Heskey's peskie replacement!


Norway's version of Emile Heskey, John Carew (pictured above with James Milner and Stephen Warnock) on Sunday inspired a stunning second half comeback from Aston Villa in the FA Cup tie 4-2 win against Reading.

The occasional striker scored a second half hat-trick much to the delight of manager Martin O'Neill. ''Ah, it was great wasn't it. I picked Emile (Heskey), and played Carew (John) so he could learn about being Emile Heskey from him, but he's surpassed anything Emile's ever done. I never expected him to score, let alone 3 goals!!....I feel sorry for Reading to be honest. I only brought John to be Emile's understudy and never expected him to score goals.......thats more Richard Dunne's job in this team'' O'Neill told our reporter.

Carew has had a long history of not being Emile Heskey, starting with Carew's mother not giving birth to Heskey, he then wasn't called Emile Heskey instead being given the name John Carew. Carew then went on to be Norwegian which meant he once again was not Emile Heskey. He went on to have a playing career for Valencia in Spain, Roma in Italy, and Lyon in France. All these while not being even remotely Emile Heskey!.

Instead while all this was going on Heskey was not being John Carew during spells with Leicester City, Liverpool, Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic and England.
