32 year old Emile Heskey has announced his retirement from international football.

Heskey scored 7 goals in 62 appearances for England in a carear that lasted11 years. By modern standards, this is actually a very long innings for an international.

Now im not going to bad mouth Heskey but it does surprise me that his England career lasted so long. At the age of 32 i doubt he would have been picked again for any England performances, and to be cruel, i think the more changes capello can make the better for the team. There are a lot of young players out there that score goals week in week out that i personally think should now be given the opportunity.
