Former England and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey yesterday revealed he almost signed the dotted line for Indian Super League (ISL) club FC Pune City in 2014, but the deal fell through. Speaking during an announcement of 'Legends Match 2018', an initiative to promote and develop football in India, Heskey said: "I nearly joined an ISL team. I was offered a contract by FC Pune City in 2014, but I don't know why I didn't accept it. I ended up joining English club Bolton Wanderers."
