Hello all,
I've been following Leicester City for about a year now, having just in the past 3 years or so become a fan of the Premier League. I grew up playing the game but ended up becoming a collegiate athlete as an American football player. My first job after graduation was a residential faculty member and teacher at a boarding school here in the States that had an academy program that drew players from all over the country for year round training and competition. A coach of the program and friend of mine had done some training with Fulham and was a die hard fan of the Whites. We started watching matches with the players in the academy program on Saturday mornings in the house and I got hooked.
Decided to back the Foxes after being enthralled with the reckless and loose nature of their play early in the season last year, especially during the 1-1 draw with Arsenal. The Great Escape was thrilling and I was up yelling at my television each morning. I watch a number of games at the local Premier League pub, Courtyard Hooligans in Charlotte, NC.
While my knowledge of the history of the club is growing, there is still so much I have yet to learn and I'm looking forward to taking in as much as I can from this community.
