City’s record signing at the time, Bobby Roberts cost £41.000 as Matt Gillies outbid Ipswich Town for his services. Primarily an attacking linkman, with one appearance for each Scotland U.23 and the Scottish League to his credit, he struggled initially to justify high expectations at Filbert Street, espaically as City employed him successively at left-half,…

Matty Fryatt was signed for Leicester City by then manager Craig Levein, but just 16 days after his arrival from Walsall the Scot had left and Fryatt felt a bit shocked by that decision. But with Rob Kelly then assistant pushed up to take first the vacant position as caretaker and later becoming the permanent…

Robbie Savage was probably not the player Martin O’Neill had in his mind to sign when he went to scout for Danny Murphy. Robbie Savage played alongside Danny Murhpy at Crewe Alexandria, and as we all know the England international to be, Murhpy ended up at Liverpool. Crewe were on the rise and played in…

N’Golo Kantè arrived at Leicester in August 2015, being signed from French club Caen for a fee of £5million. He had no international experience and not been capped at any youth levels at all. He was 24 years of age when signed, and had been on the Leicester City wish list for almost a year….

Faced with the initially daunting and thankless task of succeeding Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton between the Leicester City posts, Mark more than made up for a comparative lack of charismatic flair by dint of a dogged consistency and willingness to work at the raw edges of his game, eventually building a monumental club record…

Frank McLintock’s first and probably most valuable signing at £50.000. Eddie was a former team-mate of his new boss during the glory years at Highbury as well as at Loftus Road. A scorer in the 1970 Fairs Cup Final, Eddie had gone on to contribute mightily to Arsenal’s 1971 Double, entering the record books as…

Paul Dickov is a player that has pleased so many fans of different clubs and twice we had the pleasure of seeing him in the Leicester City blue shirt. He will always be recognized for taking part in two great promotions for the club, getting back up in the Premier League in 2002/03 and then…

Brought down from Gorbals and nurtured at Filbert Street as a probing wing-half, Frank possessed the rare combination of toughness and elegance and soon became a key element in City’s then revelutionary midfield strategies of the early 60’s. Wether switching wing-half and inside forward roles mid-match with Graham Cross or creating crossfield magic with Davie…

Kasper Schmeichel joined Leicester City from Leeds United back in 2011. A fee of £1million changed hands as the “son” joined and was seen as a clear first choice by then manager Sven Goran Eriksson. Kasper had allready served under “Svennis” at Manchester City but was never considered a first choice alternative at The Etihad…

Jettisoned early from Sheffield Wednesday’s youth ranks, Jamie built a dramatic goalscoring career at successively higher levels of the non-league game, despite maintaining a distinctly “laddish” off-field reputation that at one stage saw him playing for Stocksbridge with a fitted tag and “curfew” restrictions. He became the 27-goal top scorer as Halifax took the Northern…
