Trophies: League Cup (2001, 2003), FA Cup (2001), UEFA Cup (2001), UEFA Super Cup (2001)
Emile Heskey was one of the attacking spearheads of a trophy-laden period for Liverpool under Gerard Houllier.
Signed from Leicester City at the outset of the new millennium, the England international could be an unplayable presence at his best.
Quick, strong, deft in link-up play and a finisher with head or foot, Heskey scored 22 times in 56 appearances during an impressive first full season at Anfield, 2000-01.
Predominantly in partnership with Michael Owen up front, but Robbie Fowler too, he helped the Reds achieve a remarkable treble triumph.
There was League Cup, FA Cup – in which he scored in four different rounds – and UEFA Cup success that term, alongside European Cup qualification.
A UEFA Super Cup win followed at the outset of the next campaign, with Heskey scoring in the 3-2 victory over Bayern Munich in Monaco.
