Corky Posted 6 March 2016 Share Posted 6 March 2016 I like the fact we still have a player around now who was there during the tough times and was at the club at our lowest point. We have someone who can appreciate where we went to and how far we've progressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countryfox Posted 6 March 2016 Share Posted 6 March 2016 He came on yesterday for tactical reasons and not just to replace someone that was injured ..... really showed his worth to the team and TOP tinkering by the Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJB-fox Posted 6 March 2016 Share Posted 6 March 2016 Was awesome yesterday, involved in everything positive and strong in the 2nd half. Helped change the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted 7 March 2016 Share Posted 7 March 2016 The Grauniad rate him http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/mar/07/premier-league-talking-points-leicester-tottenham-arsenal “Without a little luck, nothing is possible,” said Claudio Ranieri after what feltlike three highly significant points at Watford. That slightly downplayed his own role in Leicester City’s latest triumph – Ranieri had acted quickly at half-time to arrest Watford’s growing control of the midfield by introducing Jeffrey Schlupp and, notably, the long-serving Andy King. But Ranieri is certainly fortunate to have a player such as King, who might have felt disheartened at being replaced by N’Golo Kanté after a good performance– and superbly-taken goal – in the midweek draw with West Brom yet was excellent in his 45 minutes at Vicarage Road. Kanté looked a notch short of his rampaging best in the first half but the substitute’s presence allowed him and Danny Drinkwater to forage more effectively while King, calm and efficient in possession, knitted things together. Between them, the three created a balance with which Watford could not get to grips. It was the kind of performance that makes a mockery of fears that Leicester’s squad will fall short at the last. For all the heroics of Kanté, Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy, those waiting in the wings have unfailingly produced when required and any contribution from King, who helped drag Leicester from League One in 2009, adds an extra element of fairytale. “Our boss is the team,” Ranieri added at the end. King is certainly the kind of supporting cast member willing to step up and take charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Bentley Posted 7 March 2016 Share Posted 7 March 2016 It'd be nice for King in the summer in the Euros to show Ramsey his medal. Then, at the Russia 2018 World Cup, he'll be able to show Gareth Bale his 2 Champions League winner's medals - whereas Gareth will still have just the one.

davieG Posted 7 March 2016 Share Posted 7 March 2016 Leicester player named as one of most loyal in Europe Loyalty is a rarity in the Premier League, with only two current players aged over 27 having stayed with the same club throughout their careers. They are Tony Hibbert, of Everton, and Andy King, of Leicester City. Every other senior player in the division has played for at least one other club. Neither is it only a problem in England. Research by the CIES Football Observatory found that, across Europe, only 29 footballers currently playing in the top flights of England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain aged 27 have only ever played for one club. The longest serving of those is Roma's Francesco Totti. The 39-year-old Italian is currently playing in his 24th season for the Giallorossi. That's in stark contrast to his former teammate and fellow World Cup winner Luca Toni. The Verona striker has been at a staggering 15 different clubs over the course of his career, more than any other player in the big five leagues (the top flights of England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain). Atalanta's Mauricio Pinilla is the next "least stable" player in the big five leagues with 14 clubs to date, followed by Crystal Palace's Kwesi Appiah with 13. Newcastle's Andros Townsend is the youngest player to make it into the Football Observatory's list of the least stable footballers. Despite being just 24 years old the England international has played for 11 different clubs - Tottenham, Yeovil, Leyton Orient, MK Dons, Ipswich, Watford, Millwall, Leeds, Birmingham, Queens Park Rangers and Newcastle. Three other Premier League players make the least stable list with 10 clubs each - Aston Villa's Scott Sinclair, Crystal Palace's Alex McCarthy and Sunderland's Dame N'Doye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, according to Wikipedia, he was in the Roma youth set-up for 3 years before his 24 years (ongoing) as a senior pro. He was a Roma youth player in 1989....a year before Gascoigne's tears at Italia 90, 3 years before the Premier League was formed, while Maggie Thatcher was still PM....and probably before most posters on here were born!
