The 100 club: Heskey's double delight

100 club: Emile Heskey

Former Leicester City forward picks second top-flight strike as his favourite Premier League goal

In the 25 seasons of the Premier League, there have been fantastic displays of skill in every position, but a special group of players hold the accolade of scoring a century of Premier League goals.

Emile Heskey is one of four players to appear over 500 times in the Premier League and score more than a century of goals.

The former England forward represented Leicester City, Liverpool, Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic and Aston Villa in the top flight.

Despite making an appearance in 19 Premier League seasons, it was in the striker's third top-flight match where he scored his favourite goal in the competition.

Heskey netted his first Premier League strike in that match on 21 August 1996 against Southampton and then produced a sublime long-range effort to help the Foxes win 2-1 and crown a memorable moment.
