Wigan striker Emile Heskey has pleaded with England boss Steve McLaren to give him a starting berth in the remaining Euro 2008 Qualifiers. Emile also believes that he should earn a starting spot against Estonia.
"I feel I've done enough to deserve to start the next game," said Heskey, who held off the challenge of Peter Crouch, back after a ban, to keep his place against Russia.
"As a player you want to start all the time, definitely. A player is not worth having in the squad if they want to sit on the bench.
"But, to be honest, I think there is still a lot more to come from me.
"I did what I had to do against Russia, I would probably give myself seven out of 10 for my performance.
"I know I have got more than that. But for that game it was ideal that I played in that way."
With Wayne Rooney on his way back from a long-term injury, Heskey knows his chances of first team action may be limited.
