If you talk Liverpool and Leicester, there are a few players and managers who can say they had a life in both camps. The recent is record signing, goalkeeper Danny Ward, who joined Leicester City this summer for a fee of £ 12 million.
Paul Konchesky is the last outfield player to be transferred between the clubs, joining back in 2011 during the days of Svennis in charge. Konchesky got a lot of stick during his time at Leicester and Liverpool, but in my view a great footballer, who scored a stunner and one to remember from a game against Wolves.
Emile Heskey made his dream move to Liverpool back in 2000 for a fee of £ 11 million, which back then was the highest transfer fee ever received for a Leicester City player, a bit strange to see Danny Ward, a goalkeeper cover, without significant first team experience, signing for Leicester 18 years later for a higher fee.
Former manager at Leicester City from 1939 to 1945, Tom Bromilow, was a legend at Liverpool as a player. Playing 341 league games in 11 seasons at Anfield. He is one with a very special record, being the first ever professional footballer to become a manager. This happened in 1932 when he took charge of Burnley.
From the good old days you also have Jack Bamber who joined Leicester City from Liverpool. Bamber played 113 league games while at Filbert Street. He moved further to Tranmere in 1927. He played 77 league games for Liverpool.
Gordon Milne joined Leicester as manager in 1982, and stayed on until 1986, when he was kicked upstairs giving place for Bryan Hamilton. Milne was a great success as manager of Leicester, brining them back up to the top flight and keeping there. He made the signing of Gary McAllister in 1985, who became a very important player at Leicester and also had a spell at Liverpool late in his career.
Alan Waddle was recruited from Liverpool in 1977, but his time at both Liverpool and Leicester was not what you would call a success. He had a short spell at Filbert Street, lasting just half a season, before moving to Swansea, where he helped his former teammate, John Toshack, doing well at Vetch Field.
Goalkeeper Michael Hooper is one that spent a few weeks on loan at Leicester City, while Leicester City goalkeeper Carl Muggleton moved the other way, also on a short loan spell. One not to forget is Kevin MacDonald who is actually one of very few who have returned to Leicester City, first on loan and later also being part of the coaching staff and also been in charge as a caretaker manager. He joined Liverpool in 1984 for a fee of £ 400 000, then a record sale by Leicester City.
