The Manchester Evening News spoke to former England striker Emile Heskey as he watched his two sons play together for Manchester City this week.
Emile Heskey has an admission: he fell asleep and missed his son's Manchester City debut this summer. Perhaps he can be forgiven, though - it was 3am in the morning and the former England and Liverpool striker follows youngsters Jaden and Reigan up and down the country as they look to make their own names at City. And he's playing a crucial part in helping two of the most exciting talents within the academy navigate a pivotal part of their exciting careers.
What my dad did was incredible - now I'm making my own name at Man City Speaking to MEN Sport, Heskey explained his deliberate parenting style with his two sons forging on with the academy. 'The one thing I always said to them was to let them enjoy their football, that's what it's all about,' he said. 'You don't come into football for anything else. It becomes a bit more serious the higher you go and what you want to achieve. This part of football is what I enjoy.
