Rivaldo rates Heskey

"Heskey may be heavily criticised by some English fans but I don't see it like that," said the Brazilian midfielder. "I played against him a couple of times for Barcelona against Liverpool in the Champions League and realised what a quality player he is.

"It wasn't long before I began thinking what weight of character and strength Heskey possessed. I told the other players how dangerous he was.

"I admire the way he attacks the Premierhip, so when you ask me which Englishman I think would be able to cope with playing in my team, Brazil, I say Heskey."
