An Open Letter From Andy King

Recommended Posts

We'll that brought a year to my eye. What a man and a legend. Together with us through thick and thin and a fundamental part of how we changed as a club. I hope the next time we are in the stadium together we can have a rendition of the Andy king song. Good luck for the future Andy, we'll miss you.

What a man. Hope he comes back to the club in a new role once his playing days are over

Replacement for the Birch? He has very similar attributes in terms of loyalty, commitment and humility.

An Open Letter From Andy King

To my LCFC family,

Today it’s been announced that I’ll be leaving the Club and writing this was never going to be easy, even though I know it’s been coming for a while now. After all, all good things come to an end, but what a journey it’s been and I feel nothing but pride and happiness writing this statement.

I came as a 16 year old boy in 2005 chasing a dream of playing one game of professional football for Leicester City. I leave a Premier League champion, having played 378 times. I’ve given you my all every time I stepped on the pitch and, in turn, the amount of love and support you’ve shown me over the years has been unbelievable. You’ve been there in the bad times and the very best times and I will never be able to thank you enough.

I’m so happy the Club are allowing me the opportunity of showing my thanks to you at a later, safer date and that is something I’m already looking forward to. As a city, you’ve given me a life, a family and somewhere I now call home.

There are too many thank yous to place on record however, I have to say how Khun Vichai changed my life. The way he transformed not only the Club, but the mentality of me as a player and a person is immeasurable. The same should be said for Top, who I have nothing but gratitude and respect for in how he has treated me since he arrived at the Club.

To the lads, I can only thank you. It’s been a joy to pull the shirt on with you and together we’ve achieved things many people thought not possible.

The Club is an amazing place and I take great comfort knowing I’ve had the privilege of playing a very small part in that.

I’m now looking forward to the future, I’ve still got huge desire to play at the highest level possible, both at club level and in my international career, and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

I look forward to seeing you soon and, from now on, I watch and celebrate on as one of you.

Kingy

Excited by this. Hopefully it's a testimonial :fc:

Some of his early goals were of a class way beyond the level we were playing at.

 

He pretty much embodies the turning point for our club, was magic in that League One season and to still play a big part at the top end of the Premier League, and to win the bloody thing, is ridiculous.

 

Hope he can find happiness and a role that he enjoys outside of playing sooner rather than later because unfortunately those legs have clocked a few too many miles at this point.

Yeah he's had a funny career here spent his early years being far too good for the club and then spent his later years here with the club too good for him! 

 

Brilliant player though, I think it's important to remember how much of a pivotal role he played on the pitch for 7 or 8 years.
