Does Andy King count?

Yes, but only to 10 apparently.

 

[M17TT C]

He came to us when he was 15, 4 years before getting involved with the first team.

I’d count him as one of our own personally.

Fair enough and that's a decent enough stint tbf.

I always thought we got him around 16/17 after not getting a pro deal.





There was Chris O'Grady too to add to the epicness of this thread........

Historically, with the exception of the Coalville area, the City and County have never been strongholds of Association football - back in the day, most of the talented sporty kids at my comp in the late 1960s early 1970s were eggchasers to a man, looking at the Tigers' production line of talent over the last 30 years against the Academy - no comparison.

We're Leicester, we feed on the unconsidered or the overlooked, whether Scottish coal miners (60s), show ponies put out to grass (70s), journeymen with points to prove (90s), or Frenchies submerged in Ligue 2. Even some of the brainless ventures we have made into the upper reaches of the transfer market recently don't change the basic need to be quick witted and see ability in the bargain bin.

That said, our Academy return over the years has been OK, and at least we never offered Sasha Lenhart a contract.
