise switch to Neil Lennon's Bolton in December and he will head back to his old stomping ground on Merseyside for a fourth-round tie this Saturday.
Heskey enjoyed a four-year spell with Liverpool following his £11million move from Leicester in 2000 and played alongside the likes of Gerrard, Michael Owen and Jamie Carragher in the team which won the FA Cup in 2001.
Heskey's hopes of playing in the tournament again appeared slim when he was working for LFCTV earlier this season after a two-year stint in Australia but, now the fulcrum of Wanderers' attack, he will aim to spring a shock as a visiting player at Anfield.
