Emile Heskey has shared his thoughts on why Australia is not ready to become a big player in global football.
Premier League legend Heskey, 46, played for the Newcastle Jets over two seasons, before returning to England to finish his career with Bolton Wanderers in 2016.
Heskey, who is best remembered for his stints at Leicester City and Liverpool, scored 10 goals in 42 games for the Jets at a time where exciting names were heading Down Under, including Alessandro Del Piero and David Villa.
But, 10 years later, Australian domestic football remains some way away in standard compared to the European leagues, and Heskey believes it all comes down to attitude.
