Louise Posted 6 October 2005 Posted 6 October 2005 Very good, especially for a Leicester player! I don't know the circumstances of course but on that showing he was probably pinched from us straight away.

Foxes_Trust Posted 6 October 2005 Posted 6 October 2005 From the chief source of City history - Of Fossils & Foxes (Dave Smith & Paul Taylor) Name: John King Born in Birmingham Hinckley Utd/Jan 1922 - City/July 1924 Halifax debut: 9.2.1922 at home to Clapton Orient paragraph about him "Kept in the reserves primarily by Harry Graham's consistency, Jack was an inside left who managed a respectable goal ratio on his sporadic senior appearances during 1921/2 & 1923/4, yet who later lasted less than a season at the Shay after moving with Tommy Duncan and scoring on his Halifax debut" City 7 appearances in the league 4 goals in the league
