Jaden and Reigan Heskey started their first-ever game together as Manchester City under-19s beat Young Boys on Tuesday in the UEFA Youth League.
Reigan Heskey was in class at school on Monday when he got the call that he would be playing for Manchester City under-19s in the UEFA Youth League on Tuesday.
Jaden has five goals to his name so far this season between under-18 and under-21 level, while Reigan had never played above under-16s until this week. With injury and fitness issues restricting Brian Barry-Murphy's selection against Young Boys, it was Reigan who got the call to take his chance at the Joie Stadium.
"We're synonymous with players in those wide positions that at this club have to be able to beat players one-vs-one and create situations you can win the game from," he said. "Reigan's got all those qualities every single game I've seen him. There's other parts of his game he naturally has to work on.
"I was conscious of the fact it wasn't Jaden's responsibility to look after Reigan," the coach said. "Reigan is a high-level player and Jaden's still finding his way at this level himself." With both parents in the stands as the brothers lined up together, dad Emile got his phone out to record Reigan's penalty for future posterity, but Jaden says the former England man took the decision not to give either of his sons too much advice pre-match when the family knew both would be involved.
"They have to be treated as individuals. Jaden has me in his ear all the time demanding certain things so he doesn't have time to think about what Reigan's doing," he explained.
