Emile Heskey relishing "wonderful" Anfield return

Bolton Wanderers striker Emile Heskey has admitted that he cannot wait to return to Anfield to face former club Liverpool in this evening's FA Cup clash.

The 37-year-old won four major trophies - one FA Cup, one UEFA Cup and two League Cups - in a fruitful four-year spell on Merseyside.

"It's wonderful," he told reporters. "Who'd have thought at 37 I'd be going back to play at the club where I had so much success?

"We won a lot of trophies and the fans were wonderful for me and I thank them for that. Now I get the opportunity to go back and play against them."

Heskey signed a short-term contract with the Trotters last month after spending two years with Australian outfit Newcastle Jets.

The veteran striker has netted once in three games for Bolton thus far.
