Marc Albrighton Retires From Football

[VLC86]

Not only a legend on the pitch but a legend off it is as well. What a great bloke.

[MonarchFox]

Gutted he's retired, thought he would still have a season or 2 left in him.  Probably happy and settled where he is so fair play.

 

What an unbelievable clubman he was for us.  Leicester Legend - his name will be in the history books forever for helping us to win the Premier League

[Leicesterpool]

He dont see himself as a celebrity type footballer. Hes seen many times shopping at star city in brum a lot and always respectful to anyone sees. 

[StanSP]

Legend etched into the history books forever for our club. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Feel quite emotional about this. All the very best for the future, Marc, would be great to see you involved with the club in some capacity again!

I know Vardy is the GOAT but this guy is just different. Likeable and lovable as a footballer and a person. Very sad that he's hanging up his boots but it probably makes sense. Hope he stays in football and has some involvement in the club

[Ricey]

One of my all time favourite Leicester players. Ran his socks off, always turned up in the big matches and just looked like he loved playing football. The amount of seasons when he was written off, only to force his way back into the team towards the end of the season because whenever he was on the pitch, things happened.

 

Shame the club didn't/couldn't give him a proper send off against Blackburn. I still find it weird that they didn't, as everyone knew he was being released.

[Hales]

What a lovely guy and a true professional. Thank you for the memories Marc 💙💙💙🦊

[Pita]

Happy retirement been a great player for LCFC during our golden period 

[suffolk fox]

Happy retirement Marc great player just loved his attitude.

[filbertway]

I'll never forget THAT cross.

[CrazyKopCorner]

Elite professional footballer and Leicester City Legend having won everything - completed it ! 

 

 

[MGLCFC]

Wonder if he's hoping for a draw on Saturday? Lovely bloke, great attitude and complete professional. Hope the future gives him new memories that are as rewarding as the one's he's had here.

[Bryn]

He surely had offers to continue, he must have decided he was ready to finish. Suspect he has a decent coaching career.

[001merp]

Does anyone know if they broadcast the match day stuff for the website from the stadium? Been confirmed he’s appearing for us on that so hopefully they’ll bring him out at some point for us to celebrate his career, and has been said it’ll be a nice touch for him with the Villa fans being there too

Thought this was coming when he was on 5 Live a couple of weeks back saying he hadn't missed pre-season or being told what to do and where to be.

 

A genuine modern day club legend like Kingy and Vards. Going elsewhere would have been a huge anti climax for him.

 

Haven't felt this emotional since Frodo jumped on the same boat as Gandalf.

[Hammo]

One last raucous, round-the-whole-ground  rendition of “Marc Albrighton” please on Saturday to send him happily on his way.

Which meant we had him all to ourselves 

 

[urban.spaceman]

More records!

 

 

 

[Webbo]

Surprised at that, I'd have thought he had another 2 years at least, somewhere on decent wages.

All the best Marc, true legend.

[Posthorn54]

Would love him to take over from the Birch eventually 

[Vacamion]

 

Disappointed at the lack of Messi and Marc pic in the thread so far  

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Reckon he’ll sign for someone in January on a short term deal, just a hunch.

Happy retirement, gave us so many brilliant memories, and a brilliant character. His goals against Bruges, Sevilla and Rennes. Great servant to us. It will be interesting to see what he goes into next, all the best to him
