Mentioned here in this interview with King as the hardest player he's played with.

 

Also Pearson as the best dancer 😂 and Schmeichel sounds a nightmare for the staff!

 

 

 

 

Lovely watch that, very erudite and he seems quite natural in front of the camera. He’s already covering our EL games on SSN but it wouldn’t be surprising to seem him get a more permanent gig if he can’t find a club.

Heard the Nigel story on Crouch’s podcast with Kasper and burst out laughing. Imagine big Nige pulling out the splits

I’d hate to be the bloke who has to face Marcin “ THE GRIM REAPER !!” Wasileski !! Especially in a Fuching cage you could just imaging me the guy Snarling and ready to steam roll you !!

We’ve got some real quality back there right now, but there’s certain games, and the previous weekend being one of them, when you really miss a big nasty bastard like him putting the right shits up the opposition.

Served him once on the rotisserie counter at Oadby Asda. He had more or less cleared us out of chicken thighs and drums.

 

I often wonder if any of them made it to the checkout uneaten.

Things to look forward to in 2021:

• Wasilewski's first career fight at the O2 Arena in London with a massive group of Leicester fans chanting 'Big Pole in, Big Pole out' around the Octagon.

Come on 2021, bring it home.

No idea, seen the meme on Facebook and thought it was funny, haven’t the foggiest how to edit these things so just rolled with it

Feels like an amalgam of Wasilewski and James Wesolowski...

[urban fox]

Last of the true hard men of football. Tbf  he was a bit of a throwback but I certainly wouldn’t have fancied playing against him. To paraphrase a well known line from the movies “you’re gonna need a bigger cage”

Is it just me or has his career flashed by in a blink of an eye James is 33 now and without a club feels like only yesterday he was a wonder kid breaking into the first team

Former Leicester defender Marcin Wasilewski to make shock turn to CAGE FIGHTING

By Max Winters For Mailonline 16:17, 24 Nov 2020, updated 17:19, 24 Nov 2020

Former player and winner Marcin Wasilewski has been tipped to become a cage fighter after his retirement from football.

 

The Polish defender spent four years at the King Power Stadium before leaving for Wisla Krakow in 2017 and he retired earlier this month.

 

Wasilewski, 40, played four times in the 2015-16 Premier League season when Leicester shocked English football by winning the top-flight title under Claudio Ranieri.

 

He also helped the Foxes to win the Championship title in 2013-14 before playing 25 times on their return to the Premier League in 2014-15.

The Pole was then largely used as back-up to first-choice defensive pairing Wes Morgan and Robert Huth during the title-winning campaign.

But after hanging up his boots it appears Wasilewski, who is known to be a huge fan of MMA, is in no mood to wind down.

Polish fight promoter Mateusz Borek has claimed the former Anderlecht defender could soon be stepping inside a cage himself.

 

He also hinted at a possible fight with former Bolton and Hearts defender Blazej Augustyn, who has also moved into MMA.

, he said: 'I know Marcin's sporting career is not yet over.  

'I think one of the MMA organisations will convince him to enter the cage.

'I know that this has always been Marcin's dream.

'People have said it would be a good fight between him and Blazej Augustyn.'

Wasilewski overcame a major setback during his time with Anderlecht after suffering a fractured leg following a challenge by Belgium and Borussia Dortmund ace Axel Witsel way back in 2009. 

Borek thinks the ability to overcome that adversity will stand him in good stead in his new endeavour. 

He added: 'I have respect for his entire career, and the way he overcame his fate.

'To rise up again after what an opponent did to him in the Belgian league deserves a world title.'

Its the type of signing we could do with right now 33/34 year old experienced ex international centre back, on a free, happy to sign on for a year, maybe happy to be a bit part player

Great servant to us, however I don't think VAR would be his friend.

Imagine someone in our current squad doing this. Throwback.

Of the cage, trying to keep out of the way of Wasilewski!

I imagine a few of them are tempted in training!
