Before there was Lord Nicklas Bendtner, before the likes of Danny Welbeck and Fernando Torres (of Chelsea) graced the English Premier League, there was this man, and he believes Leicester’s title push is worthy of a motion picture.
That player is none other than Bolton striker Emile Heskey, who recently sat down and gave his thoughts on the Foxes’ unexpected campaign to win the league crown.
The 38-year-old, who began life in the English top-flight at the King Power Stadium, admitted that Claudio Ranieri’s men were favorites to drop at the beginning of the season.
However, the Italian boss guided Vardy and Co. to the top of the league and are now only three wins away from the league crown, a fairytale campaign which Heskey believes is worth turning into a movie.
“To go and achieve what they (Leicester) have achieved is a phenomenal story. You could go and write a film,” said the Englishman.
