Striker
I actually think Heskey would be more respected if he played now
I think fans are more understanding that a lone striker sometimes doesn’t get loads of goals but brings a lot to a team
It's easy to look at bare stats like goals scored or goals per game and think "ooh, a striker that doesn't score goals? Great!"
But to be honest other footballers absolutely loved playing alongside him, and often talked about how it their success was significantly helped by his hard work.
