VIDEO: Watch Emile Heskey’s hilarious pre-game prediction f**k up

Leicester or Spurs?

Kevin Beirne

Emile Heskey has played for many teams in his long career.

The former England international has had spells with Leicester City, Liverpool, Birmingham City, Wigan, Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers – so we’ll excuse him for forgetting which one is which from time to time.

But if you are going to forget the team you started your career with, it’s probably best not to do it on live TV.

The former Leicester forward appeared on the BBC ahead of the Foxes’ 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Sunday, and offered his prediction for the match.

The only problem was that it didn’t make a lick of sense, as Heskey tipped Liverpool to come out triumphant before quickly realising his mistake.
