Feeley was seen as somewhat of a tearaway during his early years. He was recommended to City boss Gordon Milne by Alan Birchenall, boss of Feeley's club Trowbridge at the time, and Milne wasted no time in signing him.
He'd burst on to the scene with Hereford United and actually became the youngest ever captain of a Football League team at the time at the age of 17. Injury and disciplinary problems didn't help him there, however, and he suffered a drop to non-league before being given a second shot with the Foxes.
It was a baptism of fire, making his debut at Manchester United in March 1984 as right-back, and he quickly impressed with a new-found commitment, making the right-back spot his own for a while. He refused a new contract to stay at the club though and found a new home with Brentford and then Bury before moving around non-league clubs.
Unusually, Feeley went on to work as a psychiatric nurse before returning to Bury to work as a Community Officer.
