England will miss Heskey - Petrov
Aston Villa ace Stiliyan Petrov believes England will come to regret Emile Heskey's decision to retire from international football.[LNB] The big frontman - much maligned in the Three Lions shirt after scoring just seven goals in 62 appearances - called time on his England career after the failed World Cup bid.[LNB]He has recently been on fire for Villa and England boss Fabio Capello has tried to persuade the 32-year-old to reconsider his retirement ahead of the forthcoming Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro.[LNB]However, the Villa forward has stuck to his guns and Petrov believes England will come to regret his decision.[LNB]He told The Sun: "I think England will regret the day Emile retired. [LNB]"He has been a top Premier League striker for years. [LNB]"And every time he played for England he helped those around him - Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, everyone. [LNB]"Yet people have never given him enough credit. He's very underrated. [LNB]"I know how hard he works and how important he is for our team. [LNB]"I also know how important he is for England. [LNB]"But sometimes you only appreciate someone when they are gone - and I think that will be the case with Emile."
