Wayne on England’s striker CRISIS, how he INJURED his son’s teacher & his possible COMEBACK

Emile Heskey joins Wayne, Kelly and Kae for a debate on the shortage of young English strikers in the Premier League. Is it too many foreign players, modern tactics or academy coaching that is to blame?

Emile talks about playing for the Wythenshawe Vets alongside several other former Premier League stars and Wayne reveals whether he'll be joining them. Wayne also recalls the time he seriously injured one of his kids’ teachers in a match and how he pranked everyone, including a Sky TV crew, that he was about to turn out for his brother-in-law’s Sunday league side.

Plus, Emile shares what Wayne was really like on England duty, including when he told a team-mate he’d be much better than him in his position, and Wayne remembers the story of how he lost his head playing snooker in front of a stunned Theo Walcott during the 2006 World Cup.
