Former England international Emile Heskey has said that he feels privileged to be playing in Australia's A-League.
The 35-year-old forward, who joined Newcastle Jets in September 2012, has scored eight goals since moving down under.
"The reception for all the marquee players in this league seems to be exceptional," Heskey told the Daily Mail.
"It's been amazing because the main thing that people say is 'thank you for coming here'.
"It seems a bit crazy that they think like that, it's a bit of a privilege to be playing here in that respect."
Heskey was capped 62 times at senior international level between 1999 and 2010, scoring seven goals for the Three Lions.
Heskey was in Pele's 100 best players alive in 2004

Sources are telling me Emile Heskey will sign new contract with Newcastle Jets as long as one condition is met.
Condition is GVE is NOT manager.
Am hearing also HEskey will be signing as Egg is getting punted come seasons end.
Good news though we are scouring the world and giving the job to one Craig DEANS![]()
^ This was doing the rounds several weeks ago and was not hosed down when first suggested so maybe your source is on the money.
Was taking you seriously up until the comment of Craig Deans. Shirely Knott.
Couldn't give a rat's arse who does the job as long as they don't have a Nazi youth policy
it sort of explains Egghead's 'softer' and 'everyxthing's beautiful' manner of late. I thought he must have been on medication. Realistically, who would listen to an emotionally immature, tactical light weight? Nothing to admire or be inspired by in Egghead.
No. I never want Jones coaching us. He showed his true colours when he cracked the shit when he wasn't GvE replacement and, if I remember correctly, he tried to hamper Branko at every turn, eventually resulting in him leaving.
Give me Deans over Jones any day. At least Deans is purely incompetent.

Deans over Jones......crazy talk
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
I think the obvious solution is Dean Jones. Best of both worlds.
Hmmm....Heskey or GVE, tough call.
Should be a poll in the Herald if you are reading this Robert !
