Matty Piper not mentioned yet?

Pretty sure he is an Arsenal fan. We are his 'local team'.

Mahrez wants to leave so he can go back to sitting in the family stand every saturday

Barnes perhaps?

Choudhury seems to refer to us 'as my local team' rather than one he supports.

Hamza supports Arsenal.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

Don't forget our very own Birchy.

Barnes does, there was a video of him where he says that it was his dream as a kid.

Not sure if Harvey Barnes is, as his Dad is a Man Utd fan.

 

Josh Knight and his family are Leicester fans I believe.

[Basildon Fox]

Carl Heggs used to play for Northampton Town was a Leicester fan as was Nicky Platnauer who eventually played for us at the end of his career.

 

Scott Eustace was also a Leicester fan. Never made the break through at Leicester and went on to play for Cambridge Utd amongst others. Think Guy Branston was too.

As this thread seems to be mentioning retired players as well... I read years ago that Craig Forrest (the goalkeeper that played for Ipswich & West Ham), despite growing up in Canada, actually supported Leicester City as a relative (his uncle?) had played for us decades ago...

 

I sometimes catch feeds from Sportsnet in Canada & he often pops up on the panel, so not as obscure as it sounds at first!

Levi Porter? Born in Leicester, pure guess though.

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

Paul Ramsay is a regular spectator at the KP

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Jack Lester I heard has a close association to the club despite playing for the filth 

[Leicesterpool]

Julian Joachim I believe. Still playing footy I think at 43.

This confirms that not only is Liam Moore a big fan but also Wesley Morgan is a blue and he rather dislikes Forest.

[L Blocker]

Paul Bunce was a striker who played a handful of games in the 80's - He is a season ticket holder in the West stand and goes to many away games including those Champion League games

Stephen Oaks?

I could never really figure out whether Lineker's love or affection for us, especially during the title-winning season, is/was genuine - after all, he spent most of his playing career away from home.

Never shone through up until then from what I remember.

Then again, I suppose from a TV commentator/host's point of view, you've got to bite the bullet and remain impartial most of the time.

 

That's a bit unfair.

 

Lifelong fan, I remember reading about him as a young boy being driven home in tears after we lost to Liverpool in the FA Cup semi final.  

 

He  became a world class striker.  It would be weird if he stayed here to be honest, fan or not.

Unlikely.  He's from Peterboro.

 

Andy Peake perhaps?  Grew up in Mkt Harborough.
