Bolton veteran Heskey thrilled with Liverpool FA Cup draw

Bolton Wanderers striker Emile Heskey is thrilled with their FA Cup draw against former club Liverpool.

Heskey signed for the Trotters over Christmas and is already amongst the goals.

"It was great, wonderful," was the Englishman's reaction to the draw. "Who would have thought that at 37, I'd be going back to Anfield and having the opportunity to play again?

"Obviously I've got to get into the squad. It's nice, a wonderful feeling. Everyone is buzzing, it's a great tie for the club - to go to one of the best teams in English football and put yourselves up against them.

"There are some young lads here that possibly want to move on to bigger clubs, so you put in good performances against the big sides and you never know."
