So what explains the massive disparity between his career achievements and the popular perception? Why do Norwegian adolescents produce YouTube videos mocking him that get , views? What did he ever do to the good people of Stavanger? Since he had such a long top-level career, the blooper real is extensive. And his return from Australia is fresh meat for meme artists and Twitter wits. But in his prime, Heskey worked hard, was unselfish, strong, and often made his teammates better, notably Michael Owen.

And those simple yet strangely rare virtues were enough to give him what, statistically, has been — and still is — an outstanding career. The best teams have a diverse range of players.
