Son of ex-Everton, Stoke striker Heath coming through at Norwich

The son of former Stoke City and Everton star Adrian Heath is making the grade at Norwich City.

Harrison Heath, 18, is a midfielder with the Canaries.

"He's been massive for me," Harrison told The Sentinel of his father. "He taught me everything I now know. I can't complain about having someone as successful as he was as my dad.

"I loved it. You get some people who say it must be really hard and you understand that, but for me I always saw it from the viewpoint that I could only learn from it.

"I had an opportunity when I was younger to learn things that kids my age wouldn't normally have.

"He taught me honesty with regards to myself. Are you doing everything that you can every day to be a professional footballer?

"He taught me to love the game too, because it can go so quickly.

"And bravery. He told me to try things and not sit back, to not let the days in training pass you by."
