As a nod to Andy King spending a decade as a professional footballer at Leicester City Football Club, LCFC TV have put together a special feature-length documentary, following the midfielder’s rise from Academy prospect to Premier League champion.
King became a Fox at the age of just 16 and in 10 eventful years has gone on to become the first man ever to lift the League 1, Championship and Premier League titles.
But it has not all been straight forward for the Wales international, who during his time at the Club has had to deal with relegation heartbreak and two play-off defeats before playing a major role in what is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in sporting history.
King made his debut on 2 October, 2007 in a goalless draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers and, following some highly-productive campaigns, is now City’s leading goalscorer from midfield.
To document his rise, LCFC TV has spoken to a number of City stars past and present, including Kasper Schmeichel, Jamie Vardy, Anthony Knockaert, Richie Wellens and Martyn Waghorn, to get an insight into what King was like both on and off the pitch.
We’ve also sat down with Craig Shakespeare and former City manager Nigel Pearson to find out what qualities King brought to the Foxes fold during their time at the Club.
A full 10 years at one club is hard to come by in modern day football, as discussed popular journalists Manish Bhasin, Jonathan Northcroft and Robbie Savage, who also pay homage to the 28-year-old’s achievements.
Of course, one man that has seen King’s rise first hand has been loveable Club Ambassador Alan ‘The Birch’ Birchenall, who in the documentary recollects some of the midfielder’s finest moments in a Leicester shirt.
Meanwhile, Director of Football Jon Rudkin, Under-23s boss Steve Beaglehole and Under-18s manager Trevor Peake have all played a role in King’s development and will be on hand to recall his early days as a promising youngsfter at the Football Club.
