In the thread "I’m Emile Heskey. AMA!".

> I wasn't to be honest, because I never knew who KSI was. That's the funniest thing everyone's going KSI said this blah blah, but I didn't know who he was. And then obviously someone showed me like well, okay, So the thing is, a lot of people think that you sit there and you're, you're affected by certain things. Half the time, you don't know because you don't feed into all that and you don't even look at all for that stuff. Then the other time is you're playing football. So you're playing something that everyone else wants to play. So no one else making a meme about you is only because they can't be there with you. If they were there with you, they wouldn't be making a meme because they would understand how hard it is to get there.

Context: Asked how the KSI memes about him affected him. (https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1di1wi8/im_emile_heskey_ama/)

Replying to a redditor:

> Oh shit its big Emile. If you had to single out a goal in your career that is your personal favourite, doesn't necessarily have to be the best one, just your favourite - Which one would it be and why? My favourite of yours is the goal against Bayern in the Super Cup where you…

> I think everyone knows which one that is. It will be the five one and the fifth goal against Germany in the 5-1 win significant game because it was Eriksson’s first competitive game. It was the return leg or the second leg of our qualifiers against them where we lost the first one in the last game at the old Wembley against Germany. I think they hadn't lost in fifty-plus competitive games at home. And then we went one nil down and then to come back and win five one. It's the game that everyone remembers exactly where they were when it happened. I was recently at a screening event for the England game and a lad come up to me. ‘So I remember that game blah blah’ and I said, how old were you? and he said 5. That's how that's how popular that game was.
