- description: It *is* him, isn't it? I mean, it looks like him, he runs like him, his name's Emile, he's from Leicester, he's about the right age... (This episode of EMU-TV was broadcast 12th April 1989, when he was 11, though the segment was possibly filmed in the autumn of 1988 when he was still 10.) The only thing that makes me doubt it is that at no point does he pick up any sort of injury. Sadly, Emile doesn't get attacked by Emu (in fact, due to the rain, said bird doesn't even make an appearance), but at least the future England international footballer and World Cup goalscorer who would be sold to Liverpool for £11m around a decade later got called "Emily" on national television by Pink Windmill Kid Kelly. Many thanks to Lindsay for lending me this tape. (Please remember that this is an old VHS recording, so don't go expecting 1080p HD quality. I'm fairly certain that this video isn't commercially available, and I've uploaded it for its historic interest only. That said, if you are a copyright holder and object, please don't hesitate to contact me.)
