In the picture we see him at King Power for the game vs. Bristol City this season, showing his gratitude and love for Leicester fans, tributing him on the day.
Andy King is one fantastic athlete, person and role modell. He had his best years in the game at Leicester, but sadly not respected as well as he should have been by certain previous Leicester managers not really understanding the values and purpose of having such a fantastic player of continuity inside his squad.
Andy King played a total of 379 official games for Leicester, scoring 62 goals. He was very much a part of the 5000/1 achievement and had also major impact when Leicester were promoted from the second tier in 2014. We wish him all the best for his future.
