Heskey outrage at SPOTY snub

Emile Heskey has today hit out at the general public after he was snubbed for the Sports Personality of the Year again.

Although Heskey, 34, was not actually nominated for the award and never has been, he demanded answers as to why he did not take the coveted crown this year.

“The general public have given Emile Heskey a raw deal for too long now, and I'm sick of it” screamed Heskey. “Emile Heskey has been banging in the goals for Newcastle Jets, they sold out of replica Heskey shirts and I hear they might be naming a stand after me”

In a bizarre rant, Heskey went on to say: “What more does Emile Heskey need to do? Not a single vote this year and they can vote for anybody they want. What is their problem?”

After being told that in fact the general public cannot vote for anybody, just the 12 nominees, Heskey was undeterred, continuing to refer to himself in the third person.

“It begs the question why Emile Heskey wasn't nominated in the first place then. Did they not see Heskey Cam? That was an unwavering show of speed, power and endurance. None of the nominees displayed anything like that this year”
