Hard to believe he only played 8 games for us in that loan spell as I would have sworn he made more appearances than that.
Remember his debut away at Bristol Rovers on a Tuesday night. Rumour was that he was picked up at Leicester Forest services on the journey down and that was the first time he met the rest of the team. Despite having never trained with us he went straight into the starting line up and had a brilliant game that night. Way too good for our level and was only a matter of time till somebody gave him a chance at a higher level, but he contributed to our promotion season and we should always be grateful for that.
Terrible luck with injuries that forced an early retirement from the game, and ultimately could have cost him a lot more as he spiralled downwards after that, but thankfully he got himself back on track and is now involved with the Leicester academy.
